79 in Teddy Velvet 3 Seat Sofa in Grey with S Shaped Springs, 5 in Cushions and Washable Covers

Floors in older houses are rarely flat. A sofa with four fixed legs finds the high spot and rocks on it, and the usual fix is a folded coaster that works its way out again within a week.

The foot pads on this one adjust. The short leg gets wound out until all four are loaded and the rocking stops for good. The record lists rubber wood legs and solid metal legs together under the frame.

Three cushions, rolled arms

The studio shot. Three loose seat cushions and three back pillows, rolled arms level with the top of the back, and short dark legs at the corners with two more supports along the front rail.

Where the 79 inches goes

Seventy-nine wide overall, 32.5 deep and 35 high. The seat area is 64.5 by 23 inches at 17.5 inches from the floor, the cushions are 5 inches thick, the back pillows 18.5 tall and the arms 26 inches up.

What is under the frame

The maker shows two kinds of support: turned rubber wood legs at the corners and black metal legs along the middle of the base. The foot pads screw up and down to level the sofa on an uneven floor.

Covers off, cushions fixed

Hook and loop strips hold the seat cushions in place so they stop creeping forward. The covers themselves unzip and the record states they are machine washable, which is unusual at this price.

Overall, arm to arm, on a 32.5 inch depth. The seating area inside that is 64.5 by 23 inches.

Measured on the maker's panel, filled with high resilience sponge and held by hook and loop strips.

Built into the seat base. Serpentine steel is what stops a foam seat sagging into the frame over time.

Zippered cushion covers, described by the maker as machine washable.

Adjustable foot pads that let the sofa sit steady on an uneven floor and protect the surface.

A short looped pile fabric. Softer underhand than flat velvet and better at hiding light marking.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Return within 14 days of purchase, unused, in original condition and packaging.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

Twenty-three inches of seat depth suits sitting back with your feet down rather than curling up sideways.

Zipped covers that go in the machine change what a light coloured sofa can survive over a few years.

What we stand behind

• Every dimension quoted here is read from the manufacturer's own product dimension panel.
• The store description says the seating area suits no more than four people. It is a three cushion sofa and this page describes it as a three seater.
• No weight capacity, carton size, net weight, assembly time or foam density is published, so none is quoted.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

Will it fit through my door?

Carton dimensions are not published, so use the assembled figures as your worst case. The sofa is 32.5 inches deep and 35 inches high, and a sofa goes through a door on its side, so the number that matters is the 32.5 inch depth against the clear width of the narrowest opening on the route. Measure the stair turn as well as the door.

What does teddy velvet feel like?

It is a short looped pile, closer to a sheepskin than to a flat velvet. It is warm underhand and forgiving about light marks, and like any pile fabric it takes a brush in one direction to look even again after someone has sat on it.

Are the covers really machine washable?

That is what the record states, and the maker photographs a zipped cover coming off. Wash cool and dry flat rather than hot, because a pile fabric shrinks more readily than a flat weave and a shrunk cover will not go back on the foam.

How much weight will it hold?

No weight capacity is published for this sofa, so no figure is given here. What is published is the suspension, S shaped steel springs under the seats, which is the part that determines whether a seat holds its shape over the years.
