Customized Contemporary Sofas, Loveseats and Chairs by Comfy 1 (formerly Creative Comfort Co.)

 

The owner of Comfy 1, Don Meulenberg, reluctantly announces suspension of accepting new orders for furniture, to be effective at least until February of 2024. Warranties will continue to be honored on furniture that we have sold.

 

For several years I have been doing health-related research and writing, along with Comfy 1 work, and it has been tiring doing both. I have become convinced that I can make a much greater contribution by concentrating, for now, on the health-related research and writing. Anyone who is curious about the nature of that pursuit, and especially anyone who knows parents who might be breastfeeding their infants or planning to do so, is encouraged to visit www.pollutionaction.org.

 

I hope that I will have completed enough of the time-consuming Pollution Action projects by 2024 so that I can resume accepting a few orders for Comfy 1 furniture, but that is hard to predict. However, there will be a transition from the former setup -- one of a small factory producing in a semi-mass-production mode -- to a much-smaller-scale operation consisting of only one or two people working part-time, making one or two products at a time. (The former arrangement didn't work out financially in recent years, with prices of Chinese imports forming the picture of what most people are willing to pay.) So costs will inevitably be higher, and prices will be about 70% higher than the prices shown on the pages of this website. (25%-35% higher for replacement cushions)  Also, when I resume, I will avoid something that was often a headache in the past, which is staining the wood (achieving the uniformity and grain-matching that many customers expect was the problem). Painted finish (any color) or unfinished will be the only options.

 

It is likely that there will be more prospective customers than I am able to accommodate, so (except for cushion-only orders) my first preference will be customers who are either

  a) within a 3-hour drive from the town of Shenandoah, VA, which is about 2 hours west-south-west of the Washington beltway.  (I prefer to drive to deliver rather than spending a lot of time doing fussy packing for shipment.) 

  b) able to pick up their orders here in Shenandoah.  Our sofas can be disassembled to fit inside many average-size cars, although the backs of the Custom 05 model sofas may be too bulky for an average car.

 

Anybody who is seriously interested in Comfy 1 furniture -- and who might still be interested later -- is encouraged to check back on this website (www.comfy1.com) in February of 2024 or later. If you would like to be on our list of people to be notified when we resume accepting orders, please send email to info@comfy1.com.

 

When we do resume operation, payment will need to be by check  – with the fixed payment processing costs regardless of volume, it’s too expensive for a low-volume operation to accept payment by credit or debit card.  Personal checks are welcome

contemporary, clean-lined, non-bulky wood-frame sofaWe make sofas, loveseats, chairs and custom sectional couches that are comfortable, durable, space-saving, and almost always a perfect fit for your room. This seating is ideal for any living room, family room or other room where durable, practical sofas and chairs are needed, especially where furniture is exposed to sometimes destructive use, including by pets.

Each couch or chair is firm, medium firm or soft according to customer choice. They are easy to slipcover or re-cover, with optional exposed-wood sofa frames that are nearly indestructible. We offer very long sofas, very small (short) ones, and many sizes in between, as well as narrow, medium and oversize (wide) chairs, and also extra-high sofas and chairs. Our high sitting options are especially popular with our older customers and others with difficulty getting up. But we also offer low backs and low seats if that is better for your limited space or smaller body dimensions.

small customized contemporary sofaWe specialize in exposed-wood sofas and chairs, but we also offer a fully-upholstered design. All models are available with our full range of custom sizes, heights, lengths, less-deep dimensions, and outstanding selection of beautiful, durable fabrics, hundreds of which are also stain resistant and liquid repellant.

Every upholstered or wood sofa, loveseat or chair has the simplicity of design of contemporary style; however, especially with darker wood colors and our unlimited fabric selection, these sofas and chairs can also blend well with traditional or other decors.

Non-bulky, exposed-wood-frame contemporary sofa and chairNon-bulky sofas & chairs made to fit
Our loveseats, chairs and sofas are non-bulky, compact and well suited for small and medium-sized spaces (unless you choose our large-scaled options). We make every design in your choice of many lengths, and our standard frame depth is only about 33" (30" deep is an option). This narrower-than-average, relatively small-scale sofa depth is still comfortable for most tall people (as well as for shorter people).

