Are you sitting comfortably?

Started by stripping the old lining and padding off the old frames. Readjust the springs themselves as they sag a little after 33 years of use.











A single layer of hi density foam to cover the metal springs.












A single layer of soft foam 50mm thick. Then a layer of thick cotton sheet padding to cover and shape the foam a little.




























Then the simple matter of templating your original covers in new vinyl, sewing them together, and hey presto.....new VERY comfortable seats for about £30.
