How to restore a sofa seat after it collapses?

Among all the problems sofas face, such as pilling on fabric sofas and fading on leather sofas, a common issue for both is seat cushion sagging. Some sofas, after prolonged use, develop deep indentations in the seat cushions where people sit, affecting the sofa's visual appeal and causing deformation. Is there any way to restore this sagging seat? Today, Delo Leather Sofas will teach you some related techniques.

Generally, sofas use three materials inside: a foam filling to increase comfort, internal springs (without which the sofa would collapse upon sitting), and a wooden (or iron) frame structure that supports the entire structure. If a sofa collapses, it's usually due to one of two things: either the internal springs have lost their elasticity, or the frame material has broken.

Internal spring damaged

Sofa springs also have a fatigue value. Once this fatigue value is exceeded, the spring's performance will decline sharply, eventually leading to a loss of elasticity. A sofa sagging is basically due to the springs losing their elasticity or the entire spring system breaking. This isn't an overnight process; it requires regular maintenance and care. Both leather and fabric sofa manufacturers use springs in their sofas, but springs have a limited lifespan. Frequent jumping on the sofa can easily damage the springs.

If the springs inside a sofa are damaged, they need to be repaired or replaced. Installing such everyday hardware is quite troublesome. Because the springs inside a sofa are typically a single, continuous spring, they cannot usually be disassembled. It's not recommended to try to repair it yourself; it's safer to hire a professional. For example, common living room fabric or leather sofas are prone to damage due to their high frequency of use. If the springs inside are damaged, you can contact the sofa manufacturer or the upholstery manufacturer to have them send someone to repair it.

Frame structure damage

In frame structures, both steel and wood structures are prone to damage. Steel structures are easier to repair because often the damaged areas are welded joints, which can be repaired by someone skilled in welding. However, if someone is not skilled in welding, or if a solid wood frame sofa is damaged, it needs to be replaced. Of course, in many cases, replacement is not an option, and the sofa must be purchased entirely new.

Nowadays, most sofas have solid wood frames. Fabric sofas for small apartments are popular among young people, so if the solid wood frame of the sofa is damaged, you can contact the manufacturer for replacement or repair.
