Sofa Sets and Majlis Seating UAE: Custom Manufacture, All Styles

The right seating transforms any space — tent, villa garden, indoor reception room, or event marquee. Arab Muzalat manufactures sofa sets and majlis seating in-house, which means every piece is built to the dimensions, fabric, and style you specify rather than adjusted from a catalogue item. We supply to homes, event companies, hospitality venues, and government reception facilities across the UAE.

Types of Seating We Manufacture

Arabic Floor Majlis Sets

The traditional Arabic majlis seating arrangement uses padded floor cushions along the perimeter of a room or tent, with bolsters providing back support. Arab Muzalat manufactures complete floor majlis sets including:

• Floor cushions (mattress style): 70 x 120 cm or 80 x 150 cm, foam density 40 to 50 kg/m³, thickness 8 to 12 cm. Covered in velvet, jacquard, or custom fabric.
• Back bolsters: Cylindrical or rectangular, 60 to 80 cm diameter, matching or contrasting cover to the floor cushions.
• Corner pieces: Square or L-shaped padded corners that anchor the layout at room corners.
• Throw pillows: Decorative scatter cushions in coordinating or contrasting patterns.

Standard floor majlis set for a 5 x 5 m room: 8 to 12 floor cushions plus 8 to 12 bolsters, priced from AED 3,500 to 9,000 depending on fabric and density choices.

High-Back Arabic Majlis Sofas

The high-back majlis sofa combines the perimeter-seating logic of the traditional majlis with Western sofa construction — a raised seat, a firm high back, and wooden arms at either end. It is the most common seating type in UAE reception rooms and tent setups today.

Arab Muzalat builds high-back majlis sofas in three configurations:

• Single-seat (corner piece): 90 cm wide, arm at one end, designed for room corners or line ends.
• Double-seat: 140 to 160 cm wide, armless or with arms, for straight wall runs.
• Triple-seat: 200 to 220 cm wide, the main unit in a perimeter layout.

A complete high-back majlis for a 6 x 8 m room requires approximately 8 to 12 units depending on configuration. Price range: AED 600 to 1,400 per unit depending on wood quality, foam density, and fabric grade.

Royal and Palace Reception Sofas

For VIP reception rooms, government facilities, and high-end private villas, Arab Muzalat manufactures carved-wood-frame sofas with hand-embroidered fabric panels, gold or silver trim detailing, and high-density seating foam (50 to 60 kg/m³ for sustained firm support). These pieces are designed to project dignity and authority — and to remain comfortable through hours of formal reception use.

Royal sofa sets include coordinating throne chairs, side tables, and matching floor runner carpets sourced or manufactured to complete the ensemble.

L-Shaped Corner Sofas

The L-shaped layout suits square or near-square rooms where two full walls of seating meet at a corner. Arab Muzalat manufactures L-sofas as integrated units or as separate modules that connect. Seat depth: 60 to 80 cm. Back height: 80 to 120 cm. Available in both contemporary and traditional Arabic styling.

Outdoor and Event Seating

Seating for outdoor use in the UAE requires UV-resistant fabric and moisture-resistant foam or synthetic fill. Arab Muzalat manufactures outdoor majlis cushion sets using solution-dyed acrylic fabric (Sunbrella-grade) over closed-cell foam or quick-dry polyester fill — the same material standard used in marine and hospitality applications. These sets handle UAE humidity and occasional rain without degradation.

For event hire companies, we also supply rental-grade banquet chairs, reception lounge chairs, and folding cushioned seating in bulk quantities.

The foam inside a sofa or cushion determines comfort and longevity. Arab Muzalat uses three density grades:

• Standard (32 kg/m³): Suitable for occasional-use spaces — guest rooms, seasonal majlis tents. Budget-friendly.
• High-density (40 kg/m³): The standard for daily-use majlis and commercial venues. Holds shape for 5 to 8 years under regular use.
• Premium (50 to 60 kg/m³): For royal reception and VIP settings where firmness and longevity are non-negotiable.

Colour and Style Customisation

Every sofa set from Arab Muzalat is made to your specified fabric and colour. We carry fabric samples across all grades, or we can source specific fabrics from the UAE market or import on request. Embroidery, trim work, piping, button-tufting, and carved or painted wooden frames are all available as options.

Common colour requests for UAE majlis: ivory and gold, burgundy and beige, navy and cream, all-white for summer reception tents, charcoal and silver for contemporary villa interiors.

Matching Your Seating to Your Tent or Majlis

When Arab Muzalat supplies both the tent structure and the interior seating, we coordinate both at the design stage. The tent dimensions determine the perimeter seating layout, the pole positions dictate where corner pieces go, and the fabric colour of the tent walls informs the sofa fabric selection. This produces a visually unified space rather than a tent and furniture that look like they came from different suppliers — because when bought separately, they usually do.
