Your models are impressive. Very realistic. My attempts at upholstered furniture always came across as boxy looking.

I'm still trying to grasp if you are making most of the polygons by hand or using soap bubble or something equivalent?

[cuttingedge]

I think what makes a sofa realistic are the fine creases. I see this in your renders but I dont see them in the wires shown. Are you further subdividing and sculpting these fine creases or do you apply some bump or normal map?. Certainly i will not think that you photoshopped it.

My mind ponders at how useless I am! Your work serves as an inspiration for all SU users!

And yes, and no. I rarely use Soap Skin. Mostly for seating. This tool is good when the edge of the plane is parallel for axes. Sides and the other surfaces made with the Skinning tool and some places by hand.

You Noticed correctly. I use a mixed technique. In some places, the geometry have wrinkles and crease. For the rendering, I applied bump map

but how do you place the bump map of wrinkles where it should be when we do not have proper UV unwrap?
