This was the only helpful video I've seen since I started looking for ways to help fix my sofa in the last 2 hours of searching. Thank you so much.

Thank you for saving me a bunch of money. I had some broken springs inside one of the cushions on my sectional. When I looked under the couch 2 months ago, I didn't see the zipper because there is an extra layer of thick cloth supporting the outside springs under the dust cover. Once I pulled that back I found the zipper and doctored up the broken springs inside the cushion with cable ties, padding and some tape. Now my couch is being back to brand new.

Good luck re-hammering those fabric clips back to the frame. I guess it was easier just to add the video clip in reverse so it looks like it’s easy. Lol. You can get these clips pretty cheap on Amazon. If you would have glued a piece of wood to the one that broke and screws it would have been better than the string. I’m sure we all have our own different ways to do it. But you work with what you have. Thumbs up.

I have this exact same couch and it is total crap. I've had it for six months and the support spring that goes across all the springs has broken in four places. It looks like yours is broken too but I only saw it broke in one place. I took it apart and wrapped twine across it for more support and it worked for a couple days and it is back to a sagging mess. Idk what to do. It is brand new but sags like no other.

@alexdobo3270 6 жыл бұрын

I feel your struggle it was the same story for me we got ours at American frieght maybe a strong wire would suffice better than twine we ended up getting a new set of furniture

Question: I got my materials and opened the dust cover under the couch. Unlike your couch, mine has "divets" along the top of the cushions, that are held down with taut strings attached to the frame. It looks like a spider web under there. I'm not confident that I will be able to cut the strings and replace and attach them properly. Am I out of luck now? Should I just work around the strings or cut them?

@xsietube 3 жыл бұрын

Do you have weaved strapping for support rather than springs? Or are your cushions tufted (like they have dimples)?

@CC-qv3mi 3 жыл бұрын

@@xsietube No, I have springs. It was all really tight and in great shape underneath so I wasn't able to get in from the bottom. So I ripped the seams at one corner of each cushion and stuffed handfuls of Polyfil through the hole. Yes, the cushions have dimples. But the stuffing itself is an almost-but-not-quite-solid rectangle of something also like Polyfil inside a non-woven case which tears fairly easily. I was able to worm my arm through all the strings holding the dimples down, using a nylon salad fork to reach the far corners. I tore and reshaped the existing stuffing when that made sense, otherwise pushing new Polyfil past it to fill the holes. I added almost 10 pounds of new Polyfil. The couch looks and feels better than when it was new. Just have to restitch now. My seams won't look perfect, but I'm just so glad that I didn't have to send it out for repair.
