Know before you buy
The Forest Hill features a manual recline mechanism activated by a pull latch located on the side of the seat. It is a straightforward, mechanical system that does not require an electrical power source.
Yes, the Forest Hill is specifically designed with a small-scale footprint, measuring 81 inches wide. Its clean lines and track arm design help it fit into tighter living spaces without feeling overly bulky.
The seat cushions use a high-resiliency, high-density foam core wrapped in polyester for a balance of comfort and durability. They are supported by a heavy-gauge sinuous spring suspension system, which provides a consistent, firm foundation that resists sagging over time.
No, the sofa comes with integrated, hidden plastic glides on the base. These are designed to protect your flooring from scratches and scuffs when the piece is moved.
