Direct Answer
Before ordering samples, ask a compressed sofa supplier about MOQ, lead time, foam density, recovery timing, fabric options, carton size, loading quantity, OEM branding, inspection process, and whether the sample will use the same materials planned for bulk production. The best suppliers answer with specific data instead of vague promises.
10 Questions Buyers Should Ask
- Are you the factory or a trading company?
- What is the standard MOQ by model/color?
- What foam and frame specifications are used?
- How long does the sofa need to recover after unpacking?
- What are the packed carton dimensions and CBM?
- How many sets fit in a 40HQ container?
- Can you support private label carton and manual printing?
- What is the sample lead time?
- What inspection is done before shipment?
- Can the sample match bulk production materials?
How to Judge the Answer
A serious supplier should be able to explain trade-offs. For example, softer foam may feel comfortable but may require stronger recovery control; smaller cartons may save freight but can increase packaging stress. Good answers show manufacturing judgment, not just sales language.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should the sample use the same material as bulk production?
Yes. If the sample uses different foam, fabric, or packaging, the buyer cannot accurately judge the bulk order result.
What is a warning sign before ordering samples?
A warning sign is when the supplier cannot provide carton size, recovery timing, MOQ, or a clear production process.
Can compressed sofa samples be customized?
Yes, but sample customization depends on fabric availability, structure changes, branding requirements, and development workload.
