Traditional sofas have gradually failed to meet users’ demands due to a bulky size, limited functionality, and difficulty in maintenance. This multipurpose soft sofa not only addresses all above problems, but also makes innovation in material selection and structural design to offer users a safer, more practical and more environmentally friendly furniture option. With high flexibility, it can effortlessly adapt to small living spaces increasingly common in the post-pandemic era.
The product features a patented, frame-free structure, and is entirely filled with memory foam. This significantly reduces its weight, and fundamentally prevents injuries associated with the sharp edges of traditional metal frames, ensuring higher safety and better comfort. Meanwhile, the modular sofa supports free combination as needed, which can adapt to various scenarios like work from home or guest coming (serving as a temporary bed), greatly improving space utilization. Boasting excellent water resistance, the product repels liquid on contact, and can be wiped clean in just 10s without leaving marks, effectively addressing uneasy-to-clean splashes in daily life. Additionally, it adopts antibacterial technology and odor-resistant design to inhibit 99% of common bacteria while removing the odors of sweat and pets’ urine, thus providing a healthy and hygienic living environment for users.
The sofa also adheres to ergonomic principles. Its backrest, with an inclination of 110°, offers optimal support to the lower back, effectively alleviating fatigue from prolonged sitting. The incorporation of a 15° golden angle forms a natural triangular structure for enhanced stability. When converted into a mattress, the product features a headrest (a height of 9cm) to precisely support the head and neck, allowing users to maintain a comfortable sleeping posture for better rest.
