The upholstery materials, such as fabrics, foams, and padding, are then carefully selected and cut to size before being meticulously attached to the frame using specialized techniques like sewing, stapling, or gluing. The final assembly may also involve the addition of decorative elements, such as tufting or piping, to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the finished product.
