What sort of frame should I look for in my leather furniture?

First, look at the suspension system in the seat cushions. Do they have inner-springs? Some leather furniture makers save a few dollars by leaving out the springs. Instead, they'll insert a slab of foam (see the description of foam in cushions, which follows shortly). At first owners don't notice a difference in a cushion without springs. But over time, their cushions don't spring back as quickly -- or at all -- when they get up. It's nice to leave behind a good impression, but not on your seat cushions!
