Spinks Celebrates a Landmark 100th Patent in Spring Innovation
Innovation is at the heart of British manufacturing, and Spinks—a leading spring manufacturer and components supplier within the Harrison Spinks Group—has just reached an incredible milestone. The Yorkshire-based company has secured its 100th global patent, reinforcing its commitment to pushing the boundaries of mattress and furniture design.
This latest patent, awarded for an advanced coil design, is set to shape the future of bedding and seating, proving once again that Spinks is a true pioneer in engineered comfort.
Yorkshire-based business proves dedication to innovation with latest achievement
Richard Essery, Chief Commercial Officer for Spinks, said:
“This is a remarkable achievement for the business – few are able to accomplish such a feat, and we are incredibly proud to be leading the way for innovation within the industry.
“Reaching such a significant milestone proves our true commitment and dedication to innovation, pushing the boundaries of new technologies, products and processes.
“At Spinks we are constantly striving to create new, inventive products that our customers will truly benefit from, and over the years each patent has marked a step forward in our journey to redefine comfort.”
The business submitted its first patent in 1996, for its successful Revolution pocket coil invention – a unique pocket spring within a pocket spring system that offers an unmatched level of comfort and support – which has proved to be one of the company’s most notable and successful creations, and is still widely used around the world.
Spinks has continued to patent various microcoil inventions, including conical designs, miniature coil within coil models, and microcoils that feature fabrics on the top and bottom to provide different thermal characteristics.
The company has also seen success with the introduction of its patent-pending pocket coiling machine, which aims to reduce energy consumption for the business by 60%, as well as minimising raw materials needed in the spring-making process.
Now, in 2025, Spinks is planning to launch a number of new innovations that will again set new standards in coil technology for the furniture and seating industries. These designs – of which international patents have been applied for – include next-generation microcoil and core pocket spring systems, all featuring glue-free constructions.
