What the Houston C280 is, in plain English

Houston C280 is a Dual Power motion sofa. Dual Power means the recliner action and the headrest adjustment are powered and can be controlled separately. That matters because most recliners force one position, whereas Houston C280 lets you fine tune your posture for upright support, then shift into a deeper relaxation position when you want it.

Natuzzi also positions Houston C280 around a Zero Gravity style reclining posture, inspired by the feeling of weight distribution in a weightless position. The key takeaway for most homes is simple, it is designed to feel more balanced and supportive when reclined, not just laid back.

Power headrest and glide forward recliner, what those features actually do

Power forward headrest

The headrest moves forward electrically to support your neck and head when you are sitting upright. It is especially useful if you find standard high back sofas still leave your head tipping forward when watching TV.

Glide forward power recliner

On the SofaMax piece, the seat glides forward as it reclines. In practical terms, it helps you get a proper lounging position without needing as much space behind the sofa as some traditional recliners. It is a feature worth focusing on if your sofa sits closer to a wall or you are working with a tighter lounge.

USB charging and day to day convenience

The Houston C280 design includes an arm side control panel, and Natuzzi describes a USB charging port on the control panel. For most buyers, that is not a headline feature, but it is one of those details you miss when it is not there.

Why this boucle Houston C280 looks different

Most online photos of Houston C280 are leather. This SofaMax example is upholstered in an oat boucle fabric, which changes the look completely. Boucle adds depth and texture, it reads premium, it softens modern interiors, and it hides everyday texture marks better than flat weave fabrics.

If you like the Houston C280 shape but want a warmer and more current fabric feel, this is the exact sort of combination people struggle to find on a quick turnaround.

Measurements for this SofaMax corner piece

Overall footprint is 220 cm by 296 cm.

Depth is 104 cm.

Depth when reclined is 167 cm.

Height is 104 cm.

Those measurements are for the specific SofaMax display model linked above, not a generic brochure layout.

How to know if Houston C280 is right for your room

1. Check your walkway and turning space, corners feel compact on paper but delivery access can be the real issue.

2. Confirm where your nearest power socket is, powered recliners are best when the cable run is neat and safe.

3. Decide how you actually lounge, if you want neck support while upright, the powered headrest becomes a daily use feature.

4. Think about wall clearance, glide forward helps, but you still want sensible room behind for a clean recline movement.

Buying an outlet display model, what to check

A display model can be the best way to buy a premium motion sofa at a much lower price, as long as you do two quick checks.

1. Condition. Ask for clear photos of any high contact areas, arms, seat fronts, and the corner join.

2. Functions. Ask for a quick video showing the recliner and headrest operating smoothly.

3. Delivery access. Share your postcode and any tight access details so there are no surprises.

If you want us to confirm condition and delivery options, message SofaMax with your postcode and a couple of photos of your access route, for example your hallway and doorway.
