What role does the 'elastic band' mentioned in the Settle Sofa description play?
While looking at the detailed sofa description, I became curious about why an elastic band is included in addition to the S-springs. I want to check what practical use the band actually serves within the seat cushion.
While the springs provide firm support so that the seat cushion does not sag downward, the elastic band helps evenly distribute the weight applied when sitting so it does not lean to one side.
An elastic band refers to a band made by densely weaving rubber components and elastic fibers. In furniture manufacturing generally, while steel S-springs strongly push the load upward to prevent the seat from sagging, the flexibly stretching band serves to spread the weight widely.
The two materials divide their roles. flat point's SETTLE SOFA (fabric) features S-springs to prevent the seat cushion from sagging, and elastic bands are also applied to help distribute weight and prevent leaning[1]. In effect, a frame that maintains resilience with firm elasticity and a cushioning material that evenly receives body weight support the seat cushion together[2].
Detailed assembly methods, such as the specific width of the elastic band or the spacing between arrangements, have not yet been confirmed in the official materials.