All of our furniture is made in America, which is increasingly uncommon; and that is only one of many features that contribute to the eco-friendly nature of our products compared with furniture that is imported (along with shipping pollution) from the other side of the world.

For sizes and prices: Each of the next seven links below takes you to a page describing the particular model pictured. When getting near the end of each of those linked pages, you'll see a paragraph that shows sizes and prices. (For sectional sofas, illustrative prices are noted in the running text.)

 

FOG ALERT! Our products contain many quality features (regarding durability, ease of re-covering, hygiene, etc.) and are made with a variety of options (many standard and custom dimensions, choice of firmness, adaptations for those with special needs, etc.), which are described below in more detail than many people want to read. If such matters are not of special interest to you, you may prefer to go to an abbreviated form of this page, by clicking here

Custom-size contemporary sofas and loveseat, in great fabric selectionOur Custom 05 contemporary sofa model comes with our very wide range of custom options along with heavy-duty hardwood frame construction, high-quality cushioning, and relative ease of replacing the fabric covers. The custom options provide personalized comfort, optimum use of your space, and beautiful addition to your decor that can't be obtained with mass-market furniture.

The quality construction and materials, along with economy of re-covering, provide long-term value as well as environmental benefits that aren't available at normal stores. You won't need to order our small or less-deep (narrow) sofa dimensions in order to allow access via a narrow entry, since these couches arrive in the form of relatively flat components which are then easy to assemble. Click on this link to see more pictures, features, sizes and prices of these upholstered contemporary Custom 05 sofas and chairs.

Wood-frame, heavy duty contempoary sofaWood-Frame Sofa and Chair Models:

Ease of re-covering, combined with extra-sturdy, solid-hardwood structure, means that this furniture is especially renewable, sustainable, very cleanable (with hundreds of our fabrics), and economical in the long run. Each couch, loveseat or chair is made to order in your choice of thousands of fabrics (or provide your own), and many optional and custom dimensions are available. Also, every wood sofa or chair can be ordered in your choice of many wood stains that produce a mild grain effect. The structurally important parts of the exposed wood as well as the interior structure of every sofa are solid oak wood.

mission style comfortable wood-arm sofa 

The "padded arm wrap" that you see on the left is (1) optional, (2) removable, and (3) easy to re-cover. It is available on any exposed-wood model except the Virginia model. Note that it can be positioned either to completely cover the wood arm top or else to leave enough of the wood exposed at the front to provide a secure hand grip on the wood. (see below, right)

Non-bulky, comfortable sofas for sunroom or sunny room

Our furniture is especially well suited for sunrooms or sunny rooms, since most of our designs are more open and airy and less bulky than typical furniture. The fact that we can make these sofas, loveseats and chairs in a very wide range of different sizes helps assure that the best use can be made of the often-limited space in sun rooms. We have an excellent selection of sun-resistant fabrics, and even if you choose a fabric that isn't especially sun-resistant, ease of replacing the covers can be very helpful in dealing with sun damage. Our furniture is also normally more substantial (and less ordinary) than the typical wicker furniture. Click on this link to see our furniture in sun rooms.

For sizes and prices: Each of the first five links above (after the first one) takes you to a page describing the particular model pictured. When getting near the end of each of those linked pages, you'll see a paragraph that shows sizes and prices. (For sectional sofas, illustrative prices are noted in the running text.)

.

We also offer two higher-priced exposed-wood designs that we don't show pictures of here because they are so expensive to make that, when we show them, many people like them but then go to another company because of the prices of those models. So we hesitate to show those designs. But if you want just the right look, in exclusive, handcrafted designs, and if you're prepared for prices that are high compared with our other models: click here,

.

We also make matching ottomans, fully upholstered as well as with exposed-wood legs, and matching coffee tables and end tables, in many standard sizes as well as in custom sizes.

