Rubber Webbing Worn Out in Your Heirloom Charles Webb Richardson Sofa?
Rubber webbing oxidizes. The rubber webbing in Charles Webb sofas regularly wears out within ten years and unfortunately Charles Webb Furniture closed in 2007. So what are loyal Charles Webb customers' options if they want to keep using their Richardson Sofas, Loveseats and Chairs?
Several of our customers brought us this question, along with their worn-out Charles Webb sofa "drop-in" oak deck frames visible in the photo above. Now we have developed a wonderful answer!
Bedworks has found the source of a new, marvelous resilient hi-tech deck material for sofas and chairs. This material is amazingly resilient yet does not oxidize like rubber webbing. It lasts a lifetime. It is a patented deck material based on the elastomeric properties of high strength polyester monofilament. It reduces frame stress, offers better comfort, is more highly soil and stain resistant, and has outstanding heat and age resistance qualities compared to conventional webbing products. It surpasses all government and business technical requirements, including FNE 83-258-B and BIFMA. Indeed, its manufacturer tested it with a 150 lb deadweight from a 2" height . . . up and down, up and down, up and down. It surpassed 550,000 cycles still going strong, with only a 4.6% load bearing loss.
We did the math. If you sit on your Charles Webb sofa 15 times a day, our hi-tech decking will last you for more than 100 years. If this material had existed when his Richardson Sofa was designed, we think Charles Webb would have used it too.
If you would like a quote, please give us a call. Your Charles Webb Richardson furniture will be comfortable again and last many years more with this high-tech resilient decking. Bedworks can be reached at 617-547-6000, from 11AM to 6PM EST, Tuesday through Saturday.
