Fixing a Sagging Couch
I have a couch that sags badly. It looks like there are "S" shaped springs that are connected by a cord that feels like twisted cardboard. The cords are broken in multiple places. Does anyone know where to get replacement cords and the clips or even what this cord is called so I can do a search?

Thanks,
slicef96 from Charlotte, NC

My boyfriend and I had bought a couch a few years ago with cash so we didn't really get any kind of warranty on it. The boards underneath had broke and we are not heavy set people. My boyfriend fixed it but it broke again. I went and got some big cement blocks and put them underneath where the board was broke (it took two of them). It fixed the problem but you have to watch how hard you sit down.

My couch has sagging springs. Is there a way I can fix them back into place? My now estranged DH is quite heavy and did in the springs on two couches. Can I go underneath and fix it? Thanks for any help!

My DH is not estranged but somewhat of a cheapskate -- smart though. He fixed our couch by very tightly wrapping and threading cloth moving van tape thru the back and around the bottom of the frame, eventually covering the width of the frame with a web of sorts. Then we put the cushions back on. It actually felt more sturdy after doing this then when it was new! We covered it with a stylish slip cover and he didn't have to spring for a new couch for quite awhile!

My parents put a board underneath the chair cushions of their aging sofa & it solved the slight sag.
