A sofa is one of the most meaningful furniture purchases you’ll make. It anchors your living space, supports your family daily, and-when chosen well-will provide comfort and durability for more than a decade.
A sofa is one of the most meaningful furniture purchases you’ll make. It anchors your living space, supports your family daily, and-when chosen well-will provide comfort and durability for more than a decade. This guide breaks down the three elements that matter most when assessing sofa quality: foam density, fabric durability, and frame construction. Understanding these materials empowers you to make an informed investment in a piece that feels luxurious today and remains beautiful for years to come.

Foam density is one of the most reliable indicators of sofa quality. Density (measured in kg/m³) refers to how much material is packed into the foam-not how fi rm it feels. High-density foam maintains its shape, resists sagging, and provides lasting support.
Recommended Foam Types & Density Ranges
High-Resilience (HR) Foam - 32–38 kg/m³ The gold standard for everyday use. Offers excellent “spring-back” and maintains comfort over time.
High-Density (HD) Foam - 28–35 kg/m³
Durable and consistent; often used in secondary layers or occasional-use pieces.
Memory Foam (Comfort Layer Only)
Adds contouring softness but works best as a top layer-not as structural support.
What This Means for Your Sofa’s Lifespan
Using higher-density foams in cushions:
Danske Møbler sofas use carefully selected foam combinations that balance comfort, resilience, and longevity-ensuring your sofa continues to perform beautifully every day.
For fabric sofas, durability is measured using the Martindale test, which simulates wear through controlled abrasion cycles (“rubs”). The higher the number, the more robust the fabric.
Martindale Abrasion Scale
For most family homes, 25,000+ Martindale rubs is ideal for longevity.
Other Fabric Qualities to Look For

The frame is the structural foundation of your sofa. Its materials and joinery determine how stable, durable, and long-lasting the entire piece will be.

High-Grade Plywood (Multi-Layered)
Metal Frames
Softwoods / Particleboard
Craftsmanship Matters
A high-quality frame also features:
Suspension sits beneath the cushions and determines how well your sofa supports your weight-contributing directly to comfort and feel.
Common Suspension Types
Reinforced Webbing
Coil Springs - Premium Option

Comfort Layer
Soft HR foam or fibre for initial softness.
Transition Layer
Balances comfort and support.
Core Support Layer
High-density foam maintains structure and resists sagging.
Optional Memory Foam Topper
Enhances contouring comfort without compromising support.
What foam density should I choose for a long-lasting sofa?
Aim for 32–38 kg/m³ HR foam for everyday comfort and durability.
What is the Martindale rating?
A measure of fabric abrasion resistance. Higher numbers indicate greater durability.
How long should a sofa last?
A well-constructed premium sofa should last 10–20 years with proper care.
Do hardwood frames make a difference?
Yes - kiln-dried hardwood offers superior strength and stability.
Are leather sofas more durable than fabric?
Leather is naturally durable and develops beautiful character over time.
Example: Cassia 3 Seater Leather Sofa
