Thermostat which way?

I feel stupid. I removed my old thermostat and was so busy cleaning and catching fluid I for got which way it came out. I think the spring side goes toward the head? Is that right?

The element side goes toward the engine so the hot coolant will cause the thermostat to open. This is the side that is larger, measured from the mounting flange.
