Max. load
The maximum load for which the product is designed, in other words, the maximum weight that it can be guaranteed to withstand without breaking. It is impossible to exceed this indicator: even if the structure does not break immediately, it can happen at any time.
The maximum load is selected taking into account the number of people for which the product is designed. At the same time, in multi-seat models, the weight of each individual person is taken with a significant margin — for example, a three-seat swing can have a limit
of more than 300 kg, which allows even people of massive build to use furniture safely. However, anyway, compliance with the load will not hurt to clarify separately, and with a large user weight, this is especially true.
Filler thickness
The thickness of the filler used in the complete swing mattress.
With the same material (see “Mattress filler”), a
thicker mattress is softer, sitting through it does not feel the same way; this is especially important if metal mesh or springs are used as a support (see "Seat"). On the other hand, greater thickness has a corresponding effect on weight, price and ease of movement. Therefore, manufacturers in each case try to choose the thickness in such a way as to achieve the optimal ratio between these moments, and in general, this characteristic is more of a reference than practically significant.
Profile thickness
The thickness of the profile used in the frame of the product, in other words, is the thickness of the main parts from which the frame is made.
Ceteris paribus, a
thicker profile is more durable, reliable and massive (and therefore stable), but also more expensive and inconvenient to transport.
