Unfortunately, this result is due to an irreversible chemical reaction: acetone is a solvent that dissolves the structure of the synthetic coating on faux leather (PU or PVC). Unlike genuine leather, faux leather can't be cleaned with this product  it literally melts as you can see on the top layer !

This damage cannot be repaired: once the coating has melted, the material won't regain its original look or texture. The affected faux leather will need to be replaced.

Let me know if you'd like advice on next steps.

What should ? I do please help !

Chamfer is not because the springs, chamfer is here to be able to place the tacks attaching the hessian, so the question is will you use foam or traditionnal fibers ? If you're using traditionnal methods all the way long YES you will need it.
