Eight-way Hand-tied Spring SystemThe eight-way hand-tied system and full web bottom is characteristic of high quality furniture and is traditionally the best known technique for insuring long lasting comfort. Whittemore-Sherrill mounts a solid interlace web bottom of each frame. Springs of various gauges and heights are securely attached to the full web bottom using clinch fasteners. The individual spring coils are hand-tied and bound together in eight separate directions using polyester cording. The cording is then securely anchored to the frame. A typical lawson style back has sinuous wire springs anchored to the frame and held together horizontally by coated wire to prevent turning.
