The chair seat felt low when I bought it but I just thought that was the style of this model.

After a couple days I started to think something was up. I can't remember exactly how many but the seat has either four or five springs. I was able to push down on the seat and could feel the center springs push down a lot further and not spring back compared to the springs at the front or the back of the seat.

When I flipped over the chair, you can unzip the fabric. I could see a split on the foam where the spring was broken and the foam over stretched.

Hey, so I bought a used ekornes stressless chair. Got it home and realized the seat springs were broken. It turns out the seat springs are molded into the seat foam and not replaceable...

Fortunately I found an aftermarket kit and was able carefully cut the foam from the bottom and extract the broken springs. Hooked up the new springs and carefully put everything back together.

Not exactly the best BIFL experience. Glad I got a great deal on the chair but would have preferred if the spring would have been a standard replacement.

I've been using an Arc Teryx Web belt daily for 5 years and it still looks new.
