springless
Lacking elastic recoil
Springless describes something lacking a spring or springs, most often applied to furniture or vehicles where springs would normally provide cushioning or suspension.
A springless mattress or springless seat offers no bounce or give, resulting in a harder, less forgiving surface.
The term can also describe mechanisms that operate without spring tension, or figuratively suggest a lack of resilience or elasticity: The old springless couch was murder on my back.
