Zig Zag Springs 8.5 gauge
Zig Zag Springs (also known as No-sag or Serpentine springs are used a lot in modern furniture Above is a mock up of a correctly sprung seat. A minimum of 5 springs should be used under each seating area i.e. chair = 5 springs, 2 seater sofa =10 springs. However the more springs used the firmer the seat. When the springs are fitted across the seat they should be almost flat with just a slight dome upwards and all the springs should then be tied into place with laid cord, three rows across a normal size seat. This makes the springs act as a unit instead of individually, which can cause them to break easily. The springs are then covered with hessian and a paddingwe recommend Typar Felt for this as it is very strong and easy to use. The seat can then be covered with calico and/ or your top cover. The springs are stocked in standard sizes but can be easily cut with a hacksaw if you need to adjust the size.
