Hancock & Moore Sullivan Chair or Glider

[Riddle]

Hi Duane,

The H&M site and your Town and Country catalog photos show 9461G as the "Sullivan Chair" but I could have sworn that model number used to be a glider. Is it a glider or a chair? If the latter, can it still be purchased as a glider?

Also, do minor modifications like extra fill in a back instantly move an item on the Town and Country program to standard pricing?

Thanks!

Yes, # 9461G is on the current Town & Country list in Columbia Butternet leather. The "G" stands for "Glider" and I'm 98% sure that means a swivel on the base as well.

You can change the wood (if any), nail trim, firmness or fullness of cushions on any T&C program item at no additional charge.

The Town and Country program is changing July 1st, that item may or may not disappear from the program, or be modified. Just an FYI.

Oooo. That's good news!

Thank you!

Another somewhat related question:

The local store that carries H&M has mostly the down blend cushions, which I like. I sat on the Qualux cushion on the H&M the City sofa and didn't like the sinking-in feeling. Based on the size and cover, I think this piece is from the Town and Country program. They have a Sullivan Glider, again probably from the Town and Country program based on the cover. It has a Qualux cushion which is just fine. Nothing on the hang tags mentioned anything about firmness of the foam, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. Any guesses as to why the foam sofa cushion and foam glider cushion "sit" so differently? This isn't just me either. My husband noticed the same thing.

Thanks!

It all has to do with spring rates in the base of the sofa, and core density spec'd for a given product model series. As you discovered, they don't all sit the same! Some are very plush, others more firm. I agree that it can be confusing.....
