Picture the room first: a tiled family room that opens through sliding doors onto a covered lanai, bright for most of the day and cooled by air conditioning for most of the year. A majlis sofa in Orlando has to suit that room. Sofhu builds Arabic seating to the walls you measure, in fabrics chosen for heat and humidity, and ships it free from Türkiye to your door.
The photos on this page show the Arabic majlis: raised, sofa-height units with an upholstered base, tall fixed backs and arm bolsters. Sofhu also makes the Arabic floor sofa, a low seat mattress with loose back cushions, an ottoman and floor pillows, which suits a relaxed family room.
Ordering a majlis sofa in Orlando
There is no Sofhu store in Central Florida, and no set waiting on a shelf nearby. Sofhu is the manufacturer. Every set is cut to order from the wall measurements you send, so a search for an Arabic sofa near you ends in a quote and a delivery, not a drive across town.
That suits this kind of furniture. An Arabic majlis is meant to run along the walls without gaps, and rooms are never the same length twice. A set made for your walls fits where a ready-made one leaves an awkward space at the end of the row.
Florida rooms and where the seating goes
Most layouts start from the solid walls you have. A majlis is planned to line a wall, and the loose back cushions of a floor sofa need one to lean on, so a run of sliding glass does not count as a wall.
In a family room with one glazed side, an L-shape on the two inside walls keeps the view and the door clear. The grey velvet majlis above shows that arrangement, with the corner filled so the seat reads as one piece. A spare bedroom turned into a guest room can take a U-shape on three walls. For a narrow den, a single row with a rug in front is enough to change how the room is used. The guide to L-shape and U-shape majlis layouts compares them in detail.
Seen from above, a U-shape shows its logic: seats on three sides, armrests marking the places, and the centre left open for serving.
The lanai as a second majlis
A covered lanai is the natural place for evening tea in a Florida house. Sofhu makes outdoor sofas and benches with wooden frames and water-resistant fabric, described as able to handle light rain and moisture. That wording matters. It is not a promise that cushions can live in the open through a summer downpour.
For a screened, roofed lanai, ask Sofhu which outdoor fabric and frame suit your space, and keep a dry place for the cushions in storm season. The outdoor majlis page covers gardens, terraces and tents, and Sofhu’s existing outdoor sofas and benches page shows the range.
Fabric for a humid subtropical climate
Orlando’s climate is humid subtropical, so choose covers by how they breathe and how easily they wash. Sofhu describes its linen series as porous, with high moisture absorption and a refreshing feel in hot weather. Velvet is described as durable and easy to clean, and it suits rooms that stay air-conditioned.
Whatever the fabric, the covers have zippers and come off. Sofhu states they can be machine washed at 30°C. In humid weather, let a washed cover dry completely before it goes back on the foam. The comparison of velvet, linen and jacquard majlis fabric goes further.
What is inside the cushions
The seats are filled with 32 kg/m³ high-density polyurethane foam, with no springs. Density is the weight of foam in a cubic metre. It tells you how much material is in the cushion, not how hard it feels, and denser foam generally keeps its height and support longer. You can ask for a softer or firmer seat on a custom order.
Lounges, restaurants and guest houses
Central Florida’s hospitality trade includes Middle Eastern restaurants and hookah lounges, and low Arabic seating is part of how those rooms feel. Sofhu takes orders from businesses as well as families. A lounge needs fabric that survives heavy use and a plan that leaves room for staff to move, both covered in the guide to hookah lounge seating layout.
Measuring, quote and delivery
- Measure each wall at floor level and mark doors, sliders and air vents. The guide on how to measure a room for a majlis shows the method.
- Photograph the room in daylight.
- Send your measurements for a quote or message Sofhu on WhatsApp with the layout and colours you have in mind.
The set travels vacuum packed in sealed bags. Open them by hand, without a blade, and the foam expands back to shape. Shipping is free. Duties or taxes may apply to goods entering the United States, so ask about them with your quote; importing a majlis to the USA explains the general process.
