Your Guide to Keeping Sofas and Armchairs Fresh, Fluffy & Fabulous

A beautiful sofa is the heart of any living space — it’s where we relax, connect, and unwind. But over time, even the most well-made sofas can show signs of wear and tear. Cushions may flatten, fabric can stretch, and colours might fade. The good news? With a few simple sofa maintenance tips, you can keep your sofa looking luxurious and feeling comfortable for years to come.

1. Rotate & Fluff Your Cushions Regularly

One of the easiest ways to maintain your sofa is to rotate your seat and back cushions every few weeks.
Just like flipping a mattress, this helps distribute wear evenly so one cushion doesn’t become softer or flatter than the others.
Regularly fluff and plump cushions — especially feather or down-filled ones — to restore volume and maintain shape.
This simple step prevents permanent compression and keeps your sofa looking showroom-ready.

2. Give Foam Inserts Time to Recover

If one area of your sofa feels flatter or softer, try switching the foam seat inserts between cushions.
This allows the foam to recover naturally while maintaining balanced comfort across your sofa.
Foam naturally compresses over time, so rotating inserts helps extend their life and prevents uneven sagging.

3. Protect Your Sofa from Sunlight & Heat

Direct sunlight and heat can fade fabric and weaken fibres, shortening the lifespan of your upholstery.
Keep your sofa away from harsh sunlight or use curtains and blinds to protect it.
For extra care, consider using a fabric protector to help guard against UV damage and spills.

4. Keep It Clean with Regular Maintenance

Dust, dirt, and everyday use can dull your sofa’s appearance.
To keep it fresh:

• Vacuum weekly – especially in seams and crevices.
• Blot spills immediately using a clean, dry cloth — never rub.
• Use fabric-appropriate cleaners or a professional sofa cleaning service every 12–18 months for deep cleaning.

Proper cleaning not only enhances the look of your sofa but also prevents dust build-up that can damage fibres over time.

5. Understand What’s Considered Normal Wear & Tear

All sofas experience natural wear over time. Cushion compression, slight wrinkling, and fabric stretching are normal signs of use — not manufacturing faults.
At OneWorld Collection, we design our pieces to last, but regular maintenance is essential.
Please note: cushion replacements are not covered under warranty when wear results from everyday use or lack of care.

6. A Few Extra Sofa Care Tips from the Experts

• Avoid sitting in the same spot all the time to minimise uneven wear.
• Keep pets and sharp objects away from upholstered surfaces.
• Use throws or covers for extra protection on high-use areas.
• For stubborn stains or major cleaning, always use a professional upholstery cleaner.
