How To Fix A Sagging Couch Springs

Sagging couch springs can be a major annoyance. Not only are they uncomfortable to sit on, but they can also make your couch look old and worn out. If you're dealing with sagging couch springs, don't despair! There are a few simple steps you can take to fix the problem.

First, you'll need to identify the type of springs in your couch. There are two main types of couch springs: coil springs and sinuous springs.

Coil springs are typically made of metal and are arranged in a series of coils. They are more durable than sinuous springs, but they can also be more expensive. Sinuous springs are made of a zig-zag shaped wire and are less expensive than coil springs. They are not as durable as coil springs, but they are more flexible.

Once you've identified the type of springs in your couch, you can begin to fix the problem.
