Seat refurb recommendations (bolsters, padding + springs refurb not leather/vinyl repair)

[MJL944]

Hello all,
Can I have some recommendations for anyone who knows what they're doing regarding stripping and refurbishing the frames, springs, padding, bolsters, foam and general innards of a standard 944S2 electric seat.
Just to be clear, I'm not just after someone who can repair or recolour the leather, vinyl and piping of the seat covers but someone who can get the insides nice and firm and plump again, using correct/suitable materials.

I have standard original Marine Blue Vinyl/Leatherette seats with full leather centre insets and the 2 button electric motors option. After over 202,500 miles, and as a testament to the original build quality, the leather, vinyl and piping are all in excellent condition with no tears, cracks, splits and very little colour fading.
However, the insides of the right thigh bolster area feels well past it's plump best and it's not as comfortable as it should be. I feel as though the seat base is falling away to the right slightly too so some springs under my backside will be past their best too. Worst of all there's a hugely irritating and almost constant creak from the right side seat squab that indicates another spring inside that area is rubbing against something it shouldn't be as the insides become worn and break down.

Recommendations for someone who knows what they're doing in or around the East Midlands would be ideal but I am prepared to send off the seat to anyone in the UK as long as they know what they're doing and can use appropriate materials to bring the insides of the seat to their former glory.

Many thanks for any recommendations,

Mark.

Southbound trimmers will do the work but I don't think they are in your part of the world but worth giving them a call,,,, jasonp

Thanks Jason.
Yes, sorry, I should have said I am aware of Southbound and their excellent reputation.
I'm also aware that they're not cheap and there's usually also quite a wait to use their services.
Hopefully some additional choices can get put forward here.
Thanks,
Mark

Excellent, thanks. Wasn't aware of this guy. Will pop over to see him soon. Looks like a VW fan so should be used to refurbing and fitting 944 seats into Campers which seems to be a popular upgrade amongst that fraternity.

The links to previous threads contain some interesting info, thanks gents. I just do not have the patience or hand coordination to try anything like this myself. The extra layer of foam on the seat base is an excellent idea.

Any more recommendations anyone?

Ta,
Mark
