A majlis sofa in Dallas is ordered to measure, not picked up from a local shop. Sofhu, the manufacturer, builds raised, upholstered majlis sets in Türkiye from your wall measurements, fills it with 32 kg/m³ high-density foam, and ships it free to homes across Dallas–Fort Worth. A U-shape suits the separate formal living room found in many North Texas houses.

Many houses across the northern Dallas suburbs have a room the family hardly uses: the formal living room beside the front door. For Arab and Muslim households in Richardson, Plano and Irving, that room is the natural place for a majlis. A majlis sofa Dallas families order from Sofhu is cut to the walls of that room, made in Türkiye and shipped to the door free of charge.
The front room is already a guest room
The Arab and Muslim community of Dallas–Fort Worth does not live in one district. It is spread across the northern suburbs. Richardson is one of its anchors, and Middle Eastern groceries and restaurants run along the Richardson and Garland corridor. People drive to see each other, and once they arrive they stay.
The houses suit that habit. A formal living room near the entrance lets guests be received without walking through the kitchen and the family den, which is exactly the job of a majlis. Line its walls with majlis seating and the room is finally used.
Majlis sofa Dallas: there is no store, and that is the point
People who search for an Arabic furniture store in Dallas are usually hoping to see a set before buying. Sofhu cannot offer that. It is the manufacturer, it works from Türkiye, and it has no shop in Texas.
What it offers instead is a set that fits. Sofhu makes two products: the Arabic majlis shown on this page, raised to sofa height with a solid upholstered base and fixed backs, and the Arabic floor sofa, a low set of loose cushions at floor level for a more casual room. Shop stock comes in fixed lengths, so one wall ends with a gap or a cushion that overhangs a doorway. Sofhu cuts each run to the wall it will lean on. You choose the fabric, the colour and the firmness, and you can walk through the design on a video call. The guide to buying from an Arabic furniture store online explains what to check when you cannot touch the product.
Which layout fits which Dallas room
A separate formal room with three clear walls is the easiest case there is, and it is why the U-shape is the usual answer here.
| Room | Layout | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Formal living room by the entry | U-shape | The open side and any half wall |
| Family room with a fireplace wall | L-shape | Hearth and TV wall stay clear |
| Upstairs game room | U-shape or L-shape | Railings are not walls |
| Apartment living room | Single row or L-shape | Balcony door and vents |
A majlis lines the walls. Each section needs a wall or another solid surface behind it. The page on L-shape and U-shape majlis layouts shows how corners and openings are handled, and the majlis sofa set guide lists what a complete set contains.
Fabric for a house that lives on air-conditioning
Dallas summers are hot, and the air-conditioning runs for most of them. That changes the fabric question. The room itself stays cool, so velvet is not ruled out. What you feel is the surface: a dense pile holds warmth against the skin, while linen and flat weaves feel cooler and drier.
For a room in daily use, lean lighter in both weight and colour. For a formal room opened on Fridays and at Eid, a richer velvet or chenille is a reasonable choice. Either way the covers are zippered and removable, and Sofhu states they can be machine washed at 30°C. The comparison of velvet, linen and jacquard goes through the trade-offs.
What is inside the cushions
Every seat is filled with 32 kg/m³ high-density foam, which the trade in Türkiye calls 32 DNS. Density is the amount of material in the cushion, not its hardness. Denser foam generally keeps its height and support longer. There are no springs, and on a custom order you can ask for a softer or firmer feel.
From your tape measure to your front door
- Measure every wall that will take seating, corner to corner, and note the unit.
- Mark doors, windows, floor vents, outlets and the fireplace if there is one.
- Photograph the room from two corners.
- Send it all through the quote by measurement page or on WhatsApp.
The room measuring guide covers awkward corners. The finished set travels vacuum packed and expands once the bags are opened; do not use a blade on the packaging. Shipping is free. Duties or taxes may apply on arrival, so read the notes on importing a majlis to the USA and ask Sofhu before ordering.