 

Any of the above wood stains, plus three others, are available on any sofa, loveseat or chair model or matching table or ottoman. Our stains are carefully applied and provide better-than-average (but still imperfect) uniformity of color. And the exposed wood surfaces will be free of dark streaks and noticeable defects. The wood grain as shown on our furniture is milder than is typically seen on oak, but still very visible. We also can paint the wood any color to order, using thinned enamel (allowing good penetration as well as some visibility of the texture of the oak grain), with two coats of polyurethane on top of the enamel. To see our complete range of wood stains and their names, click here,

FABRICS as well as faux leather and (possibly) real leather:
We offer heavy-duty fabrics in almost any color and in many patterns, as well as a huge selection of all kinds of fabrics, with swatches available on request- - (but your request must be specific). Our selection is probably wider than you can find from any other company, especially if you include the fabrics that you can see in our suppliers' web sites, and if you consider the fact that you can provide your own fabric. For more details, click here.

But any of our sofa, chair and loveseat models and sizes can be made with the seats and whole frames higher than normal, for the long-legged or for those with difficulty getting up. Click on the following link for more information about high sofas, loveseats and chairs.

 

We also offer less-deep (shorter front to back) sofas and chairs, for the short legged or for the space-challenged. Click on the following link for information about less-deep sofas, loveseats and chairs.

 

For sizes and prices: Each of the five links closest to the top of this page (after the first one) takes you to a page describing the particular model pictured. When getting near the end of each of those linked pages, you'll see a section that shows sizes and prices. (For sectional sofas, illustrative prices are noted in the running text.)

 

All of our furniture is unusually durable and practical, with heavy-duty construction that permits decades of heavy use. For details about our extremely durable construction Click here. For information about economical replacement covers and cushions for furniture made by us, go to www. comfy1.com/replacement.htm

 

Long-term economy resulting from outstanding durability and renewability: This results from nearly-indestructible construction combined with ease of replacing covers and cushions. Neatly-fitting replacement covers for one of our three-seat exposed-wood sofas (sorry, they don't fit other companies' sofas) are $210-$248, complete, in one of our base-priced fabrics, or in a range between those prices and up to $400 in a huge selection of fabrics (obviously, some fabrics are higher). If you know how much it costs to re-cover or reupholster ordinary sofas, and how often that would be needed in many cases, you can appreciate the long-term savings with this furniture. Replacement covers for our fully-upholstered sofa models would be higher than for our wooden-frame sofas, but still far less than neatly-fitting covers would cost for typical furniture. To read comments from many of our customers who have written us and purchased replacement covers and cushions after two and three decades of use, click here.

After 28 years with this earlier version of our California model (on the right), our Massachusetts customers purchased replacement cushions. Their updated fabric, a microsuede, was a perfect complement to their surrounding decor, which is easy to achieve with our huge fabric selection. The customer, when e-mailing us this nice picture, said that we exceeded her expectations.

Providing great-looking replacement covers and cushions to our earlier customers after 25 to 30 years or more, to go on frames that are still essentially like new, is not at all unusual for us.

If you like to keep up with evolving color preferences, or to modify your decor to create a fresh look once in a while, or to express yourself artistically in your decor, keep in mind that with our furniture you can change the covers at very moderate expense.

And, with our huge fabric selection, you'll almost certainly be able to find just the right patterns and colors to go with the other elements of your decor. Several of our customers have mentioned that we offer an unusually great selection of beautiful fabrics, in contrast with the relatively meager selections that they had previously found while looking extensively for furniture in a major metropolitan area. See the "Fabrics" paragraph and link farther down this page, for more information about fabric possibilities.

All of our cushions are zippered, the arm treatments are similarly easy to re-cover (including by way of hook-and-loop fastenings), and all cushions can be turned and rotated to maximize presentable, useful life.

 

striiped, compact, pet-practical sofas and loveseatsOur "Pet-Safer Sofa"(R) has features that make it especially pet friendly, as shown here, including (1) an exposed-oak frame in our Florida model (although similar practicality would also be available in our California or New Jersey models, at higher prices) and (2) no padded arm wraps (although people sometimes order the padded arm wraps and just remove them at times when the pets might damage them). If the furniture could be located away from a wall, people also usually order (3) the all-wood back option. And customers typically also order a fabric that's smooth if they have cats, or possibly one that's especially stain resistant and durable (such as the Crypton (R) fabric shown here) if they have dogs.

