Your sofa is the heart of your home, a place to relax, host friends, or unwind at the end of a long day. Yet choosing the right design involves more than just looks. Comfort, fill type, and fabric all play a role in how your sofa feels, lasts, and complements your lifestyle. This guide unpacks everything you need to know to select an indoor sofa that’s as practical as it is beautiful.
The comfort of a sofa begins beneath the fabric. The right filling determines support, bounce and how the sofa ages over time.
Feather Blend: Soft, plush and luxurious - best suited to relaxed living spaces where comfort is key. Requires regular fluffing to maintain shape.
Foam: Offers structured support and crisp lines. High-density foam provides durability and a contemporary aesthetic.
Feather & Foam Combination: Satara’s signature option - a feather-wrapped foam core that offers the best of both worlds: sink-in comfort with lasting structure.
Tip: For high-traffic family areas, look for high-resilience foam wrapped in feather or fibre for comfort without sagging
At Satara we offer all these sofa fill types throughout our range.
The right fabric balances aesthetics, durability, and cleanability.
Performance or Recycled Fabrics:
