In Irving, a majlis sofa usually goes into a room set aside for guests: the formal living room downstairs or the game room upstairs. Sofhu, the manufacturer, makes the seating in Türkiye to that room's wall measurements, with 32 kg/m³ high-density foam and washable zippered covers, and delivers it to Irving with free shipping. Ordering starts with a quote by measurement.

Before fabric or colour, an Irving buyer has one decision to make: which room do you give to your guests? Newer homes here tend to offer two candidates, a formal living room at the front and a game room upstairs. A majlis sofa for an Irving home is built by Sofhu for whichever one you choose, measured wall by wall, made in Türkiye and shipped free.
Two rooms that can become a majlis
| Formal living room | Upstairs game room | |
|---|---|---|
| Position | By the front door | Away from the entrance |
| Good for | Receiving visitors, Eid, short calls | Family nights, sleepovers, long gatherings |
| Typical layout | U-shape or L-shape | L-shape, or U with one short arm |
| Check first | Openings to hall and dining room | Railings, stairs, sloped ceilings |
Neither is wrong. Some households do both over time: the formal room first, then a simpler set upstairs for the family. Whichever you pick, the seating has to stand against a wall. It is not freestanding furniture, and an open side or a railing cannot carry a backrest.
A community that hosts at home
Irving sits between Dallas and Fort Worth and has a large Muslim community. A substantial South Asian population lives around Las Colinas and Valley Ranch. Arab families use the word majlis or jalsa for the guest room. Sofhu makes two products for that room. The Arabic majlis, shown throughout this page, is raised to sofa height on an upholstered base with a fixed back. The Arabic floor sofa is a low set of loose seat cushions, back cushions and armrests, for households that prefer to sit at floor level, as many South Asian families do.
A room kept for guests does more than tidy the house. It lets a visit happen at short notice, with the tea tray on the rug and nobody stepping over schoolbags. If you are planning for Ramadan, the iftar and Eid seating plan shows how to place people and food.
What a dedicated guest-room set includes
A guest room looks finished when everything in it belongs together. Sofhu can supply the whole room, not only the seats:
- Seat cushions cut to each wall, with zippered covers and foam inserts
- Backrests and armrests
- Throw pillows and loose floor cushions
- An ottoman for the centre
- A rug or kilim, and curtains to match
You can take all of it or only the seating. The article on the parts of a majlis set names each piece, and the majlis sofa set hub shows complete rooms. To judge how many guests a wall will hold, read how many people a majlis seats.
Keeping the majlis guest-ready
The trouble with a guest room in a busy house is that it does not stay a guest room. Children find it. Two choices help.
First, the cover. Every cover unzips, and Sofhu states they wash in a machine at 30°C. A mid-tone or patterned fabric forgives more than plain cream. Second, the foam. Sofhu fills its seats with 32 kg/m³ high-density foam, known in Türkiye as 32 DNS. Density measures how much material is in the cushion, and denser foam generally keeps its height longer under daily use. There are no springs inside. The guide to a family majlis with kids has more on living with the set.
Ordering a majlis sofa in Irving
There is no Sofhu shop in Irving to visit. The order is made from your own measurements:
- Measure each wall of the chosen room and write the unit beside every number.
- Mark the door, windows, vents, outlets and any railing or half wall.
- Note what you want beyond the seating: rug, curtains, ottoman.
- Send it with two photos through the quote by measurement page or on WhatsApp.
Sofhu confirms the layout with you, and the custom majlis hub lists everything that can be changed. The set is delivered vacuum packed, which is useful for an upstairs room because the parcels are compact on the stairs. Shipping is free. Import duties or taxes may apply depending on customs rules, so ask before you order.
Statewide information is on oriental Arabic jalsah in Texas. The neighbouring Dallas guide looks at layouts and fabric for the wider metroplex, and there is a separate page for Houston.
