Best, easiest way to eliminated the bounce; go to a harwdware store and get some twine (hemp colored about 1/8 - 3/16 thick). For as many rows of springs measure and then double that and cut that many strands. One strand per row (fron to back)
Starting at either the front or back at the edge wire (the perimeter hard wire mainting the form) tie a double clove hitch. More than likely you will tie in the edge wire and one edge of a spring. Then go across the spring top to the opposite top edge of same sprin and tie a single clove hitch. Now, determine the distance between that first spring and the very next sprint (approx 1 1/2 to 2 inches) tie that edge with with a single clove hitch and now repeat across each row of springs ending at the opposite edge wire and spring.
One other way.... measure width of rows and measure height of springs. The back row should be lower. Cut as mny pieces of burlap 2 inches more than height of springs. Fold one edge forming a loop to slide some twine the full width of the burlap and have someone sew that in. The twine side is hog ringed to the top edge of each spring and then at the bottom span of metal that holds the springs. Start in the middle spring of each row and alternate left to to right top to bottom keeping same height to each spring. Remember the back row is about an inch or short shorter than the from rows. These are baffles and used in 1948 trucks.
