What causes these wavy seams? Should it bother me?

I recently bought a new bed for my guest room. But when it arrived I couldn't stop noticing the wavy seams. What can cause this? Should it bother me?

    If it really bothers you, return it. If you think you can live with it, keep it. I think it’s one of those things that are annoying when you first notice it but you soon learn to forget. After all, you probably won’t actually spend much time looking directly at it.

      I’m not sure what you mean. Do you mean the folds/pleats are wonky?

      The stitching isn't straight on the vertical sections, so I'm finding it looks wonky. II don't have any background in upholstery or furniture so I'm not sure if it's normal or not.

      Yes I see what you mean but I’m no expert and wouldn’t be able to say if the ‘waves’ are within reason or not.

      Possibly from a bit further away and in the context of your room and its other furniture it won’t show.

      Maybe it’s an artisan handmade piece? 🙂

      Maybe it’s just the filling inside? Perhaps it will smooth out to be more even when it is leaned up against.

      From a distance you can’t really see the waves. With upholstery it will move by it’s very nature. Depends whether this is a high end bespoke piece or from a bed store as to what to expect.

      It's definitely not bespoke :D But I fell in love with the colour.

      Colour is stunning. Looks great.

      I think this sort of upholstery is made by making deep grooves in the foam padding. The waves may just be from how the fabric is stretched into those grooves, perhaps a bit too much or uneven pull at certain points. Alternately it may be that the grooves have some imperfection in them which translates in the finished product.
