Default Bay Area Upholstery Shop - Sagging Seat

My 1992 LS 400 has a sagging driver's seat. The leather is in decent condition with no tears but seat seems to bottom out. The rear left part of the seat is sagging. Anyone know of a shop that can stuff the seat or tighten up the seat spring. I am located in San Mateo.

correct me, but can't you just stuff in some new foam to firm up the cushion?

One would have to remove the leather to be able to get at the seat cushion in order to stuff it. I have not tried removing the leather so I do not know how difficult it is.

well, leatherseats.com offer those leather cover and supposedly it's a relatively ok diy job to change those covers yourself. if that's really the cae then i think it should be manageable.

again i am just speculating. i have never done it before myself

Audio Images in Burlingame might actually be able to do this as well. I was at their shop a week ago and they were in the process of reupholstering a car in Gucci fabric.
