Seats with no coils???

[bonita]

Hi, I recently purchased a balloon chair for my first little diy upholstery job.

I looked underneath, took off the fabric and found there to be webbing, some foam but NO springs/coils? l am a complete beginner, so pardon my ignorance, but l thought all chairs required coils?

any advice on what to do from here?

Thanks guys.

Bonita..perhaps post a pic. I'm about to do some first-time upholstery repairs as well. I' am doing an old piano stool (of course, webbing, padding, but no springs...its in a thread under the retoration section) and also need to tackle a cojpe of late 1800's grandfather & grandmother chairs that I am about to fall through!!

You can often find balloon back diners and drop in seats with just webbing and hessian on the top of the frame.

hey mate, these days not alot of chairs have springs its all webbing and foam. For a beginner i wouldnt recommended springs if u dont tie them down to the frame properly u will be doing it again
