This is precisely what I was looking for.  Thank you very much Paul.

Hi All,

I purchased and repaired an antique rocking chair for my wife since we are expecting our first child in January.  I now need to reupholster it but have no clue where to begin.  Here are some pictures:

The seat is removable.  My current plan is to remove the existing springs and purchase a 'marshall spring cushion unit' such as this:

I was going to glue 1-inch foam to it on all sides and then see if I could wrap it with some sort of polyester or cotton batting before putting it into the removeable seat and covering it with upholstery.

For the back,  i plan to run seat belt material vertically between all of the cross pieces.  Then tack batting to it before also wrapping it in upholstery.

Does this sound reasonable or should I be doing something completely different?    Instead of the spring unit,  should I be purchasing coil springs such as these:

Thanks!
