Filler
A high-quality and properly packed sofa will not only be comfortable for relaxing or sleeping, but will also last much longer. In the manufacture of upholstered furniture, filler from spring blocks is often used, which makes it not only comfortable, but also durable. Many springs are individual blocks, which, in turn, are located in separate cells. Such a filling system is ideal for a simple holiday, and for a berth. In more cost-effective options, the spring blocks are fastened in a one-piece design and move synchronously.
