Lounge Seating — Expert Answer
How long should commercial lounge seating last?
Well-specified commercial lounge seating lasts 7–15 years in normal office use. Durability is determined by: frame construction (solid hardwood or steel frames outlast engineered wood by 3–5 years); foam quality (minimum 1.8 lb/cu ft density high-resilience foam retains shape longer than softer foam); fabric abrasion resistance (minimum 50,000 double rubs for high-traffic areas); and spring system (eight-way hand-tied coil springs in premium upholstered units are more durable than sinuous wire springs). Seating in waiting rooms or high-traffic lobbies will wear faster than seating in executive lounges.
