Majlis Sofa Dubai — Traditional Arabic Seating, Built Modern

A majlis is more than a sofa. It’s where guests are welcomed, family gathers, and the day’s conversations unfold. It needs to sit correctly for Arabic hospitality — low to the ground, continuous along the wall, comfortable for long gatherings — but it also needs to be comfortable by modern standards. Hard cushions and thin foam might have been acceptable a generation ago. They’re not today.

We build custom majlis sofas in Dubai that honour the traditional profile while adding modern comfort layers. Every piece is measured to your wall, built in our Al Quoz workshop, and delivered with white-glove setup.

Free home visit to measure your majlis wall. Typical build time 3–4 weeks. Free delivery and setup across Dubai.

Traditional vs Modern Majlis — We Build Both

Traditional floor majlis sits low, with continuous seat runs along the walls and firm mutakkah bolsters for back support. Guests sit on the floor level with legs tucked or extended. This is the classic layout for formal hospitality in villas.

Modern sofa-height majlis maintains the face-to-face layout but raises the seating to sofa height (typically 40–45cm). Easier to get up from, more supportive for extended sitting, and better suited to older guests or larger gatherings.

Hybrid majlis combines both — raised wall seating on two or three sides, with floor-level centre cushions for additional seating during peak use.

We build all three, sized to your exact wall run.

What’s Included in a Custom Majlis

  • Frame built to your wall length — solid wood base, glued and secured. No softwood or chipboard.
  • HR foam seating — 38–42 kg/m³ high-resilience foam with a soft fibre top layer for comfort without sacrificing support.
  • Backrest bolsters (mutakkah) — firm filling, matching fabric, sized to your seating height.
  • Corner units — custom-angled to fit your room’s corners. Not a bolted-on standard corner.
  • Traditional detailing — tassel fringe, gold or brass trim, contrast piping, embroidered accents.
  • Optional storage — hinged seat sections for storing extra cushions, blankets, or table settings.

Fabrics for Majlis Sofas

Your fabric choice determines how your majlis looks and how it survives daily use. We offer:

  • Velvet — the classic choice. Rich, deep colour. Performance velvets resist crushing in high-use areas.
  • Jacquard — woven geometric or arabesque patterns built into the fabric. More durable than velvet, ideal for family majlis.
  • Brocade — formal, opulent, raised patterns. Popular for wedding and reception majlis.
  • Performance fabrics — solution-dyed, stain-resistant, 30,000+ Martindale rub count. Best for daily-use family majlis.
  • Linen-cotton blends — breathable, casual. Suited to open-air farm majlis and garden setups.

We bring sample books to your home so you can see each fabric against your existing décor and lighting.

Custom Wall Lengths and Corner Configurations

Every majlis is measured to your exact wall run. Common configurations:

  • Single-wall run — one continuous length along one wall
  • L-shaped run — two walls meeting at a custom corner
  • U-shaped run — three walls, common in dedicated majlis rooms
  • Window-recess seating — fitted around windows without blocking light
  • Column-avoiding runs — seating wraps around structural columns without gaps

Bring us your room dimensions or a photo of the space. We’ll design the layout and quote accordingly.

Delivery and Installation

Majlis sofas are delivered in multiple sections that assemble on-site. Our team positions every cushion, aligns bolsters, and sets the whole layout against your walls. Packaging is removed.

Free delivery across Dubai. Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other emirates quoted separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you deliver and install majlis outside Dubai? +

Yes. We deliver across Dubai at no extra cost. Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other emirates are quoted separately based on distance. For farm majlis and out-of-emirate projects, we can arrange delivery with our own team.

How long does majlis reupholstery take? +

Typical turnaround is 2–4 weeks depending on majlis size and fabric availability. A single-wall run may be completed in 2 weeks. A full U-shaped majlis with bolsters and corner units usually takes 3–4 weeks.

Can you handle corner units and irregular wall runs? +

Yes. Every majlis we build or restore is measured to your specific wall run. Corner units are custom-angled (not standard bolted-on corners). We also handle window recesses, column-avoiding runs, and irregular room shapes.

