🛋️ How to Maintain Your OPA Living Sofa | Fibre-Filled vs Foam Built-In Sofas

Keep Your Sofa Looking and Feeling Luxurious

Sofas are an investment in both comfort and style. At OPA Living, our range includes two distinct cushion types:

  • Fibre-filled sofas like the Cloud, Poka, and Maddox — offering a relaxed, plush, sink-in feel.

  • Foam built-in sofas such as the Sky, Lola, and Storm — designed for sleek looks, easy maintenance, and firmer support.

Each type requires specific care to maintain its comfort, longevity, and appearance. Here's how to keep your sofa looking showroom fresh for years to come.

🧺 How to Care for Fibre-Filled Sofas – Cloud, Poka & Maddox

✔️ Why Fibre-Filled Needs Regular Maintenance:

Fibre-filled sofas are designed to be super-soft and comfortable, but the fibres naturally settle and compress over time. Without regular care, cushions can become flat or uneven.

Top Maintenance Tips for Fibre Sofas:

  • Daily or Regular Plumping: Gently beat, pat, and reshape cushions to redistribute the fibre evenly. This prevents sagging and lumpiness.

  • Rotate Cushions Weekly: Flip and rotate cushions regularly to ensure even wear.

  • Vacuum Frequently: Use a soft brush attachment to remove dust and dirt that can cause fibres to break down prematurely.

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: This prevents fabric fading and fibre weakening.

  • Professional Cleaning Yearly: Keep your sofa looking its best with an annual deep clean.

💡 Tip: Fibre-filled sofas are designed for that relaxed, casual look. Some natural settling is normal and part of the aesthetic.

✔️ Why Foam Built-In Is Low-Maintenance:

Our foam built-in sofas offer firmer seating with minimal maintenance. The seat and back are fixed into the frame, so there's no need for regular plumping.

Top Maintenance Tips for Foam Built-In Sofas:

  • Wipe Down Weekly: A damp microfibre cloth helps remove dust and debris.

  • Vacuum Cracks and Crevices: Keep dirt from settling in seams with a handheld vacuum.

  • Spot Clean Immediately: Any spills should be treated promptly with a mild upholstery cleaner.

  • Keep Out of Direct Sunlight: Prevent fading and maintain fabric integrity.

  • Check the Frame Occasionally: Tighten bolts or screws if your sofa design requires it.

💡 Tip: Built-in foam sofas retain their shape beautifully while offering a modern, structured look perfect for everyday family life.

✨ General Sofa Maintenance for All OPA Sofas:

  • Order Fabric Protection: Use professional fabric guards to resist stains and spills.

  • Use Throws or Blankets: Protect high-contact areas like armrests and seats.

  • Avoid Sitting on Edges: This preserves cushion structure and frame strength.

  • Pet Owners: Use protective covers and regularly lint roll to reduce wear.

Whether you own the laid-back, cloud-like comfort of a fibre-filled sofa or the modern, structured look of a foam built-in design, regular care ensures your OPA Living sofa remains a statement piece for years to come.
