How to Choose a Well-Constructed Pocket Spring Sofa

There are three main parts of an upholstered sofa or chair that determine how long your piece of furniture will last:

the frame, the suspension and the cushions. Some manufacturers are more forthcoming than others about how

their furniture is made, and it’s worth finding out as much information as you can about these three elements.

They’re key to determining the likelihood of a new sofa wobbling, sinking or flattening out.

Frame material. Upholstery frames should be made with kiln-dried hardwood or engineered hardwood. The latter

category can be broad, so look for engineered hardwood made from at least seven layers of solid wood pressed

together — that’s what you need for a strong, warp-resistant frame. Avoid engineered products such as medium-

density fiberboard (MDF), particle board or standard plywood.

Frame construction. Just as important as the kind of wood is how the pieces are joined together. If it’s done

poorly, the sofa will start to wobble. Frames can be put together using a variety of methods, so look for terms

like mortise and tenon, double dowel and corner-block-reinforced (where an extra piece of wood is installed at

the corners). Avoid upholstery frames that are mainly held together with screws and glue or that use metal

connectors attached to two pieces of wood.

Tip: Does the piece have a lifetime frame warranty? If so, that usually implies the frame was put together well.

Suspension

If you’ve spent any time researching what makes a quality piece of furniture, you’ve likely come across the term

eight-way hand-tied. This refers to the suspension, which is the part of the sofa under the cushions that ensures

you don’t end up sitting on the floor. There are many different types of suspensions and many opinions on which

is the best. That won’t stop us from trying to get to the bottom of it.
