Cloud is known for its comfort and providing that sink-in feeling when you relax into it. It features a sensible mix of 50% Down Feather, and 50% Foam. How did we get to half half? After years of producing sofas, in search for the ultimate profile of comfort, we found the mix of 50% feather, 50% foam is them perfect level to ensure durability and long term performance, without sacrificing comfort.

How is the Cloud Sofa built?

The ever popular Cloud sofa is a sofa like no other, and is built in a particular way. All versions of this couch are handmade, in-house by our team. No cloud sofa is same, that's why we go to the extra detail to build your order from scratch. Like all of our sofas, Cloud is built on a Harwood frame. Particular selection of timber parts, ensure strong, sound, and durable frame that is everlasting. All the Timbers are sustainably source, and we elect to use Larch style lumbar, which ensures the highest levels frame strength with the ability to handle flex and pressures within the frame. Included into the base of the frame, is an 8 Gauge (non sag spring) system, which is recessed by 2 layers of high density inner foams. In conjunction with the mixed down, mixed foam seat, it creates a unique comfort profile that is highly sought after, exclusive to the Cloud. While visual appearance and style is important, the quality and longevity of the internal materials and build make a genuine difference in how your sofa weathers and handles with use over time.

Why the Cloud Sofa might not be right for you?

Size

The size of Cloud Sofa is not perfect for everyone. While Cloud has the ability to be a fully modular (meaning it can come in any way you wish to set it up), it is one of our larger options and this. Each module of the Cloud Sofa measures 110cm x 110cm. The sizing will depend on how you plan to set it up in your home and what you order. Most customers find the easiest way to find work out what size will work is to add the modules up and see how the size works in your place (ie. 2 modules across is 220cm wide, 3 modules across is 330cm, 4 modules across is 440cm). We also offer a smaller (petite) version of the Cloud Sofa which is 100cm x 100cm - this is perfect if the Classic Size is too large for your space. This was introduced at the start of 2022 to help customers who cannot fit the classic size. Please note due to the sizing differences, the Classic and Petite size can not be mixed. The Cloud Sofa ships in pieces to ensure it can be delivered into your room, and set up accordingly once it is unboxed. Remember to measure your living space before you search for a sofa, as this will save time and will rule out options immediately.

Modular design

Some people may consider a modular sofa to be the only way to go, although some others may not necessary need or prefer all the splits and connections that come with it. The Cloud and its modular design work best for those in small spaces who cannot fit a large sofa in, those who are looking to add or move pieces in years to come, or those who rely on the ability to move parts of their living space at times. Please note we offer modular clips free of charge, so costumers can turn their modular into a fixed sectional within a matter of seconds. Modular clips are not visible when installed.

Cushion filling

The Cloud seat, and back cushions are filled with 50% Down Feather, 50% Fibre. While this filling provides the comfort Cloud is known for, it needs to be ‘plumped-up’ to maintain a neat appearance and shape. You will need to fluff and pat the cushions at your desire, to maintain and keep the natural ‘loft’ of the Cloud Sofa. We also offer our customers the option for cost plus replacement cushions, made entirely of foam and not feather if they are wanting something a little firmer. The Cloud Sofa is also lower to the floor, and laid back. This is essential to ensuring the huge, deep comfort that you expect from this model.
