The Story Behind This Sofa
Comfort in a sofa is engineered from the bottom up, and almost none of it is visible in a photograph.
It starts at the seat platform. Webbing or springing is fixed across the seat rails under tension and is what actually carries a person's weight - foam alone sitting on a solid board gives the hard, dead feel that makes an expensive-looking sofa unpleasant after twenty minutes. Tension is set by hand and checked across the full width so the seat does not sag toward the middle where it is used most.
Above that sits the cushion build. A seat cushion is not one block: it is a core with softer layers wrapped around it, so the first impression is soft and the support underneath is firm. Get the ratio wrong and the sofa either feels hard immediately or bottoms out after six months.
Then the tufting. Each button on that back panel is pulled through the padding and tied off behind, compartmentalising the filling so it cannot migrate. Every button is placed by hand to a marked grid - a tufting grid that drifts is visible instantly across a room.
