Mattress for deep banquette sofa
Comments (13)Check if you have a Foam company in your area. I recently reupholstered a love seat and I replaced the foam inserts on the seat cushions. I found a store near my home (Southern Calif.) that has many choices and will custom cut the foam to the size and thickness you want. I wanted something very firm so I ordered the "Q41" (2.8 density, 41 firmness). Prior to inserting the foam into the fabric cover, I sprayed the foam with a special adhesive and wrapped it with 1" thick Dacron batting. To get an online price quote and to learn about various foam types... open the A-1 link below, pick on the Foam link at the top. Next, pick on the square shape. Then, it will ask you to select 1. dimensions you want, 2. how the foam will be used, 3. select foam type.... just below #3 in small print, you will pick on "Click here to learn more about choosing the right foam for you". Here you will learn about various cushion/foam firmness and density and the numerical system used to rate a foam's firmness. It will also have a chart for various foam types and typical uses including mattresses & breakfast nook applications. I noticed that they can send you 10" x 10" samples. What you pay for the samples is applicable to any future order. In my case, I was able to feel all the samples in the store. -Laurie Here is a link that might be useful: A-1 Foam and Fabrics...See MoreBanquette seating pics/
Comments (13)Okay, so about an hour later after 1st reading the responses I am back. Thank you so very much, NHB for the links. I love them & the article is very informing - esp about a thicker cushion & height/depth. I love Kitchenkelly's morgue drawers - hee hee:) Sueb20 - your banquette is beautiful & exactly what I had in mind. Chijim - yep, that is high line right there!! Is he the designer they call the king of chintz? Lovely & over the top:) Well, I was thinking of a banquette but DH nixed the idea. Oh well, I enjoyed all the pics & info. I think it is so great for a breakfast nook. Thank you all. Smiles:)...See Morebanquette seating entry room on an enclosed end?
Comments (10)I lost some of my original comment somehow, so ETA this first paragraph: I think it's okay for kids, but tight for adults. We have casters on our table that make it easier to clean and when we had a banquette at our last house it was really handy to be able to roll the table around to get people in/out of the corner. It looks like you're planning a pretty heft table, so maybe casters is something for you to consider as well. *** Is your layout set in stone? I wasn't a part of your previous thread, so I don't know any of the backstory. A pet peeve of mine is when the fridge and dishwasher conflict; in my house everyone wants a drink or snack while I'm putting stuff in the dishwasher. This is how my 7'5"x12'6" kitchen is laid out. Priorities were keeping the fridge out of my work space and no corner cabinets. I debated the dw location, but ultimately, the oven and dw are never open at the same time, so tucked it at the end. Anyway. Just food for thought. You might be able to have a bigger sink if you went this direction......See MoreBanquette seating
