Re: New Bradington Young Purchase Questions.
I have the 866 series sofa in my store, and customers seem to like the way it sits. I've sold several off it in different color leathers. The standard core on that piece is the Spring Down, which is a 4.5" marshall unit coil system encases in foam, with fiber top and bottoms to complete the box. Then a layer of Ultra Down is added to the top in a downproof ticking and a 50/50 blend of down feathers and fibers blown into the top/sides of the cushion, Its designed to have comfort with resiliency. Premier Down is similar, but lacks the spring marshall unit, instead relying on two-stage foam for its support. Spring Down is the most costly of all the cores, the Premier Down is a mid-level cushion core.
You're gaining about 2" in overall INSIDE height from the seat on the 519. Now, the 519 has the Premier Down, so yes, it will sit somewhat different.
I do not like making specific comfort analysis on pieces for two reasons:
1) Everyone's body is a little different and what suits one person doesn't suit another;
2) If you buy it and don't like the comfort when it comes - the first person you will call will be me and the conversation will be "YOU SAID it was comfortable and we bought it on that basis. We don't like it very much so since you recommended it what are you going to do about it?" And I don't want those phone calls....
If comfort is critical to your buy decision, then the only way is to find one to try out for yourself!
There is no # 519 Recliner that I know of....
No real drawbacks to a spring Down cushion except they will look a bit more rumpled over time as the piece is used.
