What has happened to building cushions with crown? Probably an understanding of how it is built plays
out in this question. There are several techniques/issues in how to build the crown.
Cushion crown is accomplished in cushion patterning as well as the filler can.
Building cushions with crown was - in the tradition period - was done more. Is the added cost in materials
and labor time the reason? Or is it mostly about cost?
Do many upholsters get the "crown" request? Or is your business only requested to build a cushion that
is symmetric and good seaming?
Crowning, I have observed in the newer/cheaper furniture can be or is executed by building them with a deep box and stuffing them (to better understand) with much softer, and thicker foam. That creates
some crown as the cushion will bulge at the cushion center. But, tailoring to achieve crown, requires cutting the face plates differently (not straight lines) and as said before, further crown influence can
be achieved with the filler attached to the primary cushion being inserted.
It may be, most like the cording along the edge and the face plates flat?
What kind of feed back do business owners get from consumers - some older consumers have
ask what to do to make a cushion to "just" look softer?
That is what caused me to raise thought and ask if this issue comes up with your business and how
does it usually play out?
Remember the down filled cushions of (mostly) old days. They certainly involved more engineering and
thought about building furniture cushions.
