High Quality Sofa Made to Last

Our Cushions & Frame Quality

Quality & Sustainability

Exceptional Cushion Quality

At What A Room, we use 2.5 lb High Resilient (HR) foam core for our seat cushions, a high-quality material often used in commercial-grade furniture. This is unlike the cheaper 1.5-2.0 lb foam found in many mass-produced sofas, making ours much more durable. Our foam can handle weight and pressure, staying in shape for over 10 years, which is much longer than the 3-7 years offered by other brands. Our goal is to deliver the most long-lasting cushions without losing out on comfort. You can pick how firm you want your seat cushion, all of which use a 2.5 lb HR foam core and are wrapped in Dacron or Down Feather for extra comfort and support.

In additional all our foams are CertiPUR-US® certified poly foam which is made without any harmful chemicals like ozone depleters, PBDE flame retardants, mercury, lead, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates.

Craftsmanship for Life

Handcrafted Frame Built to Last

Our frames are made with kiln-dried, solid wood that provides for exceptionally sturdy, long-lasting furniture pieces. Our frames are joined with corner blocks, ensuring extra lifespan & durability. All frames are backed by our limited lifetime frame warranty, applicable to the original owner and original delivery address only.

The kiln-drying process prevents frame warping and mildew in humid climates. Most of our sofas are designed with a “pitch”. This is a slight angle in the seat and/or back which allows you to comfortably sit back and almost sink into the sofa.

In additional all our foams are CertiPUR-US® certified poly foam which is made without any harmful chemicals like ozone depleters, PBDE flame retardants, mercury, lead, heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates.

We are constantly improving our representation of custom products on our website. That said, every monitor and display could have slight variations for color. We recommend you ordering free fabric samples to visualize the color in your home's lighting through the day and night time.

We invite you to reach out to us if you need something beyond what our online store allows in customization options. It is highly likely we can find a solution for you, whether it is a different configuration, adjusting other dimensions, picking the perfect size.

FIRMNESS GUIDE
At What A Room, our seat cushions are made with 2.5 lb High Resilient (HR) foam, a quality usually found in commercial furniture. Unlike many mass-produced sofas that use 1.5-2.0 lb foam to cut costs, our denser foam is more durable. It withstands weight and pressure better, keeping its shape for over 10 years, compared to the 3-7 years lifespan of others. We aim to offer the most durable cushions without compromising comfort.

  • Soft: A soft foam seat cushion is comfortable and versatile to provide support and relief during extended periods of sitting. Crafted from high-quality, plush foam material, this cushion gently contours to the shape of your body and may help reduce pressure on key pressure points. The experience is akin to sitting "in" the cushion rather than merely "on" it.
  • Medium: Between plush and firm, medium seats strike a balance between contour and support. Built with cushioning made to give just a tad as you sit, the medium level doesn't keep you too upright – but also doesn't let you sink too far down. 
  • Firm: The seats provide a supportive feel that aids in maintaining a neutral posture while seated. This attribute is advantageous for individuals with back issues or those who prefer a solid and stable sensation. Opting for a firm seat cushion transforms the experience from sitting in the sofa to sitting on it. This technology mirrors the firm options available in many mattress foams, catering to individuals who seek higher levels of support. Therefore, choosing a firm seat ensures a denser surface for your seating comfort.
  • Trillium: A premium down-alternative fill designed to deliver the same plush, sink-in comfort as natural down—but without any of the drawbacks. Made from high-quality, ultra-fine synthetic fibers, trillium offers a soft, luxurious and lived-in look, while providing better durability and support. 

    Unlike traditional down, trillium won’t clump, flatten, or require constant fluffing. It’s also hypoallergenic, making it a great choice for those with sensitivities to feathers or allergens. Whereas with down, feathers will pop out over time. Trillium-filled cushions are easier to maintain and hold their structure longer, giving you that cozy, cloud-like feel with less effort.

Dog & Cat Friendly Fabrics

The following patterns are fabrics that we believe will be best if you have a cat. However, we advise you to order fabric samples to ensure they will be compatible with your cat.

  • Patterns: Bella, Bennet, Contessa, Dalton, Devon, Empire III & Marquis.

Here some tips to keep in mind:

  • Avoid light fabrics: These tend to show spills, stains and drool marks the most.
  • Match the fabric to your pet's fur.

While we cherish our feline companions, cat claws have a distinctive ability to damage even the toughest materials, including wood. Our fabrics are designed to endure heavy use thanks to their high rub count. However, if your cat treats the sofa as a scratching post, it is likely to suffer damage because of the sharpness of their claws. We strongly recommend that cat owners discourage their cats from scratching the sofa or using it as a scratching post.

Fabric Care Guide

In general, we recommend promptly treating spots and stains, and avoiding excessive rubbing or brushing. If your fabric can be cleaned using water, upholstery steam cleaners can work magic. If spot cleaning with water, we recommend wetting larger areas in order to avoid the possibility of water stains. Finally, while some fabrics are machine washable, we recommend hand washing or spot treating whenever possible to avoid wear and the possibility of slight shrinkage.

  • Cleaning (W) Code Fabrics
    A "W" indicates that your piece can be cleaned with water. This means you're safe to use an upholstery/carpet cleaner on your spill or stain.
  • Cleaning (S) Code Fabrics
    An "S" indicates that your piece needs to be cleaned with cleaning solvents (dry clean only) and will not react well if water is applied to it. Spot cleaning is only advised if the product is meant for home dry cleaning use. Make sure that after using a product of this nature to use a blow dryer to dry the spot so it doesn't leave a ring! Stains, spills or dirt in general should be cleaned as soon as possible to retain the longevity of the colors and the fabric.
  • Cleaning (W/S) Code Fabrics
    A "W/S" indicates that you can use either dry cleaning solvents or water with mild hand soap for cleaning. Clean spots as soon as possible before they have a chance to set in.

    Solid-wood, custom designed, gorgeous and comfortable

    After scouring the web for a high-quality sofa made of solid wood (not MDF) we're so glad we found What A Room. We were able to choose our exact dimensions, in fact we had a blue print emailed to us that we were able to edit and send back to make it perfect. We had multiple beautiful fabric samples sent to our house, and we appreciate that each fabric comes with recommendations in terms of pet-friendliness, ability to clean, etc. We'd recommend What A Room to any of our friends, and Alex MCM to anyone with a bend toward mid-century modern.

    Awesome Sofa

    I’m really happy with my sofa. Love the color and fabric. I love that. I could customize the depth. Maybe I should’ve gone with the downfield, but the medium is nice as well. Overall, very happy.

    Love my couch!

    We’re incredibly happy with this couch! We have a fairly small sunroom, so being able to customize measurements was essential, and it also allowed us to get a few more inches in width and depth than what we ever had before. With 4 kids, 5 cats, and a dog, I also decided it was time to pay a little more for washable, durable fabric. I haven’t put anything in the washing machine yet, but I love how easily spots—and fur—seem to wipe off the textured velvet. The matching ottoman is also game changing in terms of comfort!
