Re: Pottery Barn Turner vs HCM, Brad Young
Your posts cover a very broad spectrum, but in general I can tell you that performance of a sofa is over time, not on an initial set upon. While you may like the feel of the Pottery Barn piece, their upholstery does not have a reputation for durability or performance, and I think you were told a lot of smoke and mirrors on their build. Unless P.B had drastically changed their construction they are not a solid hardwood frame company, nor 8-way build. If you decide to try it, I would be interested in hearing your feedback on it at 24 and 36 months if use to see if it is still serviceable by then. At 310 lb, you do need a well made sofa.
You are shopping all the trendy mall stores (Pottery Barn, Arhaus, Restoration Hardware). They are known for high-profile locations and mediocre to poor quality. Why not go into a REAL furniture store and try out some quality goods?
Cushion cores can be changed on many makers, its just a matter of getting a different foam density. At 6' 8" your Hancock and Moore sofa is the # 4192 Settlement, upgrades to either 21 oz cores of 25 oz super firm. Expect to pay more than the units you are looking at. The H&M will still be in daily use while those other brands have been in the landfill for years.
