Upholstered Sofa

Features

• Manufactured in USA
• Seat cushions and frame parts are fabricated in our own foam fabrication facilities so that we can control the quality and feel of each piece. Cushion thickness is kept at a minimum of 4.5 inches to promote comfort and support. Cushions are fabricated from superior (1.9 lb. density, 34-lb. compression) foam and wrapped in 1oz. or 1.6 oz Dacron for comfort and protection. All foams are made with Environmentally-friendly Polyol derived from soy beans and castor beans that require up to 60% less fossil fuel resources than petroleum-based polyols (for every 11 pounds of plant-based polyol, a gallon of crude oil is saved. This results in 36% less global warming emissions). We monitor test results from every shipment, every day to maintain consistency. Backs and pillows are air-blown with polyurethane foam or polyester fiber to contour to the body for maximum support and comfort.
• We cut and sew our fabrics in each of our plants. This allows us greater flexibility in scheduling and helps us monitor quality. We use one-half inch seams and sew components together at a minimum of 5 1/2 to 6 seams per inch.
• 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 own lumber by hand to help insure 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 individual frame pieces are reinforced in the corners and stress points by glue, blocks and staples, much more preferable than nails or screws.
• Lumber is processed from our in house mill where we can control the quality of all of the hardwood lumber that goes into our frames. In order to insure 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 that can contribute to pollution. We air-dry the lumber until it measures only 19-21 % moisture, contributing to strength and workability.
• 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 stakewire is attached across 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.
