Tech/Engineering - Furniture / Household Appliances | | English term or phrase: star-lashed | The full sentence is:
The star–lashed hour glass springs take much longer to position and secure than a pre-fabricated unit, but the springs are able to move independently for the correct support and comfort.
It is from a website of a producer of beds.
Can anybody help?? Thank you! |

Just some descriptions that might help.
These springs are then “star-lashed” with eight points of attachment to stop lateral movement, after which a hessian cover is pulled over, hard edges are padded with horsehair and the base is covered with ticking.

Soon ABC will begin carrying beds made by Heal's of London, the bespoke tailors of the industry. The ticking is linen or cotton-linen damask. The teased-out hair filler comes from cattle and horses "of the highest quality," as the Heal's brochure soothingly puts it. The wool filler comes from Sussex sheep, and the springs, tucked into cloth pockets (a k a Hessian pockets), are "star-lashed" with eight knots of polished flax cord.
