Hardwood Frames

We produce a beech hardwood frame that is second to none in this country. The frame has a 35 Year guarantee but will last much longer than that. The beech hardwood is from sustainable sources and is grown in the UK.
We Upholster our frames with the best parts money can buy to make your furniture the best in Long Eaton. We use felts and different types of quality foam to pad the frame, together with a coil spring unit, which produces the ultimate comfortable sitting experience that will last for your to come.
Seat cushions are designed to your own specification, you are then able to choose between channel filled Du Pont Fusion fibre cushions, Reflex foams and Chinese duck feather fillings.

Wade Coil Springs

The springs we use in all our sofas and chairs are Wade coil springs, these are used to ensure extra comfort as well as durability and these come as standard with a 35 year guarantee.
