Direct Answer
Heat-resistant sofa specifications for Indian summer: breathable performance fabric that allows air circulation (vs sealed synthetic materials that trap heat), light-coloured upholstery in pale tones that reflect rather than absorb solar heat, positioning away from direct afternoon sunlight, and sealed hardwood frames that don't expand noticeably at 42-44 degrees C. For AC rooms: maintain temperature at 22-25 degrees C rather than below 18 degrees C — extreme cold creates condensation cycles as warm bodies contact cold leather.
Understanding this is critical for Indian furniture buyers. Conditions in Indian homes including seasonal humidity variation, multi-generational use, Indian cooking proximity, and the 15-20 year ownership horizon all factor into furniture decisions differently than in European or American contexts.
