Spring Cushion

Description

• Firm and supportive: The springs provide a stable and firm base, which is ideal for those who prefer a harder sit.
• Responsive and springy: They offer a quick rebound and a bouncy feel, providing a responsive seating experience.
• High support: Spring cushions provide excellent support and are well-suited for prolonged sitting.
• High tensile springs: Many are built with high-tensile springs for long-term use and durability. 

• Durable and long-lasting: With quality construction, spring cushions are durable and have a long lifespan.
• Quality varies: Durability is highly dependent on the quality of the materials used, such as heavy gauge steel coils.
• Individual pocketed springs: Features like individual pocket springs are designed for prolonged use, with each spring encased in its own pocket to provide better motion separation, a more custom feel, and enhanced support.
• Potential for wear: Over time, springs can weaken, sag, or creak.
• Protective layers: To prevent discomfort, springs are typically wrapped in foam, padding, or fiber, and the entire unit should be well-padded to create a smooth seating surface. 

Other features of spring cushion

• Can be combined with other materials: Some designs blend springs with foam, down, or fiber to create a combination of support and softness.
• Breathable: The open construction of springs can facilitate air circulation, making them breathable and helping to regulate temperature.
• Can be rotated/flipped: Like other cushions, they can be rotated or flipped to distribute wear and help them maintain their shape over time. 

• Fluff and pat down cushions: To redistribute the fillings, such as foam or feathers that surround the springs, regularly fluff and plump your cushions. This is especially important for cushions with a feather and spring combination, as the feathers can easily clump.
• Rotate and flip: To ensure even wear and tear, rotate and flip your spring cushions every one to two weeks. This prevents permanent indentations from uneven weight distribution and helps maintain the cushion’s firmness and shape.
• Vacuum regularly: Use an upholstery brush attachment to vacuum along the seams and surfaces of your cushions. This removes dust, dirt, and allergens that can settle into the fabric and accelerate wear. 

• Spot clean spills immediately: If a spill happens, blot the stain with a clean cloth immediately, working from the outside of the stain inward. Use a solution of mild detergent and water, testing it on a hidden area first to ensure it won’t damage the fabric. Avoid rubbing, which can push the stain deeper into the fibers.
• Deep clean removable covers: If your spring cushions have removable covers, check the care label for washing instructions. Most can be machine-washed on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Air-dry the covers to prevent shrinking.
• Use baking soda for odors: To freshen up your cushions, sprinkle baking soda over the surface. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes before vacuuming it up. For a stronger deodorizer, air the cushions outside on a dry, sunny day.
• Hire a professional: For a very deep clean, set-in stains, or cushions without removable covers, consider professional upholstery cleaning. 

• Protect from sun and moisture: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can fade and weaken fabric, so place your furniture away from direct sun or use curtains. Also, avoid excess moisture, which can cause mildew growth inside the cushion.
• Add plywood support: If you start to feel the springs or boards, you can add a sheet of plywood under the cushions as a temporary fix to add firmness.
• Repair or replace: Over time, the springs can break or become less resilient. If your cushions are no longer comfortable or supportive, you may need to have the springs or foam core replaced by a professional
