Default Seat Springs?

I have a '65 LeMans with bucket seats. As I am preparing to recover them, I have been thinking about the springs. These, like every other older bucket seat I recall sitting in, seem weak compared to the vehicles manufactured in the last 30+ years.
So, I have 2 questions.

1) Is this just age or were the originals not as stiff as they seem to be in more recent cars?

2) Is there something I can do to stiffen them up?


Thanks in advance.
