Callands Upholstered 76 " Sleeper Sofa

Features

• We own our lumber mill where we can control the quality of all of the hardwood lumber that goes into our frames. To ensure high-quality standards, we air-dry our lumber for 90 to 120 days. Air-drying is the process by which the moisture is removed from the wood, preventing it from warping and twisting at a later date. Another benefit of air-drying is that it also allows the wood to cure by letting the moisture dissipate naturally without using kilns which can contribute to pollution. We air-dry the lumber until it measures only 19-21 % moisture, contributing to strength and workability.
• Our frames are built in-house with hardwood, such as oak, ash, birch, or maple (70%) and plywood or OSB (30%). In our machine room, we cut and grade our lumber by hand to help ensure quality for the foundation of our recliners. We only use hardwood lumber, never plywood or OSB in stress points or load-bearing areas of our frames. Our frame pieces are reinforced in the corners and stress points by glue, blocks and staples, much preferable to nails or screws.
• Our springs are machine-tested for durability and lasting support. A sturdy frame provides an anchor for good seating support, while the filling or cushion, augments it. In our frames, 8 gauge no-sag wide loop sinuous springs are “S” shaped and run from the front of the seat to the back. An additional 16-gauge stake wire is attached from side to side to support these springs. This process is done by pneumatically clamping the springs together to tie the individual springs into one unit to prevent the springs from separating or twisting. Back spring clips are autolocking and are made from nylon to help reduce noise. Back springs are 12-gauge sinuous wire. Our seat spring clips are constructed from metal to provide strength and are nylon-lined, reducing noise. This makes for a strong seat and provides superior support.
