Sheesham vs sagwan sofa at a glance

• Sheesham: dense Indian rosewood with a bold grain. It looks rich on designs where the wood shows.

• Sagwan (teak): a hardwood with natural oils, valued for staying steady through humid and dry seasons.

• On our site: one 3 seater lists a sheesham structure; the rest list a sagwan solid wood structure.

• Inside or outside: in a fully upholstered sofa the frame is hidden, so stability matters more than grain.

When sheesham makes sense

Choose a sheesham sofa if you want the wood to be part of the look, with warm grain on the arms or base. Our sheesham vs teak vs mango wood guide compares the woods across furniture.

When sagwan makes sense

Choose a sagwan frame if you want a fully upholstered sofa, like a Chesterfield, and care most about a steady frame inside. Most of our 3 seaters list a sagwan solid wood structure under 280 gsm fabric and 40 density Sleepwell foam.

How to check the wood

1. Read the material line in the product specifications.

2. Ask for close-up photos of the frame or visit the showroom.

3. Check the polish and joinery on any exposed wood.
