[QUOTE="painman, post: 376155, member: 1114"] FredW, I looked at their website and it says it does have the flat metal spring system that aids in support. I stand corrected. Basically its one piece of flat-spring steel that is found in some home furniture and some auto seating to help support the seat. Its molded into the foam thus thats why you probablly can't feel it. I just remember reading somewhere that they were no longer using the spring. Personally I think the spring is a good idea but is really not needed nor does it do that much with the new type of foams in use now. I think they use the spring to help keep the shape of the wings. I used no spring in my seat that I made and it has wings with none to very little give and I can ride all day without any problems from the seat. There is quite enough support even for the wings. The goal of a good seat maker is to make a seat that is so good you don't think about it while riding. If your seat is giving you problems your thinking about your seat because of the discomfort and your mind is not on the ride. You could call them if concerned though. PM. <>< :D [/QUOTE]
