Eight-Way Hand-Tied
In this method a craftsman hand ties each coil spring to the other springs and sofa frame
with twine. The twine crosses the frame from front to back, from side to side, and across
both diagonals, thus creating the “eight ways”.
Sinuous Springs
In this method, two-dimensional “S” shaped wired is run from the front rail to the back
of the seat, spaced every few inches. Support wires cross laterally and provide additional
stability and support... This spring system offers a somewhat softer seat and can be used in
upholstered furniture that sits lower to the ground.
Note: Sinuous Springs are utilized on all PB upholstery.
