I'm not referring to the decking material over the springs- I'm talking about the cloths that are glued to the bun that holds them in place while you install the covers.

Some installers would just glue buns like these w/o the install cloths directly to the decking (although you can't really do that if you don't have decking though) and that works too.

TMI embeds steel rods inside their a-body buns that you hogring down to the spring side listing rods to hold them in place, then your cover listings get attached to the rods.
Kind of a PITA to deal with IMO, I've had to open up the bun around the rod in order to catch it consistently, but it does work and it is an interesting idea to improve the overall process.

But the way they were originally installed was by hogringing a canvas cloth glued to the buns around to the back side of the springs holding it all in place. Quick and easy, and the ACI and PUI buns both come with it already glued on.


Not a big deal to do, especially if it turns out these buns are as soft as the ACI ones and at half the price!
