In 1934, a congregation from Defiance Ohio met with Erie Sauder, a local woodworker, to discuss wood furnishings for their newly renovated worship environment. Erie agreed to guide them through the process of selecting the furniture that best suited their needs and then produced the furniture to their specifications. After completing the job, Mr. Sauder felt such passion customer satisfaction still guide us each and every day. To date, we have served the furniture needs of over 30,000 congregations like our neighbors in Defiance. We hope that you will find this guide, our materials, website, representatives, and employees a valuable part of selecting the furnishings for your own worship furniture project. For that consideration, we sincerely thank you, and we will work hard to provide you the level of service that our customers have come to expect from the leader in worship furniture. about helping this congregation that he gathered a few friends and relatives to begin a company that could serve the needs of more congregations. That desire became a reality, forming the founding roots of Sauder Worship Seating.

Comfort plays a vital role in making any decision related to seating. We offer a variety of options that not only provide comfort, but great quality as well. Choose from conventional or High Resiliency (HR) foam. The Indentation Force Deflection (IFD) indicates the load bearing capacity of the foam. The larger the number, the more force it takes to compress the foam. Too little force allows someone to bottom out, while too much can give a stiff seating experience. HR is a change to the initial foam manufacturing process to add support, comfort and resilience or bounce to the foam. HR foam by nature is a denser product but has a lower IFD. This combination allows for some additional "give" to the foam resulting in a bit softer feel than conventional foam but helps prevent "bottoming out". Sauder Worship Seating also offers these premium cushion options: Exclusive Spring Seat: Uses a Spring Cartridge System Prevents squeaks common with traditional serpentine springs Provides maximum comfort over the life of the pew Patented Definity Seating: Uses individual seat cushions Gives look of traditional pew while maximizing seating capacity Allows for easy event planning and ticket sales, if desired Is offered with or without wood dividers.

Appendix People Won't Sit the Way You Think They Will When you're at the planning stages of building a new church, or replacing pews in your existing building, you'll want to know how many people your new space will be able to seat. First you'll need to answer this question: how much space will are you going to allow each person to take up? According to code, a 15-foot (180") pew will fit ten people. That s sitting shoulder-to-shoulder for the entire length of the pew. According to research on the way people actually sit, a 15-foot (180") pew will fit only seven people. Building Code Requirements Building code, which is what architects and builders are required to use to determine seating capacity, says to allow 18" of seating per person. To put this into perspective, think about how much room you have in a coach seat of an airplane. Regulation seats actually give you 19" per person. That's pretty close to the person next to you! This chart will help you to determine the number of feet of pews required for the number of people you wish to seat NUMBER OF PEOPLE INCHES PER PERSON 18" 19" 20" 21" 22" 23" 24" 25" 26" 27" 100 150 158 167 175 183 192 200 208 217 225 200 300 317 333 350 367 383 400 417 433 450 300 450 475 500 525 550 575 600 625 650 675 400 600 633 667 700 733 767 800 833 867 900 500 750 792 833 875 917 958 1000 1042 1083 1125 600 900 950 1000 1050 1100 1150 1200 1250 1300 1350 800 1200 1267 1333 1400 1467 1533 1600 1667 1733 1800 1000 1500 1583 1667 1750 1833 1917 2000 2083 2167 2250 2000 3000 3167 3333 3500 3667 3833 4000 4167 4333 4500 3000 4500 4750 5000 5250 5500 5750 6000 6250 6500 6750 4000 6000 6333 6667 7000 7333 7667 8000 8333 8667 9000 FEET OF PEW REQUIRED 18
