American upholstered furniture gives any room respectability and charm. Colonial style sofas combine the modern comfort and aesthetics of the Wild West, emphasize 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.
Features
How American sofas differ from European and Russian, so it is versatility. Western furniture is not tied to a specific room, sofas can be placed not only in the relaxation room, but also in the office, office, bedroom and children's room. Also, sofas from America are famous for a wide range of sizes: Each manufacturer is ready to offer a choice of a large number of miniature models that look more like a wide armchair, as well as models that can become a sleeping place for three people.
Natural premium fabrics are the hallmark of every self-respecting manufacturing company. 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, buying an American sofa, you can be sure that the upholstery textiles are linen, cotton, leather or eco-leather.
The design of the sofa can correspond to different styles, but the design of any sofa will be approximately the same. Americans prefer a deep landing and a low back, complementing each model with pillows and rollers for comfort of the lower back. The classic of the American sofa is a relief back, curls on the armrests and curly legs. The upholstery is necessarily quilted, and the edging is made of furniture studs.
Brands and their range
Terry Grass's Roy Bosh furniture manufactured in Russia. The American company 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 gun, were brought from the USA. 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 berth is occupied in America by a system for increasing softness (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, more durable wood is chosen, the designs of classic sofas have additional reinforcement at the joints of parts.
Ashley sofas differ from the others in that the manufacturer was able to combine a chic Western design and a European folding bed system. In the conditions of small areas of Russian apartments, this solution is very advantageous. In their assortment are presented both angular models and models with a curly back, but folding forward.
A distinctive feature of this brand are curved armrests with wooden trim and the obligatory presence of wooden curved legs - colonial style and vintage style. The upholstery has neutral colors and is designed in a dark brown or light gray-brown range.

How to choose?
Furniture from the USA does not belong to the budget segment, it is a premium class, therefore there should not be any compromises when choosing. If we omit the detailed examination of all certificates, here is what you should pay attention to when choosing.
- Frame material. Each salon of American sofas should have demonstration models showing the quality of components. If there is no such model, then pay attention to the weight of the product. A sofa on a wooden frame weighs from 100 kg and above. 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 welcome.
- The structure of the frame. Furniture from America is made as collapsible as possible. Armrests are made separately, the seat is removed.
