Your Complete Guide to Stationary Upholstered Furniture Warranties

When you’re shopping for a new sofa, sectional, or accent chair, you’re probably thinking about comfort, style, and how it will look in your space. But there’s another factor that can be just as important if not more important over time — your manufacturer warranty.

At Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet, we believe in helping you make informed decisions by providing all the details up front so there are no surprises later. Whether you’re considering a custom-upholstered sofa, a leather accent chair, or a massive modular sectional, knowing what is covered (and for how long) may be the deciding factor in the seemingly endless comparisons of this one vs that one. The right warranty package can give you peace of mind and make all the difference.

Below, you’ll find a transparent, brand-by-brand breakdown of the warranties on the stationary upholstery we carry (i.e. any upholstered seating that doesn’t recline, rock, glide, swivel or convert into a sleeper). This list highlights the most common warranty terms, but be sure to read each brand’s full policy to understand all the details, exclusions, and requirements.

But First, A Few Notes About Furniture Warranties

Before we get into the warranties for each specific motion and reclining upholstery brand below, please keep a few things in mind. As a general rule:

• Most manufacturer warranties in our industry only cover manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, not normal wear and tear or accidental damage.
  
  
• Damage from using furniture in a way other than intended by the manufacturer, lack of routine care, or abuse is almost always excluded from warranty guarantees.
  
  
• Most furniture manufacturers will tell you that their products are made for personal and/or residential use. As a result, commercial use is typically excluded under most warranties.
  
  
• Coverage periods vary by manufacturer and also vary depending on the component in question. For instance, frames and other components like mechanisms and springs often carry longer warranties than cushions, upholstery leathers or upholstery fabrics.
  
  
• Warranties typically apply only to the original purchaser and require proof of purchase.