Also, the fact that the fabric-covered parts can be economically re-covered makes all of our furniture pet friendly.

For more details about the practicality of our furniture with pets, click here.

 

heavy-duty liquid repellant sofas, loveseats and chairsOur sofas, loveseats and chairs are suitable for almost any hard use, while still being inviting, comfortable, and good looking. It's effectively contract furniture that looks and feels better than typical contract furniture. Whether in a nicely-furnished fraternity house, or a well-used waiting room, or the TV room of a fire and rescue station, or a care facility where hygiene is important, your people will be comfortable on furniture that lasts. To see pictures of our furniture that's in use by many organizations where it gets hard wear and tear, click here.

Heavy sitters: If any intended users are over 350 pounds, our furniture is up to the challenge, but we recommend reinforcement, for a moderate additional charge. For details, go the link just above and scroll down to "Special needs."

Comfortable, non-sagging support: Our standard cushion filling is medium firm; firmer or softer cushioning and support is optional. Our medium-firm or firmer support options are especially appreciated by people (including elderly and handicapped) who like good support, who have back pain, who are unusually heavy, or who have difficulty getting up from ordinary furniture.

This is green (sustainable, environmentally-responsible) furniture: Buying our eco-friendly sofas and couches, by reducing pollution, waste of non-renewable resources, and unnecessary energy consumption and emissions of greenhouse gases compared with alternatives, is a very earth-friendly way to furnish your home. For details, click here.

sofas, loveseats and chairs for elderly, easy to get up from 

Most of our couches, loveseats and chairs are ideal for senior citizens, for the handicapped or those with special needs, for elder-care facilities, and for almost anyone who has difficulty getting up from sofas and chairs. Click here for more information about sofas and chairs for the elderly or handicapped and for those with difficulty getting up.

 

Solid oak where strength is important: Our sofas, loveseats, chairs, and ottomans are solid oak at all structurally-important places:  all corner posts, the complete front rails, and all of the wood in the backs of the frames if the customer chooses the standard fabric-covered or faux-leather-covered back of the frame; for all-wood backs, the top section (3” high x 1 1/2” thick) is solid, and the corner blocks and supporting members at the inside bottom are solid, but the large (16”-high) main panels are 3/4” oak-veneer plywood.  Similarly, on the Florida and California sides, the flat panels that fill in the space between the front and back posts are oak veneer plywood.  Everything else that is exposed or structurally important (including all exposed wood on the Virginia-model sides) is solid oak.

 

When looking at competing furniture in stores and online, you should be aware that most upholstered furniture you'll find these days is made in China, even though that will not be openly acknowledged. There are good reasons why they don't want to admit it, and good reasons why you should know about it. The furniture manufacturer that describes itself as the biggest-selling brand in North America (Ashley) has most of its furniture made in China, although they are not forthcoming about that fact. If you go into a store selling inexpensive (but nice-looking) sofas, and ask a knowledgeable person who is not on his guard, he or she might acknowledge that it's made in China. For why you should want to know this fact, read on:

American manufacturers, including Comfy 1, are subject to laws and regulations that protect the environment and promote consumer safety and worker welfare, while also adding substantially to costs of American-made goods. And there are tremendous costs of imports that are not being paid by importers or their customers, in the form ot tens of thousands of deaths per year resulting from shipping pollution (for information on this, click here). Additional major costs are merely being passed on to future generations: These are the costs to the environment and to the future of the world caused by excessive use of petroleum and by carbon emissions and other pollution resulting from shipping bulky sofas half-way around the world to the U.S. Also, if you buy a sofa made on the other side of the world, think what kind of service you'll be able to get on it if there's a problem after you've paid for it.

