Hi all,
A family member asked me to re-make a sprung cushion for a small chair that she's had all her life. I have some experience upholstering furniture with integral springs but have not done sprung cushions before. The original cushion had 2 layers of springs (4" ish X 2) sandwiched together with a thin metal rod around the top and bottom edges. I have some 8" double cone springs so my question is, if I use fabrics to make pockets for the large springs and tie them together, obviously with wadding and a Calico cover, will that work? I'm concerned that I will get lots of lateral movement with the springs not being attached to the chair.
Any insights gratefully received!
Many thanks, Elli
