1st Upholstery Project: Couch/Daybed
Posted: Sun Nov 22, 2020 5:37 am
Working on my first large furniture upholstery project and had a few questions on the frame and cushion support for my design, pics attached. Trying to tackle a deep couch/daybed.
For the frame I'm planning to dowel and screw most connections and will mainly be using 3/4" thick Poplar, which I'm not 100% sure will be strong enough. Based on the dimensions in the drawing will I be able to use jute webbing for this, or will I have to use wooden slats instead? The main seat cushion foam would probably be a single sheet of 4.5" DuraFlex™ D30 (Density: 2.2 lbs/ft³, ILD: 30.) and the back and side will be upholstered as well.
Is this looking feasible so far?
