# Living Comfort: Sourcing Sofas & Beds
Phase 2. The Furniture halls are enormous.
## 1. Leather vs. "Leather-Aire"
* **Top Grain Leather:** Real skin. Expensive.
* **Leather-Aire (Tech Cloth):** Fabric that looks/feels like leather but breathes. Very popular now. Cheaper and durable.
## 2. Sofa Construction
* **Frame:** Kiln-dried wood? (Prevents mold/warping).
* **Foam:** High density (35kg/m3+). Ask to see the foam sample. Soft foam sags in 1 year.
## 3. Production Hub
* **Foshan (Longjiang):** The furniture capital of the world.
* **Hebei (Shengfang):** Known for cheaper, glass/metal dining tables (IKEA style).
## 4. MOQ
* **Mixed Container:** The key to buying furniture is finding a factory that lets you mix 5-10 models in one container. Don't buy 50 sets of one sofa unless you are a big retailer.
## Summary
Sit on it. Bounce on it. Check the stitching. Furniture is a tactile purchase.