take-apart, disassemble-able sofas that can fit through any passageEntry into almost any room: Do you have a room that could make an ideal den or other living quarters if only you could get a sofa through the narrow door or stairway? You need look no further for the solution to that problem. All of our models are easy to disassemble for moving, as well as to re-assemble. Even one of our large sectionals can be gotten through essentially any entry, including into rooms accessible only by narrow stairways or around tight corners. They are shipped or delivered to you in the form of components, which we assemble if we deliver them. For more on this subject, click here.

wood-frame living room sofas, practical with pets

Any of our exposed-wood models can be made with an all-wood back, at an additional charge (except that in one of our two types of sectional sofas, we do not offer an all-wood back in the 32" square corner unit ). The all-wood backs, as well as the all-wood arms and front rails of three of our models, are especially popular with our customers who own cats.

 

For sizes and prices: Each of the first five links closest to the top of the page (after the first one) takes you to a page describing the particular model pictured. When getting near the end of each of those linked pages, you'll see a paragraph that shows sizes and prices. (For sectional sofas, illustrative prices are noted in the running text.)

This furniture is very durable and practical for families with children. Click here for details.

Cleanable, hygienic, relatively non-allergenic, high-water-resistant features: For details, click here.

Our furniture is better suited for use by the handicapped than most furniture on the market, since (1) it's firmer than average and easier to get up from than typical sofas and chairs, (2) it's almost indestructible, with most models guaranteed for ten years with no weight limitations (as long as you inform us of intended occupants over 400 pounds), and with easy-to-replace covers and cushions, (3) we offer a wide selection of liquid-repellant and stain-resistant fabrics, and what's below the cushions is also easy to keep clean, and (4) we offer many custom dimensions that make our seats still easier to get up from than those in our standard dimensions, including special heights, firmer cushioning, and less-deep seats.

For some details about our cushion filling, comfort options, and excellent suitability for reclining and sleeping on, click here.

Relatively fire resistant, compared with typical upholstered furniture, is a valid description of most of our sofas and couches. Click here for information about this.

Heating/air conditioning efficiency: If you have a heat/air conditioning source located behind or below where a sofa will be located, you should compare our exposed-wood sofa frame designs, open at the bottom 5 - 6", with those of normal sofas. The more efficient passage of warm or cool air will be obvious.

For pricing, see the links high on this page to sections that deal with individual designs.

Sofas and chairs suited for big or tall people are an important part of what we offer. For more information on that click here.

Our non-bulky, small scale sofa and couch dimensions and options are what fill the needs of many people. There is information about sizes at various places in this web site, but to see several examples of our furniture made as small sofas or sectionals, click here.

A sample seat is available that we can send to you to try sitting on, if it isn't convenient for you to come to our showroom, and if it's important to you to test how our furniture feels to sit on. The customer pays $40 toward the cost of shipping it to them in the Eastern and Central time zones, or $80 in the Mountain and Western time zones, which will be credited toward the cost of an order; and we pay for the return shipment. It would normally come by Fedex ground. It will feel the same to sit on as our regular sofas and chairs with the wood base below the seat, although it won't look normal. And we can include some riser blocks to raise it up, and/or a sample of a firmer seat ($30 additional shipping charge to send a second seat cushion), so you can feel what it would be like if we made a sofa higher or firmer than standard. It won't look good, but that is compatible with our expectation that you will return it to us within a few days. To see what this sample seat will be like, click here

ottoman foot stools custom size, any fabricOttomans: We also offer matching ottomans. One of our custom-size ottomans can also serve as a table or as a chaise longue , while allowing more flexibility of room layout than would be possible with a fixed chaise.

Warranties: Our furniture is covered by warranties that are far superior to what you will find from almost all other furniture suppliers. We offer a ten-day money-back satisfaction guarantee on our products , and beyond that a ten-year structural warranty and a ten-year supporting-quality warranty on cushion filling apply. Full statements of our guarantees are in our printed product literature, available on request, and are also on this web site. To read them, click here.

Q: Do you offer sleep sofas, recliners, or tables?
A:
No. In order to be able to operate reasonably efficiently and insure high quality, we have to specialize in the product line that you see shown in these pages.

