Document the issue before trying to fix it yourself.

Check the stated timeline

Find the manufacturer's recovery instructions and measure after the specified waiting period, not immediately after opening. Confirm that every wrap and restraint has been removed and the sofa has enough room to unfold. Compare the same dimensions shown in the product listing.

Make a clear claim

Photograph the sofa from several angles with a ruler at the uneven area. Save the delivery date, order number, and the written recovery period. Contact the seller within its claim deadline and ask for approved steps, replacement, or return options. Avoid heat, steam, or force unless instructed in writing, as those could damage materials.

A specific, timely record is more useful than repeatedly pulling at an uncooperative cushion.
