Pews

After seven decades of experience in building and installing solid wood furniture for worship facilities, we have a pretty good understanding of your needs. One of the unique features all Sauder pews have is an exclusive contoured seat instead of the typical flat board for noticeably superior comfort. Because you are individual in your needs, Sauder doesn't make a one-size-fits-all pew. It is customized for you. The full range of pew body styles, ends, accessories, finishes and fabrics Sauder offers is sure to meet your needs. And the Sauder 25-year warranty is your assurance of lasting value.

Definity

Definity seating does just that - it defines an individual space and provides the maximum comfort in spacing on pews. People naturally try to put distance between themselves when filling in a standard pew. Definity helps bring people together - comfortably. Here are some of the main benefits and features when you choose our exclusive Definity Seating option:

Predictably maximizes your seating capacity
Fits all Sauder pew styles and pew end designs
Available with wood dividers if desired
Optimum use of your seating space without confining people with armrests
Seats can be numbered for special events
Ushers can see exactly how many seats are available
Removable cushions make cleanup and re-upholstery a snap.
Allows for more fabric options than standard pews

Pew Bodies

Sauder offers a full range of wood pew bodies, pew ends, material choices, accessories, finishes, and fabrics to fit a wide variety of seating needs. All of our pews have ergonomically contoured seats for maximum comfort.

Seat Options
Sauder offers you several choices when it comes to the seat foam. There are several standard thicknesses, an option for high-resiliency and even a spring seating option. In addition to our standard seat depth of 16", a deeper seat depth of 18" is also available.

Back Options
Sauder offers the choice of three options of back cushions. 1 ½" flat, ergonomic wedged and a 2-piece ergonomic back. Our High-Back design is available in all Sauder body styles. This design feature, especially useful in pitched balconies, extends the backs of the pews higher for safety and to help provide modesty screening
