Behind every sofa, there’s a story.

Next time you sit down on a Sklar Peppler sofa, here’s something to consider; the true measure of a great piece of furniture is the work that goes into it and the thinking behind it. We can tell you that every one of our sofas is the inspired result of over sixty years of experience in making fine furniture. It’s the result of constant refinement, technological advances in manufacturing and a strong belief in the virtues of old world craftsmanship.

Take a closer look at a Sklar Peppler sofa and you’ll see what we mean. There’s an attention to detail, to the fine points of construction, design and tailoring that set it apart from furniture of similar value. What you can’t see is how it’s built – but we can help you with that. Here’s the inside story on what makes Sklar Peppler the best seat in the house.

Sklar Peppler - The Inside Story.
A great sofa starts with a strong frame – in our case, strong enough to last for years to come. We make our own high performance frames, combining state-of-the-art machinery with traditional furniture-making techniques.

Each frame is constructed with Engineered Hardwood – a material which because of its absolute uniformity, actually improves upon nature. Unlike natural wood, Engineered Hardwood will not split, crack or warp. High moisture content can really damage a frame. That’s why we kiln dry our Engineered Hardwood to less than 5% moisture content vs. 15% in standard wood frames.

The actual construction is yet another opportunity to reinforce the overall strength. Sklar Peppler uses a unique interlocking frame construction with every Mortise and Tenon joint glued and fastened for extra strength and durability. No wonder our frames come with a lifetime warranty!

Spring into Comfort
Ever wonder why some sofas are more comfortable than others? First take a look under the seat – in a Sklar Peppler sofa, there is a padded deck under each individual seat. The effect is to create a sofa where each seat has its own foundation and set of springs – almost like a connected series of individual armchairs.

An extra degree of personalized comfort is provided by our two different types of spring systems: the premium 1800 SX Series seating support system and the ‘No-Sag’ spring system – featured in our 1200 SL Series sofas. The idea behind each of these technologies is to create a seat with a high degree of comfort, which maintains its loft and firmness over years of use.

Our patented 1800 SX Series spring construction enhances the effect of truly independent seating:
-1800 SX Series uses patented springs of heat tempered carbon steel – attached separately beneath each seat for added strength and support
-Springs help to provide an equal level of support for anyone who sits on the sofa – regardless of their body weight
-Quad-Z-Coil centres work to balance the overall ‘ride’ of each seat and enhance the level of comfort

Maximum Cushion Support
The quality of the cushion is critical to overall comfort. Our Sklar Peppler cushions give you more support where you need it most – and are intelligently designed to mold to your actual body shape.

We use the latest technology in foam production to create dense polyfoam cores with heightened resiliency. This allows each cushion to quickly spring back to its original shape after being compressed. The unique characteristics of this foam also mean that it will “push back” against weight at a gradually increasing rate. So two people of different weights can sit on a Sklar Peppler cushion, and both will receive the same level of support.

Our Sklar Peppler cushions ensure greater comfort than any conventional cushion. Each Sklar Peppler cushion features a polyfoam core layered with flexible shape retention foam and then wrapped with polyester fibres. The end result is superior support in a cushion that will keep its crisp, new appearance and shape for years to come.

Outstanding Tailoring and Design
It takes more than technology to make a sofa beautiful. And this is where Sklar Peppler’s experience in traditional furniture-making rises to the forefront. You can see it in the tailored skirts, arms and backs of our sofas and chairs. There’s an attention to detail at every turn: precisely matched fabrics, smooth edge banding and perfectly padded cushions. Count on Sklar Peppler to deliver true designer excellence; we’ll keep you sitting pretty in style and comfort for years to come.
