Cushion Story

Cushion Story
 


At Classic Leather and Statesville Chair, we manufacture our own cushions. We have put many years of research and experience into our cushion construction. This gives us the confidence to ensure our customers they are receiving the highest quality seating at the best value. The level of comfort we build into our cushions is unsurpassed in our industry. Manufacturing our cushions also allows us the ability to offer you a variety of cushion options, as well as custom seating that will fulfill any customer's needs. Each cushion is specially designed for a specific piece and not all cushion options are interchangeable. If your customer needs softer or firmer seating, we are happy to accommodate their request, at no additional charge. Please review the information below and/or let your customer service representative assist you in selecting the best possible cushion choice for your customer.

Basic make up of the cushion
• At the core of every cushion is a piece of high resiliency polyurethane foam that provides durability, support and comfort.
• The option of a Marshall coil spring unit is available on all cushion styles. Inserted into the cushion core, it creates a solid “ride” and more support (good for high use, seniors, and heavier people).
• The cushion is wrapped in soft polyester fiber, which provides additional comfort.
• The wrapped cushion is then inserted into a channeled down proof cover that has been filled and blown with polyester fiber, providing even more comfort and look.

Down Blend Option
A cushion that includes down will provide more plush seating. The construction is the same as above, except that the channeled down-proof cover is filled with 90% waterfowl duck and 10% polyester fiber blend. Most of the styles we offer have a down blend option.

Down options are available on most of the styles we offer. Please refer to your price list under each style for more information.

You may add firmness to any cushion by simply requesting “firmer” on your order form. We will put a firmer cushion core in any of the above styles.

Remember, fabric upholstered furniture will sit differently from leather. Leather upholstered furniture will always have a firmer seat. A fabric cushion has the filling in the top and bottom of cover, and is reversible. Leather cushions have filling in the top only (the “crown”). They are flat on the bottom and are not reversible.

Madison Seating
The standard cushion for most Madison pieces is the Majestic. You may add a spring unit (Majestic II) for additional firmness and durability, or you may add one of the down options (Lux or Lux II).

All new styles (since April 05) will come standard with the Plush Cushion. The Plush is specifically designed for new Madison pieces and may only be substituted with the Plush II, Down Plush, or Down Plush II.

Find out what your customer needs, then provide them the best option. And remember, there are no up charges for any of these changes.

Back cushions
Like the seat cushions, all backs are constructed according to the style of the piece. Some backs will require hand tied coiled springs or Marshall Coil spring units (referred to as “tight backs”). Other styles will have bustle, semi- attached, or padded backs. All are hand constructed by our craftsmen to ensure a level of comfort that will meet or exceed the demands of our customers. Our people hand cut, fill, weigh and sew generous amounts of fiber into channeled bags, which are then inserted into zippered casings. All of this attention to detail results in the most comfortable and durable
seat possible!
