How to restore the sofa seat after it collapses

Among all the problems sofas face, such as pilling on fabric sofas and fading on leather sofas, a common problem with both is seat cushion sinking. Some sofas, after prolonged use, can develop deep sinking in the areas where people sit, affecting the sofa's visual appeal and causing it to deform. Is there any way to restore this type of sofa sinking? Today, Delopee Sofas will teach you some tips on how to fix it.

Generally speaking, sofas are made of three materials: the foam filling material that increases the sitting feel and comfort; the internal spring material. Without the support of the spring material, the sofa seat will collapse directly; and finally, the wood (iron) structure that supports the entire frame. If a sofa collapses, there are generally two reasons: the internal spring material has lost its elasticity, and the other is that the frame material has broken.

Internal spring damaged

Sofa springs have a fatigue threshold. Once this threshold is exceeded, the spring's performance plummets, potentially leading to a loss of elasticity. A sofa slumping typically occurs when the springs have lost their elasticity or broken. This isn't a quick fix; it requires regular sofa care and maintenance. Leather and fabric sofa manufacturers use springs in their production, but springs have a limited lifespan. Frequent jumping on the sofa can easily damage the springs.

If the spring components inside a sofa are damaged, they need to be repaired and replaced. This type of everyday hardware installation is very troublesome. Because the springs inside a sofa are made of a single mesh, they are generally inseparable. Do-it-yourself repairs are not recommended; hiring a repair technician is more reliable. For example, common living room fabric sofas or leather sofas are prone to damage due to frequent use. If the springs inside the sofa are damaged, contact the leather or fabric sofa manufacturer and have them send someone to repair it.

Frame structure damage

Among the frame structures, both steel and wood structures are prone to damage. Steel structures are easier to deal with because many times, the places where people sit on them are damaged are welded locations. If you know how to weld, you can re-weld them. If you don't know how to weld, or if the solid wood frame sofa is damaged, it will need to be replaced. Of course, in many cases, it cannot be replaced, so you can only buy a new sofa.

Nowadays, sofas generally have solid wood frames. For example, small-sized fabric sofas are popular among young people, so when the solid wood frame of the sofa is damaged, you can contact the manufacturer to replace or repair it.
