General
We use a Stamina Fibre that we call natures clone because it is the closest thing to a synthetic down. StaminaFibre™ is a unique, patented filler with all the well-known advantages of down and none of its drawbacks. StaminaFibre is a true down alternative.
The only pillow, dog bed and bedding on the market that is designed to be washed frequently. StaminaFibre will out-last most other products on the market. We recommend you wash your pillows, dog beds and bedding once a month.
StaminaFibre is a proprietary blend of polyethylene and polypropylene, which is then processed through our custom-made Hammermill machine which gives StaminaFibre the feel and performance of Down.
All Alcorn designer products are proudly handcrafted in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
Our pillows/beds/bedding are guaranteed to return to the original shape after washing. We will replace your product at no charge should your pillow fail to recover after washing. The Alcorn Collection are the only truly washable products on the market. Please note Alcorn Home retains the right to have the final say if they believe that the laundering instructions were not adhered to, or there is unusual damage that is not consistent with normal wear.

Many factors influence our sleep but two of the most important factors are what we rest our heads on and what we cover ourselves with. A pillow must be soft, yet provide adequate support for the head and neck; and a duvet must be light, yet warm. Many people seem to think that this kind of comfort is only possible with down.
From within, our fibre bridges the comfort gap between natural and synthetic, creating innovative and comfortable solutions for bedding, body support, decorative pillows and upholstery cushions.

An Engineered inter-lock frame is used. Structural strength is a must so this style of frame has vertical part construction, solid side panels, modulus of elasticity, minimum number of joints which decreases joint failure, I-Beam construction, oriented stran board with extra strength made exclusively with hardwoods. As well the frames had temperature variance to help eliminate problems that can occur with temperature and humidity change, no warping, bowing, twisting and splitting.
Our standard seating is made up of heavy gauge no sag springs. Each spring is spaced no more than 4" apart and linked together laterally so they work in concert to provide a consistent seat. To ensure an even seating at the edges of the sofa we use 2 heavier gauge springs spaced 2" apart.
For the ultimate in long lasting comfort we offer the traditional eight way hand tied web & coil seating. In this time honoured method, heavy duty coil springs are tied by hand in a web with eight knots per spring linking each spring to the next. This method relieves stress on critical points in the frame ensuring unrivaled quality comfort and longevity.

All of our furniture is bench made and each piece of furniture is upholstered by the hands of one artisan from start to completion. Our craftsmen work on one piece at a time and take great pride in their work. Fine upholstery is an art form that is developed and acquired over years of training and experience. Much like a well tailored suit, fine upholstery is in the finer details and can only be appreciated by discerning eyes.
Once your custom furniture order is placed, please allow 4-6 weeks for Canadian orders, and 6-8 weeks for Continental U.S. orders.
