Panelists inspected the springs and frames to determine if they can endure regular use. They also assessed the frame's durability, noting whether it squeaked or popped when they moved it or adjusted. They also jumped on couches, listening for any springs that snapped or popped, and sat in them for hours, testing out their comfort. They also ran any cushions they could wash through a cycle to see if there was shrinkage or misshapedness.
