After perusing this forum, I've learned a lot about furniture and am ready to make a sofa purchase. While I know that 8 way hand tied coiled is the best for cushions, it's just not in the price range at this stage in life. So I'm choosing between two sofas. The one that I like most uses an elastic webbing suspension whereas the one that I like a little less uses a sinuous springs system. The former is actually more expensive than the latter.

There really isn't much posted on elastic webbing technology versus coils or sinuous springs. The salesman insists that sinuous is better (which is the system used in the less expensive sofa). Anyone have any insight or advice? Would it be a poor decision to choose a sofa with the elastic webbing?
