Tight seat or loose seat? That’s the question…
Sofas, sectionals and chairs are available in 4 different styles as it relates to tight or loose cushions. We’re often chatting with Vastu customers about the difference, so we thought we’d bring the conversation to the blog.
#1 Tight seat / tight back
This style of sofa, sectional, or chair has no loose cushions. The look of a tight seat/tight back piece is, generally, more modern than the other options as the piece has very clean lines (no cushions that move and shift around a little). While many people find this style of seating comfortable, this isn’t the go-to style for a piece you plan to do a lot of lounging on. Here’s an example of a tight seat/tight back sofa…
#2 Tight seat / loose back
Vastu upholstery in 7 steps: Steps 5, 6, and 7
We’re in the home stretch! We talked about the first two steps in the Vastu personalized upholstery process here, and then went on to share steps 3 and 4 in the process here. So you know that first you choose a style, then you determine dimensions, then you select a fabric (or leather), and then you choose a leg style and finish. Now, we’re going to share the final three steps you take to create your unique upholstered piece made by Steven Anthony.
Step 5: Seat and Back Cushions
You may choose how many cushions you would like for both the seat and back of your sofa or sectional assuming the style you choose has loose cushions. All of our loose seat cushion sofas are made standard with down-wrapped foam cushions. Watch this video for a closer look at how Steven Anthony constructs his sofa, sectional, and chair cushions:

You can choose from metal post legs, L-bracket legs and metal trim details – all available in a brushed or polished finishes in varying heights.
