Eight-Way Hand-Tied
Eight-way hand-tied suspension is the traditional premium sofa build: steel coils tied to each other and the frame by hand, in eight directions, producing an even, durable, slightly springy seat. It is labor-intensive and appears mostly in high-end pieces. Well-executed sinuous springs rival it for most bodies at far lower cost, so treat it as a quality signal, not a requirement.
