Many of us have noted that our couches and other upholstered are either smooth and seamless or have buttons added to them. When couches were first coming about they were little more than large cushions stuffed with things like hay, cotton or clothes. As designs and decorating progressed furniture makers found ways to make items for durable.
When furniture has buttons added to it the process is called button-tufting. A tuft is a depression interval that occurs in a pattern on fabrics while making items. On furniture, this depression frequently has buttons added to it. The button is either hairpin-like or just sewn into the section. The functional use of tufting is to keep furniture stuffing in place and prevent it from slipping and shifting.
Tufting allows your furniture to have an extended life time without becoming misshapen. Tufting is also decorative and elegant. For this reason, it is frequently added to furniture that doesn’t require it. With today’s modern furniture there are easier and faster ways to protect furniture stuffing.
Button-tufted and general tufted furniture require a little extra cleaning. Crumbs, dust and dirt usually accumulate in these depressions in the furniture. When vacuuming or being steam cleaned you have to be mindful of the buttons so they don’t get loose or accidentally removed.
