How To Repair Couch Springs

Sagging couch springs can be a major annoyance, making your couch uncomfortable to sit on and even causing back pain. Fortunately, repairing couch springs is a relatively easy task that can be done in a few hours. With a few simple tools and a little bit of patience, you can have your couch back in tip-top shape in no time.

Tools You'll Need

A new set of couch springs (available at most hardware stores)
A spring hook tool (also available at most hardware stores)
A hammer
A pair of pliers
A screwdriver
A staple gun
A piece of scrap wood

Instructions

Remove the old springs. To do this, simply use the spring hook tool to unhook the springs from the frame of the couch. Be careful not to damage the frame.
Install the new springs. Hook the new springs onto the frame of the couch, starting at the center and working your way out. Make sure the springs are evenly spaced.
Hammer the springs into place. Use the hammer to drive the springs into the frame of the couch. Make sure the springs are seated firmly in the frame.
Bend the springs. Use the pliers to bend the springs so that they are all facing the same direction. This will help to keep the couch springs from sagging.
Staple the springs in place. Use the staple gun to staple the springs to the frame of the couch. This will help to keep the springs from moving around.
Replace the seat cushions. Once the springs are repaired, you can replace the seat cushions on the couch. Make sure the cushions are evenly distributed so that the weight is evenly distributed across the springs.

Tips

If you are having trouble removing the old springs, you can try using a pair of pliers to cut the springs.
If you are not sure how to bend the springs, you can use a piece of scrap wood as a guide. Simply place the scrap wood on the spring and bend the spring around the wood.
Make sure to use a staple gun that is strong enough to hold the springs in place. A weak staple gun will not be able to keep the springs from moving around.

Conclusion

Repairing couch springs is a relatively easy task that can be done in a few hours. With a few simple tools and a little bit of patience, you can have your couch back in tip-top shape in no time.