Q: Do you offer down/feather-filled cushions?
A: No, for very good reasons. To read these reasons and to read also about our cushioning options, including "puffy" cushions (if you haven't already read that section),

Q: If it isn't convenient for me to come to your showroom, how can I tell how it feels to sit on your furniture?
A: By means of a sample seat that we can send you, at no cost to you. See "sample seat" just above the "Fabrics" paragraph, 9" - 12" higher up on this page.

Q: Do you offer storage options under your sofas?
A:
Yes. For details, click here.

We specialize, in order to assure high quality and reasonable production efficiency. Therefore
We don't offer: (1) sleep sofas, (2) slip covers or cushions for furniture that we haven't manufactured, or (3) anything other than sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, and small tables.

Since customers sometimes have a very hard time finding us a second time: If you like what you see on this web site, please bookmark it or write down our web address (www.comfy1.com) and a few words to remind you of what we are, and file it for future reference (stuck to the refrigerator door often works well). Or File/Save this page as a file to your desktop or other page where you can find it again.

 

 

Our furniture can be ordered directly from where it is made, without a middleman's markup. In addition to those who order by phone or e-mail (after requesting fabric and wood samples), customers are welcome to come (by appointment) to our Virginia workshop/showroom, 30 minutes off the scenic, major north-south artery, I-81, and two hours to the west-southwest of the Washington beltway. If you are outside our normal 3-4 hour direct-delivery range, be aware that we ship to anywhere in the U.S., at moderate cost (our furniture is well adapted for shipping, being easy to disassemble and re-assemble). Regardless of whether you order from afar or at our showroom, bear in mind our satisfaction guarantee (see above).

For our company history, click here.

We invite you to check us and our competitors out by doing the following:
-- 1) Inquire at the Better Business Bureau where the company is located. From 1998 to 2003 we were within the area of the BBB of Eastern Tennessee. Since then we have been within the area of the BBB of Central Virginia. They won't have any information to report about us because (a) there have been no complaints about us, and (b) we haven't seen fit to pay their expensive dues in order to get them to create an actual report about us (they said they would give us their highest rating if we would just send them a check for $400 every year);
-- 2) Check for warnings from dissatisfied parties (and sometimes kudos) that can often be found by doing a web search using (for your search terms) the company's name followed by "furniture," then bypass the websites issued by that company. There are also websites to which you can go directly to find records of complaints. Admittedly, while telling you this we are aware of only one unfavorable comment about us (on Yelp.com, from an elderly man who had unreasonably high expectations about appearances over the long term in parts of our furniture that are not exposed to normal view -- see our response to his complaint); we're very confident that we will keep such an essentially perfect record.

If you're considering a purchase from one of our competitors, you owe it to yourself to consider some of the points mentioned in www.comfy1.com/competitors.htm

In addition to those who order by phone or e-mail, with moderate delivery or shipping charges to anywhere in the U.S., customers are welcome (by appointment) to come to our showroom at our combined workshop and sales location in the town of Shenandoah, Virginia, about 30 minutes east of I-81 and Harrisonburg, Virginia and 30 minutes south of Luray (and the famous Luray Caverns), in Virginia. Please don't come without first calling.

For more information (including printed): Call 1-800-659-0436, or we can mail you free literature showing prices, sizes, fabric selection procedures, how to order, and other information if you call; or else click on the link below to send e-mail; but we have heard of several cases of e-mail not getting to its intended recipient, so check your e-mail for the next day or two to make sure you receive an acknowledgement from us. We have supplements to our literature packet that we can send if you express special concerns, including about pet practicality, custom dimensions, special adaptations for handicapped, and suitability for heavy use. To send e-mail, send to us at info@comfy1.com .

Placing an order, receiving it, and payment: We require only a 10% deposit with orders. For details: click here.

Privacy Policy/Future Mailings: We never divulge to other parties the names or addresses of any people who have inquired, requested our literature or purchased from us. We don't ordinarily send additional mailings to people who have requested our literature unless they request it again, or unless they purchase from us.

Comfy 1, where all the frames are strong, all the fabrics are good looking, and all the cushions are above average.
