      <title>The biggest sofa in footy</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Last autumn one company took the concept of debating the hot issues from the comfort of the sofa to new heights. Football fans gearing up to enjoy this year’s World Cup on their sofas had the first chance to try out the biggest sofa in footy as Betfair's Front Room campaign kicked off. The 10 metre by four-and-a half-metre (33 foot by 15 foot) structure - weighing over a tonne - took a team of designers, engineers and fabricators two weeks to construct and includes over 2,500 nuts, bolts and staples. ]]></description>

      <title>The training behind sofa manufacturing</title>
      <description><![CDATA[The Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers (AMUSF) was founded in 1947 to protect the interests of upholsterers, small furniture makers, and soft furnishers. Today the Association runs training courses at Approved Training Centres around the country. Most AMUSF members come under the categories of either upholsterers or soft furnishers.

      <title>Do we still have a love affair with sofas?</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Some years ago a leading mass production furniture company offered £325 sofas for £49. Apparently 20 people were hospitalised when the scrum to get one turned violent. Does this suggest we have a love affair with the sofa or just a keen eye for a Bank Holiday bargain? In 2005 the Daily Telegraph asked its readers whether they were likely to be seduced by bank holiday TV sofa advertisements. ]]></description>

      <title>On Cloud Nine with this sofa</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Earlier this year a designer came up with a stunning concept: the floating sofa. Here’s the science behind this remarkable idea... “Cloud is a sofa concept designed for ultra comfort and relaxation. The soft floating upper part is supported by the magnetic force generated by the bottom base. No matter if you want to work and sit with comfort or simply a power nap to release the stress, you can always enjoy your time to relax on the floating cloud.” ]]></description>

      <title>Watching the World Cup from the comfort of your sofa</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Anyone of an advanced age will probably be looking forward to the World Cup Finals with a mixture of anticipation and dread. Anticipation because the event is a truly global experience, and dread because the country goes nuts for a month or as long as England stay in the competition. Soon it won’t be long before you can’t move for St George flags, banners and hats, articles all headlined “This is our year” (for examples see 2006, 2002, 1998 etc etc), and TV programmes setting the scene for a frenzied few weeks. ]]></description>

      <title>Sofas in the headlines</title>
      <description><![CDATA[“How much would any reasonable person pay for a sofa?” That was the question posed by Kirsty Mcallister in an EzineArticles.com  piece from 13th October 2009. Headlined “The Crazy Amount of Money People Pay For Sofas”, the article started out with a perfectly reasonable point. Quality, style and comfort don’t come cheap and most people are prepared to open their wallets once they find what they want. ]]></description>
