The below advice is to help you maintain your sofa to ensure you can get the very best out
of it.
Once you have received your sofa please reshape and plump the cushions back to their
original shape, it may take a few days for any creases to drop out.

by shaking and squeezing to even out the fibres every day. This will provide longer lasting
comfort and life.

swap cushions around from favourite seat locations and flip them where possible.

Chenille, velour and velvets may flatten in use, crush marks and random shading will
occur. This is a normal characteristic of this fabric.
Periodically check and re-tighten feet where required.
Keep upholstery out of direct sunlight to avoid discolouring.
Do not place the furniture in a conservatory, excessively dry or humid conditions.
Avoid sharp items such as toys, jean rivets and buckles coming into contact with the
upholstery as these can easily snag, tear or pull the fabric.
To maintain the appearance and durability of your suit, restrain children and pets
from climbing and jumping on the sofa.
Leather is a natural product and can display natural marks and characteristics such as
healed scars, grain directions and creases. These are natural features not faults.
Please dust leather regular and clean with a damp cloth.
