Choosing a Sofa That Will Last for Generations

A sofa is more than a piece of furniture. It is where you relax, gather with family, and spend everyday moments that matter. Choosing one that will last for decades means thinking beyond style and colour. At Finline, every sofa, chair, and headboard is handmade in our workshop in Emo, Co. Laois. We take you behind the seams to show what to look for when choosing a sofa that will stand the test of time.

The Frame

A strong frame is the foundation of longevity. Look for hardwood frames with secure joinery. At Finline, every sofa frame is crafted from solid beech wood and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

The Comfort

Comfort comes from the right springs, padding, and cushions. Consider the seat firmness that suits you best, whether firm, medium, soft, or feather-quilted. Test the sofa for both upright sitting and lounging. A high-quality sofa can also be recovered in the years ahead to refresh its look and extend its life.
