Re: Bradington-Young Spring Cushions
I’m afraid your B-Y salesperson didn’t exactly get it right. They use a number of different cores depending on the frame and what they feel works best in that given frame. Ten years ago they were 100% HR Foam, then they switched to all Spring Down cores (previously an option) as standard across the line. Then they realized that didn’t work that well on everything they make so now it’s a mix. I’d say 70% are Spring Down as standard, 30% HR Foam. They try to select the best core for a given frame rather than one size fits all.
Puddling on any piece of leather furniture, from any maker, with any suspension or core, is unavoidable. If you use the piece, the leather will stretch. The more compressible the cushion, the more puddling. That’s whey button tufted furniture stays taut, there is no cushion per say.
My suggestion is to buy what sits well to you, and don’t get too concerned about leather stretch.