What’s the difference between majlis reupholstery and a new custom majlis? +

Majlis reupholstery restores your existing frame and structure, replacing only the foam, fabric, and any worn detailing. This is 60–80% cheaper than a new build and preserves the original proportions. A new custom majlis is built from scratch when the frame is damaged beyond repair or you want a different layout entirely.

Do you reupholster both floor-level and sofa-height majlis? +

Yes. Traditional floor-level majlis sits low with continuous cushion runs along the walls. Modern sofa-height majlis raises the seating to 40–45cm for easier movement. Hybrid layouts combine both. We restore and build all three configurations, sized to your exact wall run.

Can you match or replace mutakkah bolsters? +

Yes. We replace or restuff mutakkah bolsters to match your majlis height and profile. Bolsters are built with firm filling and covered in the same fabric as the seating (or a coordinating contrast fabric). Traditional bolster detailing like tassels and gold trim can be preserved or replaced.

What’s the best fabric for a family majlis? +

For daily family use, we recommend performance fabrics with a 30,000+ Martindale rub count. These are solution-dyed, stain-resistant, and hold colour through Dubai’s climate. For a formal majlis with lighter use, performance velvet or jacquard offers the traditional richness with better durability than standard velvet.

How do you measure a majlis for reupholstery or a new build? +

Majlis seating is quoted by linear metre. We measure the full wall run from corner to corner, then subtract 40cm at each end for door and corner clearance. Corner units are quoted separately. We provide a free in-home measurement across Dubai — send us a photo on WhatsApp and we’ll schedule a visit within the week.

Do you offer a warranty on custom sofas? +

Yes. Every custom sofa carries a 2-year structural warranty on the frame and a 1-year craftsmanship guarantee on upholstery. If a seam opens, a joint loosens, or a cushion loses its shape within the warranty period, we repair or replace it free of charge.

Can you build matching armchairs, ottomans, and cushions? +

Yes. We build matching armchairs, ottomans, benches, and cushions in the same fabric, frame finish, and foam specification as your sofa. This ensures the whole living room reads as one coordinated set rather than a collection of mismatched pieces.

Do you deliver and set up the sofa in my home? +

Yes. We provide white-glove delivery across Dubai — our team brings the sofa in, positions it exactly where you want, and removes all packaging. Delivery is free across most Dubai neighborhoods. Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and other emirates are quoted separately.

What’s the difference between a custom sofa and an off-the-shelf sofa? +

A custom sofa is built to your exact dimensions, fabric choice, foam specification, and detailing. An off-the-shelf sofa comes in standard sizes that rarely fit specific rooms precisely. Custom sofas are also built with solid hardwood frames — most off-the-shelf sofas use softwood or particleboard. The result is a piece that fits perfectly and lasts longer.

Can you match an existing sofa’s dimensions exactly? +

Yes. If you have a sofa whose dimensions work but you want a new one made, we can measure it and build a custom replacement to the exact same size, shape, and detailing. This is common for clients replacing worn sofas in a specific living room layout.

What’s the difference between HR foam and pocket springs? +

HR foam (high-resilience, 38–42 kg/m³) is a firm, durable foam that holds shape for years. Pocket springs are individually wrapped coils for a springier feel with better airflow. HR foam is the standard for modern custom sofas; pocket springs are often preferred for larger or premium pieces. We can also use a hybrid — pocket springs with an HR foam top layer.

Can I see the fabric before the sofa is built? +

Yes. We bring 200+ fabric and leather samples to your home so you can see how each option looks in your actual lighting, against your floor and existing décor. Sample books are free — no obligation to commit.

How long does a custom sofa take to build? +

Typical build time is 3–4 weeks from fabric confirmation. The process includes frame construction (week 1), foam cutting and fitting (week 2), upholstery and quality check (weeks 3–4), and delivery. Rush projects are available with a surcharge.
