Know before you buy
The Norwood features a simple, side-mounted pull latch. When engaged, the mechanism smoothly extends the full chaise-style footrest, allowing you to recline to your preferred position.
Yes, the full chaise design eliminates the gap between the seat and the footrest. This provides continuous, uninterrupted support from your seat down to your heels.
The seats are built with a high-resiliency, high-density foam core supported by heavy-gauge sinuous springs. This combination is designed to offer a plush, sink-in feel while maintaining its shape and support over time.
While the sofa measures 40 inches in depth, you should allow for approximately 12 to 18 inches of clearance from the wall to allow the back to fully tilt into the reclined position.
The frame is constructed using a combination of engineered wood, hardwood, and softwood. All joints are pinned and glued to ensure structural integrity and stability for everyday lounging.
The pillow-back design features extra padding integrated into the back cushions. This provides targeted lumbar and upper-back support, creating a softer, more cushioned feel compared to a tight-back sofa.
