Instructions
General
We want to make sure your lounge reaches you in the best possible condition, so we package it well. During the journey to your home, a few crush marks may appear on your lounge, but please don’t worry – these will soon naturally work their way out.
Your new Linea Domo lounge may feel or look different to the one you saw in the store. For example, the seat may feel firmer, or the leather may look tighter. That’s because your furniture is brand new, unlike the store’s floor sample which may have been worn over time.
What to expect
A fine lounge suite or chair doesn’t wear out; it wears in. Your new Linea Domo furniture will relax into a more casual appearance over time. When pressure is applied to the polyurethane foam for the first time, the microcells within the foam structure break, which creates a slight softening effect. This natural cellular breakdown is expected. It also means that comfort creases and wrinkles will form naturally in the leather during the first few weeks of use. These characteristics give the furniture a soft, inviting look – an inherent feature of the best leather upholstery.
The beauty of genuine leather
Your Linea Domo lounge features unique, handmade signatures. Just as no two fingerprints are alike, each piece of leather is distinctive in its markings. This adds beauty to the leather and serves as proof of its authenticity.
Leather is a natural material, and every hide has unique characteristics. Our furniture is made from many hides, so the leather may show slight variations in colour and grain. This is natural.
Age adds character and reflects how leather furniture has been used during its lifetime. Over the years, leather adapts to the user and develops a unique look. With regular use, the leather fibres relax. You can expect comfort creases to form in the areas that receive the most body contact, such as the seat and back cushions.
Villa and premium leather ranges
These are corrected grain leather made from quality top-grain cowhides. They may have shown marks, scars, insect bites, nicks etc. which are natural characteristics of genuine leather.
The impact of these irregularities is reduced by lightly buffing and pigmentation. Then a uniform grain pattern is embossed to restore a beautiful, even look. These ranges are perfect for everyday living and require less maintenance.
Scotland leather
Scotland leather is semi-aniline leather made from high-quality cowhides. The top is slightly treated and then finished with wax protection. This range is soft and supple to the touch and will develop a distressed look and patina with use. This style is for people who prefer a vintage and natural leather look.
Due to its unique characteristics, this leather requires a little more maintenance. To help extend the life of this beautiful product, it should be lightly cleaned with a dry, clean cloth on a regular basis.
When moving your sofa, do not lift it by the cushions sewn to the frame or drag it around. The best way to move it is to lift it from the base.
If you have pets, please be careful with them around your lounge. Pets can damage your lounge through chew marks, claws and oil residue from their fur, all of which are not covered by our warranty terms.
As tempting as they may be, armrests and backrests are not designed as seating.
Your leather and fabric furniture should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this may result in colour fading.
You can protect your furniture by drawing curtains when the sun is particularly bright. It is also best to avoid placing hot cups or plates on the sofa as this can cause damage to the finished leather or fabric.
During the first three months, foam padding will become softer. Light creases may form on the cover following this. This is to be considered normal wear.
To keep your sofa looking its best, you should plump and shape it regularly to ensure padding and upholstery return to their initial appearance.
Your sofa should be placed at least two metres from any heat source.
For even wear, you should alternate your choice of seat. All seating foams are designed to absorb the seated weight loads in the centre of the cushion; sitting or lying on the edges and sides of the cushion can cause the breakdown of the foams, causing them to flatten and lose their density, firmness and form.
A regular routine of protection and cleaning will not only help protect your furniture from stains and damage, but it will also add years to its life.
Some types of soiling only affect the way your furniture looks; others can actually damage the leather. Dust and perspiration are both particularly damaging. Dust is abrasive: it acts like sandpaper. Over time dust can cause serious damage to the furniture’s topcoat. It is important to prevent perspiration and body oils from building up.
Particular care needs to be taken if you regularly take medications, as they can increase the damage caused by perspiration and body oils.
Additional care tips for vintage leather
Besides the above General Leather Care Tips, Scotland Leather with a wax finish will occasionally need to be revitalised if your furniture is starting to look scratched, scuffed or faded, then it is time to revitalise.
Sharp items can easily scratch the surface of the leather; this will add to the distressed appearance yet can be reduced by the application of a speciality revitalising cream.
Your Harvey Norman Sales Team Member can advise the correct products to maintain your purchase.
As a natural product, good quality leather will have different markings. This is a guarantee of being genuine and what makes your furniture unique. Some other examples of the characteristics you can expect to see with leather upholstery are:
Vein Lines
Grain Variation
Colour Variation
Skin Blemishes
Stretching
Horn butts, scrapes & scars
Fat Wrinkles
This is a desired effect. Oiled and waxed leather may have a patina after a short period of use.
Vacuum regularly with an upholstery attachment using low suction.
Spot clean where necessary.
Treat spills and stains as soon as possible. Gently remove any soil or mop any liquid from the fabric’s surface. Do not saturate the fabric or filling with water or any other cleaning fluids. Seek professional advice from a fabric cleaning specialist.
Pilling occasionally occurs due to normal daily wear and should not be considered a fault. It can be easily removed with a battery-operated pilling tool from most haberdashery stores.
A note on your fabric warranty
Our fabric warranties do not apply where there is evidence of excessive soiling, improper cleaning, or abuse or where the leather/fabric has had a chemical treatment applied by the retail dealer or consumer which has not previously been approved in writing by Linea Domo. Please do not move furniture by pulling on leather or fabric.
Medications: If leather furniture is used constantly
by individuals on some medications (including, but not limited to, chemotherapy,
blood pressure and heart medications), extra care should be taken to protect leather surfaces from direct skin contact as the chemistry in these medications may react with and damage the leather finish. Headrest covers and arm protectors are advisable.
We use one of the best reclining mechanisms available. Proper use of this mechanism will provide lasting comfort.
Lounges and chairs with reclining mechanisms give you the choice of changing the inclination of the back, positioning of the legs and changing the seating position. It is important to point out that where recliners are provided in a lounge, it is normal to see gaps as these gaps allow free movement and avoid excessive abrasion.

When sitting on a recliner, you must be aware that the arms are anchored at the base of the recliner, and any leaning or sitting sideways across the recliner arms can put pressure on the anchor points and cause buckling of the frame or mechanism. Damage to the frame caused in this nature is not covered under the Linea Domo warranty.
