Abstract
A furniture product with a leg supported frame has transversely spaced apart tubular side rails with slotted openings in wall faces thereof for receiving the sling edge loops of a web sling which spans the rails to support the weight of a furniture occupant. The side rails have rod-like members, of a cross-sectional configuration larger than the slotted openings, extending through the loops, to retain the loops within the rails. The sling loops include a synthetic plastic fabric core sheet provided with synthetic thermoplastic coats on each side, the core sheet edges forming the loops extending into the slotted openings and around the rod-like members, and then back out the slotted openings to positions terminating in heat welded seam folds of double core sheet thickness lying upon and braced by the rail wall faces. A decorative overcover for the core sheet has edges extending into the slotted openings and around the rod-like members, and then back out the slotted openings to a position underlying the seam folds.
