Wakefit Somelle Sofa The Wakefit Somelle is a fabric sofa available in 1, 2, 3 seater and sectional configurations. It is built on a pine wood frame with plywood and MDF board support, zig zag spring suspension, foam seat fill, and polyester fabric upholstery. The Somelle is designed for everyday use in living rooms, apartments, and home offices. Ships with free delivery across India. What is the Somelle built from - and why does each material matter? Every material in the Somelle serves a specific structural or comfort function. Understanding each one helps you compare it against other sofas at a similar price point. - Pine wood frame - pine wood is the standard for quality sofa frames. It is strong enough to support daily use load without flexing or warping, and light enough to keep the overall weight of the sofa manageable. A pine frame is significantly more durable than particle board or engineered wood frames, which are common in budget sofas and tend to crack under repeated stress. - Plywood and MDF board support - plywood provides the base structure for the seat and back panels. MDF board adds density and uniform surface rigidity. Together, they distribute seating load evenly across the frame rather than concentrating stress on a few points. This prevents the sagging that is common in sofas with thinner support structures. - Zig zag spring suspension - zig zag springs (also called sinuous springs) run front-to-back across the seat base. They flex with the weight of a seated person and spring back when the load is removed. This gives the Somelle its seated comfort - not just the foam cushion on top, but the spring layer underneath it. A sofa without springs relies entirely on foam density for support; foam compresses permanently over time, springs do not. - Foam seat fill - foam cushions provide the immediate comfort layer. The foam in the Somelle is calibrated to be supportive without feeling hard. It does not feel soft enough to sink into uncomfortably, nor firm enough to feel like a chair. - Polyester fabric upholstery - polyester is the most practical fabric choice for a daily-use sofa. It resists staining better than natural fibres, holds colour well across years of use, and is easy to wipe clean. It is also more uniform in texture and appearance than woven natural fabrics, which can snag or pill. How does zig zag spring suspension compare to no-spring sofas? The suspension system is one of the most overlooked differences between sofas at similar price points. Most budget sofas in India use no springs at all - the seat base is a solid board with foam on top. The difference: - Without springs: The seated load compresses directly onto foam. Over 12-18 months of daily use, foam loses its original density and does not recover fully. The sofa begins to feel lower and harder. The seat may develop visible dips where people sit most often. - With zig zag springs (Somelle): The load is distributed across the spring layer first, then into the foam. Springs do not compress permanently. The foam sits on a surface that yields and recovers, which extends its useful life. The seated feel remains consistent over a longer period. Zig zag springs also contribute to the seated feel itself - the slight flex and rebound of a spring-based seat is what distinguishes a sofa that feels "alive" from one that feels like sitting on a padded board. Where can I use the Somelle sofa? The Somelle is designed for living room use as the primary seating surface. Common placements: - Living room - as the main sofa in a 2BHK or 3BHK living room. The 3-seater and sectional configurations suit larger rooms. The 2-seater works in compact living rooms where a full 3-seater would crowd the space. - Apartment living rooms - the Somelle's fabric upholstery and clean-lined design work in standard apartment layouts. It does not require a large room to look proportionate. - Home office lounge - a 1 or 2-seater Somelle in a home office creates a sitting area separate from the desk. Useful for longer reading or call sessions where a desk chair is not appropriate. - Guest room - a 2-seater Somelle in a guest room provides seating during the day and occasional pull-out potential depending on the configuration. Polyester fabric works on all floor types and does not catch or drag on hard floors or carpets the way leather and leatherette can. How do I care for the Somelle sofa? Polyester fabric is one of the lower-maintenance upholstery materials for daily-use sofas. - Regular care - vacuum the seat and back cushions weekly with a soft brush attachment to remove dust and debris. This prevents dirt from working into the fabric fibres over time. - Spills - blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub - rubbing spreads the stain and pushes it deeper into the fabric. For water-soluble stains, use a slightly damp cloth and blot dry. For oil-based stains, use a small amount of mild detergent on a damp cloth, then blot dry. - What to avoid - do not use bleach, strong solvents, or hot water on polyester fabric. These can damage the colour and weaken the fibres. Avoid leaving wet items on the sofa for extended periods. - Cushion rotation - if the Somelle has reversible cushions, rotate and flip them periodically to distribute wear evenly. - Sunlight - prolonged direct sunlight exposure can fade polyester fabric over time. Position away from windows with strong direct afternoon sun where possible. Why do 55 lakh Indian households trust Wakefit? Wakefit was founded in 2016 with a direct-to-consumer manufacturing model.
