Leeds, England-based spring manufacturer Spinks launched four innovations at the Interzum Cologne show May 20-23, with three recognized with Interzum Awards – including the Best of the Best award.
Spinks’ latest microcoil and pocket spring technologies showcase its next-generation approach to comfort innovation, the company notes in a news release. The newly-launched Microlution microcoil took home the Best of the Best accolade — the highest recognition available at the show — while new spring innovations Quadrolution and Micro Copper were each awarded High Product Quality.
Micro Trio, a fourth new product, was also unveiled at the international industry show in Cologne but missed the award entry deadline. Like all Spinks’ technologies, these spring systems were designed and created in-house at the company’s Yorkshire facility to be recyclable without the use of glue.
Products introduced:
- Microlution: the next generation of microcoil technology featuring Spinks’ two-stage approach — two springs working together to provide initial comfort with secondary support in a single layer. The level of comfort and long-term support this patent-pending technology provides has never before been possible within a microcoil layer, according to the news release.
- Quadrolution: an evolution of Spinks’ glueless QuadCore spring technology, this patented, recyclable system, is customizable. Made with two raw materials, Response Coils can be positioned between each group of QuadCore springs to create a secondary support system that then allows for zoning, phased zoning or a firm edge.
- Micro Copper: According to a news release, this microcoil features copper-infused nonwoven fabric, providing antimicrobial and antifungal benefits. The technology uses the hydrophilic nonwoven currently used within medical applications, while the fine-wire microcoils can be positioned close to the mattress or seating application surface, making it useful where hygiene is paramount — such as transportation seating.
- Micro Trio: a microcoil with three active coils transitions from pressure-relieving comfort to adapt to personalized support for every body type.
“This year’s Interzum has been hugely exciting for us,” said Darren Marcangelo, chief commercial officer for Spinks. “To launch four new technologies that set new standards for comfort and performance is a great milestone and to see three of them recognized with one of the most prestigious awards for our industry — including our first ever Best of the Best award — has been a real honor for the team. We’re confident we could have won a fourth, too, if Micro Trio was launched in time.”
“These innovations reflect growing demand from bedding and seating manufacturers for highly customizable solutions and versatile designs,” he continued. “We’re the pioneers of microcoil technology, and we challenged ourselves to deliver even more comfort and support into our range of coils.
“Copper is also a key trend in bedding at present, mainly in the U.S., but European and Asian manufacturers are starting to adopt it, too. Customers want innovative products and want to be able to differentiate — so, we’re responding to that with new innovations that offer high levels of customization, with each developed to give our clients a real competitive advantage.”
The award-winning Micro Copper and Micro Trio is set to be commercially available this year, with Microlution and Quadrolution available in early 2026.
