I am working on an old spring couch which has old horse hair for stuffing under the cotton, its dirty and falling apart. 

Any suggestions for replacement materials?

Thanks

Thank you all for your  recommendations. 
I have striped the couch down to its frame so now I will try to attach the springs as suggested.  I do have many upholstry books and training videos that I have bought from this website over the past several years. 

thanks again for your valuable information

I have an old spring couch that needs some attention to the springs.  I have removed the old webbing and am now tying the rows of springs.  My question is after tying I will replace the webbing very tight to push the bottom of the springs even with the frame of the couch, is this correct?  Before taking this couch apart if you sat on it it sunk very low and was difficult to get out of.  I love this couch so I hope there is a solution to this problem.
Thanks in advance.
