Questions and answers
- Which is better for a family room with kids and pets?
- The UPPLAND is easier to live with because its covers are removable and washable. The Lounge has the sturdier hardwood frame, but its custom fabric is not described as washable.
- Which sofa lasts longer?
- The Lounge should last longer. It uses a benchmade kiln-dried hardwood frame and a Flexolator foundation, while the UPPLAND uses a particleboard frame.
- Is the Lounge worth the extra $1,130?
- Yes if you want hardwood construction, a 24-inch seat depth and fiber-down cushions and plan to keep the sofa for years. No if you want a chaise and washable covers on a budget.
- Which is better for lying down?
- The UPPLAND, because it has a chaise. The Lounge is a straight 93-inch bench sofa with no chaise section.
- Which seats more people?
- The Lounge. Its seat is 83 inches wide versus 68 1/8 inches on the UPPLAND, and it is 93 inches wide overall versus 88 1/4 inches.
- Do I have to assemble either one?
- The UPPLAND assembles in about 10 minutes. Assembly is not stated for the Lounge.
