I feel that it is rather expensive. Maybe I'm out of touch with what it costs for springs to be made.

Jordan,

Thanks for checking the prices. I found an off-the-shelf spring with comparable dimensions (but a little too long which would mean the back would sag), and the price for it was in the same ball park. It all adds up a little too fast...

Maybe the only cheaper option is to make them oneself from spring stock as Bob did?
