I have been looking at the Taylor King website. It looks like they have a line called cozy creations. It does not tell if the construction method varies from their std.Taylor King line.
Could you tell me the diff in construction between cozy creations and std?
Such as seat cushion; and what you reccomend from them for seat cushion construction........spring vs. foam?
Thanks
Cozy Creations is regular Taylor King construction (8-way hand-tied, double-doweled, hardwood frames) but is slightly smaller than the main line as it was designed for condo and apartment usage. Frames cannot be customized in Cozy Creations but other than that its regular T-K.
Foam or Spring, all depends on your preference! In fabric, I prefer Spring Down, but in leather I tend to like Qualux foam.
A couple of more questions about the kingsroad line. Is the std. cushion a foam cushion? And can you upgrade to a spring down? I have sat on a std cushion, but never a spring down. I would be interested in why you prefer the spring cushion on the fabric unit....firmness?
Also how long does King Taylor warrant their cushion options?
Thanks,
King's Road is the 'value' line of Taylor King. The only practical differences between it and the premium line is that you cannot customize the frames, and it will come standard with the "UltraAire" cushion which is in essence and DuPont Qualux core. There are several cushions options, and rather then re-typing them from the book, I have scanned the page here as an attachment.
TK warranties their cushions for five years, with the exception of the E-Z Down which has a one year warranty. They pay the freight for the 1st year, and in years 2 through 5, customer pays the shipping.
I like 'Spring Down" because it gives you the feel of a down cushion, yet with the encased Marshall unit insert, will bounce back up to 90% of the height unlike pure down and feathers which has a high crush to it and requires fluffing. In TK, the two most popular cushion selections are the Spring Down and the Catalina Down.
Thank you sir. Your expertise is much appreciated.
What is the difference between Spring Down and Catalina Down? Is one better than the other?
Spring down has a Marshall unit at its core whereas Catalina Down uses a polyurethane core. They are not all that different and I think it confuses everyone to offer such similar products. Rule of thumb: Spring down in Fabric, Poly core down in Leather.
I am posting as a new Forum member, Thanks for all of the previous advice I have read here! Does the Cozy Creations line of Taylor King have a limited fabric selection for upholstery? A local store in Baltimore County, MD seemed to have much less choice available Thanks in advance for your reply!
You can put any of the 1,500 fabrics that Taylor King shows on the Cozy Creations. I have all the fabrics in my store, an hour away.

Hi Daune
I'm interested in the Taylor King Cozy Creation line. I visited a local dealer and was thoroughly unimpressed with the sales person's knowledge of the product. If you’re able to help me from a far then I'd rather by from you.
Below is a list of what I am looking for but I'm open to other suggestions:
-small scale fabric sofa that goes well with existing arts and crafts oak furniture. I attached a sofa style I like. We live in a small craftsman bungalow and this sofa will go in a room that is 12x12, the sofa wall is 102 inches. Just need enough room for a floor lamp on one end. I was considering the 54inch left arm loveseat & 31.5 inch right arm chaise with track arms.
Questions:
-Can short block legs be done on this line? I have cats that I do not want to be able to crawl under the sofa. They tore the under lining off my current one.
-Need a tightly woven fabric with little texture. The naughty furry duo love to claw anything with a texture. Would like a neutral solid color in the mid tones. Chocolate brown is too dark and linen white too light. Would you be able to send samples that match my criteria?
-Can nail heads be added to the bottom of the sofa as shown in my example attachment? Do you think the nail heads would look good on the L shape sofa I'm thinking of from the Cozy Creation line?
-We sat in a Taylor King sofa with Catalina down. My husband really liked it but I thought it was just a bit too soft. Would spring down be a bit firmer?
-We were hoping to spend no more than $2500. Is this particular sofa in our budget?
-The sofa I'm considering would be 80.5 inches wide due to the track arm, correct? Chaise is 63.5 in depth, right? Do they have any that are 60 inches in depth?
Taylor King is in the middle of changing all these promotional programs and folding them all into one called America's Pride. Everything is somewhat confusing right now with these changes and Cozy Creations will no longer exist.
To answer your questions for the most part.....
* You can customize the legs but that takes you out of any promotional program and puts you in mainstream Taylor King product.
* Yes, you can add nails for an upcharge. I think they can often give a fabric piece a nice custom look.
* Most the time if you prefer a firmer sit you want to move into a Poly-Dacron cushion. Any of the Down sofas will be soft.
* Yes you can get a TK promo sofa for that price range, or less. It's going to be an America's Pride piece, however as Cozy is going away.
Thanks for the info. I just want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly.... I can't order the cozy creation piece I'm thinking of right now even if I wanted to? I have to wait for the new America's Pride line to come out?
I'm also interested in the Taylor King Longfellow sofa but something in a smaller scale, no more than 72 inches long and 38 inches depth. Would they be able to customize something from their smaller scale line to look like the LongFellow or make the Longfellow smaller?
You can probably get exactly what you want but I would need specifics to chase it down for you, including frame numbers and covers.
Normally they can take any Taylor King item (not promotional ones) and make it shorter or longer. They are closed today due to ice on the roads so I can't check with them, but that has been the norm. Customization on frames is costly and will probably put you out of your budget by a significant amount.
