Bonnell spring units, the classic supporting core of mattresses and sofas, are produced from our high-carbon quality steel wire in heights from 100 mm to 180 mm. They can be shipped either as loose Bonnell coils or as finished Bonnell spring units ready for production. Loose Bonnell coils are loaded on European-standard pallets. Finished units ready for mattress and sofa production are shipped flat-pack pressed or roll-packed, with or without pallets, drawing on KAR-AS's experience. KAR-AS produces Bonnell spring units in custom sizes on customer request.
