American upholstered furniture lends respectability and charm to any room. Colonial-style sofas combine modern comfort and Wild West aesthetics, emphasizing the good taste and status of the owner of the house. The high cost of furniture from the United States is fully justified by its build quality, ease of use and excellent appearance.

Peculiarities
The difference between American sofas and European and Russian sofas is their versatility. Western furniture is not tied to a specific room, sofas can be placed not only in the recreation room, but also in the study, office, bedroom and nursery. Also, sofas from America are famous for a wide range of sizes: each manufacturer is ready to offer a choice of both a large number of miniature models, which more resemble a wide armchair, and models that can become a sleeping place for three people.
Premium natural fabrics are the hallmark of every self-respecting manufacturer. In the west, the price segment of sofas does not depend on the fabric with which it is covered.

Americans are more likely to save on other components than on appearance. Therefore, when purchasing an American sofa, you can be sure that the upholstery textiles are linen, cotton, leather or eco-leather.
The design of a sofa can correspond to different styles, but the design of any sofa will be approximately the same. Americans prefer a deep seating position and a low back, complementing each model with cushions and bolsters for lumbar comfort. The classic American sofa is the embossed back, curls on the armrests and curly legs. The upholstery is necessarily quilted, and the edging is made of furniture studs.

Brands and their assortment
Roy Bosh furniture from Terry Grass is manufactured in Russia... The American company has launched production in Moscow in order to reduce the time of delivery of products to the buyer. All components, machines, assembly tools, including staples and a pistol, were brought from the United States. Quality control is carried out directly by American managers. All American Roy Bosh sofas are soft.
The concept of the brand is that the sitting position is dictated by the user, not the furniture itself. This is possible due to the fact that the space allotted in European sofas for a sleeping place is occupied in American sofas by a softening system (in the USA there is no concept of a sofa bed). Furniture in Russia is not used for 3-5 years, as in the west, but is bought for a longer period. Based on this, a more durable wood is selected, the designs of classic sofas have additional reinforcement at the joints of the parts.

Ashley sofas differ from the rest in that the manufacturer was able to combine chic Western design and the European system of folding berths in them. In the conditions of small areas of Russian apartments, this solution is very advantageous. Their assortment includes both corner models and models with a curly back, but folding forward.
A distinctive feature of this brand is the curved armrests with wood trim and the obligatory presence of wooden curved legs - colonial and vintage style. The upholstery is in neutral colors and comes in a dark brown or light taupe range. All pillows are filled with a material with "memory", which is orthopedically adjusted to each person.

How to choose?
Furniture from the USA does not belong to the budget segment, it is a premium class, so there should be no compromises when choosing. If you omit the detailed consideration of all the certificates, here is what you should pay attention to when choosing.
- Frame material... Every showroom for American sofas should have demo models showing the quality of the components. If there is no such layout, then pay attention to the weight of the product. A sofa on a wooden frame weighs 100 kg and more. If chipboard is used in the manufacture, then such a sofa should not be taken. Birch plywood for the frame is not only allowed, but also encouraged.
- Frame structure. Furniture from America is made as collapsible as possible. Armrests are made separately, the seat is removable.
- Upholstery fabric must necessarily comply with the ISO 9001-9002 standard.
- Filler must be hypoallergenic, non-absorbent of liquids and odors.
- Tie straps must be flexible, spring base made in the USA.
- Sofa adhesive should not contain formaldehyde.
