    • What are Spring Units?

      Seat Spring Units are pre-assembled spring bases designed to save time in upholstery builds. Instead of installing and tying individual springs, these ready-made units deliver strength, comfort, and durability straight into your project. They’re widely used in both new furniture and reupholstery work, offering consistent performance and faster installation.
