11 Gauge Superloop Upholstery Back Springs, 20" to 26"

Flexible, Comfortable Spring Support for Sofas and Chairs

The 11 Gauge Superloop Upholstery Springs are specifically made for upholstered sofa and chair backs, where a softer, more flexible spring system is required.

Manufactured from approximately 2.95mm diameter spring wire, these 11-gauge Superloop springs feature larger and deeper loops than conventional zigzag springs. This distinctive construction allows greater flexibility under pressure, providing the softer, more responsive support particularly suited to upholstered backrests.

Available in four lengths from 20" to 26", these springs are suitable for furniture repairs, reupholstery and new furniture manufacture.

Spring length	Approximate metric length
20 inches	508mm

All four lengths are available individually or in packs of 50, making them suitable for small repairs and larger upholstery projects.

Important: Always measure an existing undamaged spring and check the fixing span, spring profile and required installation tension before ordering. The spring's nominal length should not be assumed to equal the distance between the furniture frame rails.

The Importance of Correct Spring Fixings and Bracing

A properly installed Superloop spring system relies on more than the springs themselves.

Compatible spring clips are needed to retain the spring ends securely against the furniture frame. Where specified in the original construction, suitable bracing components can also help maintain spring spacing and reduce excessive independent movement.

For a complete installation, consider:

• Plastic Covered Spring Clips, for retaining compatible spring ends while helping reduce unwanted squeaking.
• Paper Wrapped Stakewire, for bracing suitable spring systems and reducing metal-to-metal contact.
• Tension Spring Hooks, for connecting neighbouring springs where the furniture construction requires them.

Not all fixing and bracing components are interchangeable, so always check compatibility with the existing system.

Cutting and Forming Replacement Springs

When replacing upholstery springs, it may be necessary to cut a spring to the required length and recreate the formed end so it seats correctly within its retaining clip.

The C. S. Osborne No. 404 Spring End Former is a specialist upholstery tool made for forming suitable cut zigzag spring ends.

This is particularly useful for upholstery workshops undertaking regular furniture spring repairs.

Always confirm tool compatibility with the spring gauge and profile before use.
