company news about What is the compressed sofa?

A compressed sofa (or compressed furniture) refers to a sofa that has been vacuum-sealed and tightly compressed into a compact package for easy shipping and storage. This method is commonly used for online furniture sales, allowing sofas to be delivered in flat boxes rather than bulky pre-assembled forms.

**How Does a Compressed Sofa Work??

1. Vacuum Sealing – The sofa’s foam or fiberfill cushioning is compressed under high pressure and sealed in plastic.

2. Compact Packaging – The frame (often modular or foldable) is disassembled or flattened to fit in a box.

3. Expansion After Unboxing – Once opened, the foam regains its original shape within hours/days.
