Seat Rebuild Question

The bottom cushion of the driver's seat in my car is hopeless knackered. Cosmetically, the seat is in great condition, but the bottom supplies no support at all. I sit in it, it just - well, bottoms out.

A quick inspection indicates that the foam is shot, but that visually, at least, the springing medium seems to retain at least a modicum of firmness. It's not broken or sagging, or anything like that.

So here's what I'm wondering: For those of you who have perhaps rebuilt your car's seats, have you just replaced the foam pad? Or have you also replaced the springing medium under the pad? Is it worth it to do both? Or does it matter if you leave the springs alone?
