Formation of folds The hardness of the seat changes with the so-called “settling in” process. Depending on type and length of use, the seat becomes softer. This is a normal process which occurs with any type of upholstery. To achieve equal hardness, it is important to change your seating position from time to time. Otherwise, the result can be the formation of folds and hollows on one side (“favourite seat” phenomenon). As a guideline: the stronger the covering material and the larger the upholstered surface, the greater the tendency towards fold and hollow formation. Another contributing factor is the fact that fabric and leather stretch to a lesser or greater degree with body weight, thus ripples can be formed as a result. This change in appearance has an almost non-existent effect on use, function and product life and does not constitute a material defect. Formation of ripples so-called “settling in” process.

Functions Functional items such as recliners and sofas with hinged armrests or height-adjustable backs require fittings with complicated adjustment mechanisms. In order for these mechanisms to function reliably for a long time, it is important to handle them carefully. With sofa beds, it is best to handle the retractable parts by holding them in the centre or with both hands simultaneously on the left and right side. In this way, the fittings cannot be twisted or damaged from being handled on one side only. The hinged footrests of recliners as wells as adjustable, hinged armrests or headrests must not be used for sitting purposes. Please observe the load limit directions according to the product enclosure. Functional parts require a certain amount of clearance. Slight dimensional modifications caused by the thickness of the various covering materials are unavoidable. |
