Where Is 100% Stretch Upholstery Webbing Used?

Sofa Backs

Elasticated back webbing creates a flexible supporting structure beneath sofa back cushions and upholstery padding. Its high degree of stretch allows the backrest to respond to pressure, providing a softer feel than rigid or low-stretch webbing.

Armchairs and Lounge Chairs

Suitable for upholstered chair backs, this 50mm webbing provides a flexible foundation that supports the padding while allowing comfortable movement when the chair is occupied.

Upholstered Furniture Arms

Where specified by the original furniture construction, elasticated webbing can be fitted beneath upholstered arms to provide support without creating an unnecessarily rigid surface.

Furniture Restoration and Repairs

Older furniture may suffer from stretched, damaged or detached webbing. Replacing deteriorated upholstery webbing can help restore the original support and comfort of sofas, armchairs and other upholstered furniture.

Understanding 100% Stretch Upholstery Webbing

The 100% stretch rating refers to the webbing's elongation capability. It does not mean the material should be stretched to twice its original length during installation.

Because furniture backs and arms generally require more flexibility than seating foundations, high-stretch webbing is particularly suited to these applications.

For seat bases, firmer webbing is normally recommended to provide the necessary support under direct body weight.

Choosing the Correct Upholstery Webbing

Different stretch ratings provide different levels of furniture support.

• 50mm Jumbo Seat Webbing, 10% Stretch, low-stretch webbing for firmer seating support.
• Elasticated Seat Webbing, 50% Stretch, a more flexible alternative for upholstered seating.
• 100% Stretch Back Webbing, made for softer, more flexible support in upholstered backs and arms.

How to Fit Elasticated Upholstery Back Webbing

Begin by removing the damaged or worn webbing and checking the timber frame for loose joints, damage or deteriorated fixing points.

Secure one end of the webbing to the furniture frame using suitable upholstery staples or tacks. Apply controlled tension before fastening the opposite end, following the original furniture construction where possible.

The Beech Webbing Stretcher is designed to grip compatible flexible webbing up to 50mm wide, helping achieve consistent tension during installation.

Where required, webbing strips can be interwoven to create a supporting lattice beneath the upholstery padding.

Avoid excessive stretching, as incorrect installation tension may affect the finished comfort and support.
