I did get some of the wrapped wire...but I used it to tie across the bottom springs to keep them in line.....
I got clamps that were supposed to clamp the wire to the springs but they were too big.
I ended up just wrapping the wire around the zigzag springs....it seems to work OK.
Here you can see the paper wrapped wire....maybe should have used a couple more? I'm not an upholstery guy...
