FAQs
Upholstered back seating is FurnitureLab's comfort-forward chair and stool collection, designed with a little extra coziness in mind. Every model in the category has an upholstered back that adds soft support for the spine, on top of the standard seat upholstery. Use it where users sit for longer stretches: corporate cafes, education libraries, healthcare common areas, hospitality dining, and military or government breakrooms.
Upholstered backs and seats take the full FurnitureLab upholstery palette: contract textiles, Omnova Boltaflex Colorguard NFR vinyl, and any contract-grade fabric or vinyl you'd like graded in. Back and seat can match for a uniform look, or contrast for a two-tone accent. Coordinate with Booths upholstery and Table Tops finishes for a unified room.
Upholstered backs win on comfort and sound dampening (soft surfaces absorb a little noise in a hard-floor room). Hard backs and perforated polypropylene backs win on cleanability, weight, and lifespan in heavy-cleaning environments. If a room sees long sitting sessions, go upholstered. If it sees high turnover and aggressive cleaning, go hard or poly.
Yes, when spec'd correctly. Boltaflex Colorguard NFR vinyl is the go-to for healthcare and food-service settings because it wipes clean with hospital-grade disinfectants and resists stains and microbial growth. Your Account Manager will recommend the right vinyl or textile based on your cleaning protocols and traffic level.
