It is often used in leather sofas, leather chairs, and of course, fabric seating.
Nowadays tufted sofas come in a variety of styles and forms 

and can be used in almost any space, the leather, colours, 

and finishes can bring a different appearance and effect to the interiors.
As a professional leather sofa factory, we are going to take a closer look at the types of tufted sofas with you, 

so let's delve into them.

What Is Tufted Sofa?

Tufting is a process in which layers of fabric are tightly sewn together in a pattern using hand-pulled buttons 

or stitching to secure the surface of the furniture with fleece or buttons.
A tufted sofa is a sofa with a tufting process characterized 

by buttons or piles tufting along the back and armrests of the sofa, 

allowing the surface of the furniture to be sunken piece by piece,

 forming folds and neatly arranged patterns that add visual interest and texture to the tufted sofa.
Tufted sofas are often upholstered in fabric or leather. 

Popular for its classic and timeless appearance, 

it is often used in both traditional and contemporary designs.

We have already explained in detail in another article "What is tufted furniture?”

What are the different types of the tufted sofa?

Tufted sofas come in various types, 

and furniture manufacturing craftsmens primarily use five main techniques to achieve the tufted look for furniture.

The most common ones are diamond tufting, biscuit tufting, 

button tufting, blind tufting and corded tufting.
While their styles may look similar, 

each style has its own unique charm, and these features can add aesthetic appeal to any space.

1.Diamond tufting

This is one of the oldest and most common techniques used in tufted sofas, tufted chairs, and similar furniture.

The leather or fabric is pulled and fixed in a way that creates a diamond-shaped pattern in the upholstery of the sofa.

Because each tuft has extra cushioning, this results in a more comfortable seating experience.

Sometimes pleated or seamed panels are used to add depth to the design and accentuate the look.
The Chesterfield sofa is a classic tufted sofa style that features rolled-up arms, deep button tufting, and a low backrest.

Chesterfield sofa is usually made of leather, therefore, it has a traditional, luxurious appearance.

2.Button tufting

As the name suggests, button tufting is held in place with a button in the centre of each indentation.
It has a lighter stitch than diamond tufting and creates a slight indentation in the furniture.
Usually, the buttons match the colour of the fabric of the tufted sofa, but sometimes buttons in contrasting colours are used to add interest.

By the way, atIconic Society Furniture, we can customise it to suit different requirements.

 3.Biscuit Tufting

Biscuit tufting is also known as the "hair bun" technique. In a biscuit tufted sofa, the leather or fabric is stitched into

 a uniform square or rectangle of approximately 8-10 inches for added comfort. It has the linear look commonly used in medieval aesthetics.

4.Blind tufting 

Less common than the techniques described above, blind tufting can be essentially any pattern of tufting.
This effect is achieved by pulling back the fabric with small stitches and securing it with knots on the surface of the sofa.
This will give a more minimalist look with no visible decorations such as visible buttons or ribbons 

and will not show something that keeps the indentation in place.

Therefore, it is a popular choice for customer groups who prefer a minimalist look, and for families with children and pets as well.

5.Channel tufting

Channel tufting has horizontal or vertical seam lines rather than indentations.
The padding fills the long grooves between the two seam lines for a more contemporary appearance.
This tufting style is widely used in leather sofas and lounge chairs as it gives a sense of fullness to tufted furniture.

3.How long will a leather sofa last?

The life span of high quality leather sofas is generally 10-15 years or longer. 

The product life depends on the following aspects.

The choice of fabric is critical to longevity. High-quality top grain leather is usually more durable, 

up to 10 years or more. Poor quality man-made leather requires replacement in as little as 2-3 years.

The quality of the frame and filler also affects the overall life. 

Solid wood frame and high-density padding foam is more durable and comfortable.

Regular care and maintenance prolong the life.

Use environment directly determines the speed of product change. 

Ventilation and cool environment is the most suitable for leather furniture. 

High temperature and humidity tend to make the leather aging prematurely.

Reasonable use is also one of the key factors. Excessive use speed will accelerate the wear and tear of the leather. 

Try to use the entire cushion evenly can prolong the effect better.

In short, the life of the leather sofa in 10-15 years or more, 

depends entirely on the selection of materials, design, use of the environment, regular maintenance and reasonable use. 

High-quality leather plus careful care, 

so that it can last more than 10 years of comfort, is very worth the long-term investment.
