Booth Camp
Booth Camp breaks down how our upholstered booths are built versus imported booths. While many booths appear similar, the internal materials, frames, and support determine how long they actually last. We show what’s inside, from foam and springs to structural components so you can understand why some booths hold up for years while others break down early.
1. 1” thick foam, 1540 Density, CAL 117 rated, creates a firm, comfortable back cushion vs. 3/4" thick low density foam
2. 1/8" thick masonite gives the back strength and rigidity vs. cardboard, paperboard, or fiberboard
3. 3/4" Thick plywood post panels vs. 1/2" thick particle board or MDF
4. 1/8” thick foam adds padding & softens the look of the post panels vs. upholstery stretched directly over plywood or MDF
5. Traditional cotton batting adds an extra layer of padding and helps to create a smooth seat vs. vinyl pulled directly over raw foam
6. 1” thick foam, 1845 Density, CAL 117 rated, creates a comfortable cushion and equal heat transfer vs. no dedicated seat foam, leading to hard spots, heat buildup
7. Sisal padding creates a level, even platform to build up the seat for a smooth, uniform surface vs. no base layer causing unevenness and pressure points
8. Versare pad over the springs isolates the cushion from the steel spring vs. no versare, allowing foam to press directly into the springs, leading to sagging
9. Steel springs with reinforced interlocks provide long-lasting support and comfort vs. foam placed directly on plywood or MDF
10. 1/8” thick foam adds padding & softens the look of the seat base vs. upholstery stretched directly over plywood or MDF
11. 3/4" Thick plywood post panels vs. 1/2" thick particle board or MDF
12. Black ABS plastic kickplate vs. PVC plastic kickplate
13. 7/8" thick solid wood kick base vs. 1/2" thick particle board or MDF
1. Reinforcing corner blocks add stability tothe frame vs. relying only on butt joints and staples, which leads to frame flex, noise, and structural failure
2. One-piece ribs glued and stapled to solid wood rails prevent rocking or breakdown vs. segmented fastened panels attached thin rails, which flex, loosen, and fail over time.
