Sherrill Construction

Since 1944, Sherrill Furniture Company and its divisions have supplied custom home furnishings to Major Furniture Stores and Major Department Stores throughout the United States and Canada.

With skill and care, Sherrill blends traditional American hand craftsmanship such as 8-way hand tied springs with modern manufacturing methods. The result is unparalleled custom-made upholstery to fit most any need. Styling follows those same principles by combining timeless design elements with exciting contemporary touches to create one-of-a kind upholstery that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Frame Construction

Each frame is precisely cut and hand assembled.

Double dowels are utilized in all structural parts to form sturdy, long lasting joints.

To complete construction and add stability to the frame, large precisely cut corner blocks are positioned at each corner where the greatest stress occurs using both glues and screws.

8-way Hand-tied Spring System: Sherrill mounts a solid interlace web bottom to each frame. Springs of various gauges and heights are securely attached to the full web bottom using clinch fasteners.

Back Construction

Polypropylene covering is used over the 8-way hand-tied springs and the sinuous wire spring backs as a protective shield and to provide a substantial base for various filling materials.  A typical Lawson style back has sinuous wire springs anchored to the frame and held together horizontally by coated wire to prevent turning.  Marshall units are used when thickness of back and styling permits.

Fabric Cutting & Sewing

Specialized cutters take particular care using individual patterns to create the proper pattern flow.  Specialized technicians perform various sewing tasks using the finest available sewing thread, sewn seven stitches to the inch to assure more durable seams and trouble free wear. Generous layers of polyester batting and cotton are used in conjunction with urethane foam to achieve just the right contour and comfort.

Cushions

At Sherrill the standard cushion filling is U-D, a high density reinforced urethane core. Also available is Super UD filling, a high resiliency urethane with 2-1/3 ounce fiber. Both cushions are encased in a sewn casing. Other cushion filling options are spring-down, comfort-down and comfort-fiber. Sherrill offers loose pillow back options fiber-down and Shertrel (standard).

Upholstery

Sherrill is as careful applying a fabric as you are selecting one for your home.  Each piece is painstakingly hand-tailored by specialized technicians who have spent years perfecting their trade.

Inspection

Sherrill’s higher standard of quality is assured by thorough inspections throughout the manufacturing process. Skilled inspectors inspect frame, fabric, cutting, sewing and upholstery. After a final inspector carefully checks each piece one more time, Sherrill seals in the quality by custom packing each piece prior to shipping.
