đź”§ 18 Gauge Back Tension Springs

Back tension springs (18 gauge) are widely used in the backs of recliners, lounge chairs, and classic upholstery builds — most famously found in Parker Knoll furniture.

These springs are thinner and softer than the heavier, plastic-coated seat springs, making them ideal for providing flexible support and gentle resilience in chair and sofa backs.
