The noviclass® Chaffar pet sofa delivers what the manufacturer promises in practical testing. The foam mattress offers noticeable comfort and adapts well to the animal’s body – ideal for older pets or animals with joint problems. Even after several days of use, the mattress remains stable and comfortable, with no visible dents or deformations. The corduroy plush cover feels pleasantly soft and was immediately accepted by our animal testers. In everyday use, the sofa proves to be easy to care for and suitable for everyday use – animal hair can be easily vacuumed off and minor stains removed with a damp cloth. The removable cover is particularly practical and can be washed without any problems. The only minor criticism is the lack of a non-slip underside, which means that the sofa can slip easily on smooth floors. Visually, the sofa blends harmoniously into a wide variety of living spaces thanks to its modern, unobtrusive design. Overall, the Chaffar impresses with its comfort, style, and well-thought-out everyday practicality.
