Disclosed are connectors, sofa chair frames and sofa chairs. A connector includes first and second members disposed in first and second directions, respectively. The first member includes a through hole along the first direction and a notch in the first direction on a peripheral wall of the first member to enhance an elasticity of the first member. The notch allows the through hole of the first member to couple with any one element in a plurality of first elements, where at least two elements in the plurality of first elements are different from each other. The second member has a first end coupled to a middle portion of the first member, and includes an opening recessed inwardly from a second end in the second direction to accommodate at least a portion of a second element.

It is of interest to be able to adjust the upholstery firmness of furniture for sitting and lying on as individually as possible, in particular with a view to being able to use the furniture for a long time. In addition, there is a need for a design which allows firmness adjustment to be integrated and which can be realized as flexibly as possible for different furniture or seat variants. The invention provides an upholstered-furniture arrangement (100) which has a basic frame (7) and an upholstered cushion (6) on which someone can sit or lie, which is fixed to the basic frame at least in the edge region thereof and which has a panel (4) beneath it for upholstery-firmness adjustment, the panel being arranged in the basic frame (7) such that the height of the panel can be adjusted by pivoting the panel, wherein the end of the panel (4) located opposite a pivot shaft (14) is arranged freely in the basic frame (7), and a height-adjustment device acts on the panel (4) from beneath by applying an adjustable compressive/prestressing force (F), the height-adjustment device being supported in the downward direction by the basic frame, counter to the compressive/prestressing force. This arrangement has an attractive, direct technical effect and offers a good compromise between cost and benefit.

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for an assembled furniture. The assembled furniture includes a cover having a plurality of inner compartments and a plurality of dividers. The assembled furniture also includes a plurality of cushions disposed within respective inner compartments of the cover, where the plurality of cushions are confined in the inner compartments by the plurality of dividers. The plurality of inner compartments may include a back inner compartment, a left arm inner compartment, a right arm inner compartment, and a bottom seat compartment. The left arm inner compartment may be adjacent to an end of the back inner compartment. The right arm inner compartment may be adjacent to an opposite end of the back inner compartment. The bottom seat compartment may be disposed below at least the back, left arm, and right arm inner compartments. The assembled furniture is easily compressible and highly transportable.

A sofa (10) includes a sofa base (13) and an addition (14) coupled to the sofa base. The sofa base has a seating area (18) between two end armrests (19) which includes spacing for back cushions (20), seat cushions (21), and an empty seating space (22). The addition has an L-shaped addition base (24) and a U-shaped addition cushion (25). The addition base has an inside corner (28) configured to nest the front corner of the sofa base. The U-shaped addition cushion is positioned upon the L-shaped addition base and a portion of the base seating area which could be occupied by a seat seating space. Thus, the addition cushion completely covers the addition base and the empty seating space or portion of the seating area directly adjacent the armrest which is surrounded by the addition cushion on three sides.

A sofa with an upholstered arm panel has an arm frame with a layered composition comprising an underlayment material layer, a fiber material layer positioned on top of and contacting the underlayment material layer, and a covering upholstery material layer positioned on top of and contacting the fiber material layer. The underlayment material layer is comprised a planar sheet of Ethylene-vinyl acetate closed cell foam. The EVA foam extends forwardly on the arm frame to create a forward extending lip. The use of EVA foam reduces the number of structural and cushioning materials, fasteners, and labor currently required in arm panel construction.
