Tension springs are used for backs or seats. can be cut to size, and new hook bent into shape. Tension springs are usually 10% shorter than the width of the seat frame, however this depends on how firm you want the spring. To use on backs, use a slightly longer spring for extra softness.
Easily hooked onto staples, eyes or trunkplates.
Tension springs: These are often found on mid century chairs. The springs are approx 10% smaller that the frame span so that the spring stretches across. For a tight seat (ie: foam and fabric is stapled onto the frame) cover the springs with hessian before adding the foam. For a loose seat (ie: you have loose cushion seating), cover the springs with quilted lining. Tension springs are measured from 'inside the hook' to 'inside the hook'.
Trunk plate sold separately.
