You have too push down on the seat (someone sitting on it) The MB tex is sown to a stiffer material which fits into a grove along the bottom of the frame. There are a number of ways to "jury rig" the springs back together, do a search. Some folks stuff various things (pool noddles) under the seat to improve the feel.
