ZOY (中源家居) is a Shanghai-listed maker of reclining and functional sofas, sectionals and upholstered beds. We started in Anji in 2001, moved into functional seating in 2008, and now ship to importers and retailers in more than 120 countries.

The living story
We make the sofa people actually sink into at night
A functional sofa lives a harder life than a flat one. The recline mechanism gets pulled a few times every evening, the footrest carries weight it was never drawn for, and the foam has to come back to shape the next morning. That is the part we obsess over, because it is the part that comes back as a claim if you get it wrong.
Our route into this was not glamorous. ZOY began in 2001 in bamboo products, and only moved into functional sofas around 2008 — first as an OEM partner for overseas brands, then with our own designs. That OEM apprenticeship is why we still talk in carton strength and cycle counts rather than adjectives.
A recliner is judged in the third year, not the first week. Anyone can make one that feels good in the showroom.— ZOY product engineering, Anji

Comfort, engineered
Where the comfort actually comes from
Three things decide whether a functional sofa lasts: the foam, the frame and the mechanism. We can quote any combination, but here is how we usually advise.
- Seat foam, by density not by feelWe build seats from around 35 kg/m³ for the value tier up to 45 kg/m³ high-resilience foam for contract and heavy daily use. The cheaper foam is genuinely fine for a guest room; it is the wrong call for a sofa someone reclines in every night.
- Recline mechanisms with a stated cycle lifeManual and powered units are bench-cycled — we quote the rated open-close count rather than calling it "durable". Powered models use motors with a USB or type-C console option.
- Kiln-dried hardwood and plywood framesLoad-bearing joints are corner-blocked and screwed, not stapled. We will show you the frame photo before a container ships.
Where we ship
From Anji to more than 120 countries
Cross-border e-commerce is now a core part of our business, and it grew about 55% in 2024. Years of full-container furniture into standards-driven markets show up in the unglamorous details — carton edge-crush, how recline motors are immobilised in transit, labelling that survives a humid reefer — and those are what keep your returns down.

Common questions
What buyers ask first
For a stocked or near-stock model we usually start around a mixed 20-foot container; for a new OEM/ODM development it is a full 40HQ of that model so the tooling and setup make sense. Tell us your quantity and we will say plainly whether it works.
For daily-use lounge and recliner pieces in cooler markets, top- or split-grain leather wears well and cleans easily. For warm or price-sensitive markets, a good technical fabric or PU often sells better and costs less. We quote both and let the retail price decide.
A repeat order in an existing spec is typically a few weeks after deposit; a new development with sampling runs longer because of the sample-approval loop on the mechanism. We give you a real date per order, not a slogan.
Yes. A large share of our output ships as OEM under customers’ labels, with your logo, manuals and master-carton artwork done in-house. See the OEM / ODM page for how it runs.
Send the spec — we'll quote the real thing
A few lines on models, quantities and your market is enough to start. If a job sits outside what we run well, we'll tell you rather than burn your sampling budget.
