How to Fix a Broken Sofa Spring 

We received this in the mail today! The packaging was fine, no damage during shipping thank goodness! The construction was very simple ru-vid.comUgkxXH3jIpsn6vpr3D26KWAriUejh7CSxVp7 , the bottom rocking part and the ottoman were already put together for us which is nice!As for the actual quality, the wood seems fine.. Not too cheap but maybe not the quality you would find in a store for 400$. However, it is still sturdy and feels secure. I've only had it for one night, so of course no squeaking yet.. But if it does squeak it could be easily oiled. The cushions are comfy, and made of a suede like material. Obviously with time these cushions will probably wear and tear.. But for the price of the chair it is still worth it just to go out and buy new cushions that fit in the future.Overall I am very satisfied, I was a little worried after reading some reviews and looking through the photos, but I'm happy I bought it! Obviously it's not a heavy-duty chair, but with care I'm hoping it will last a while.

Literally the first video i found and i exclaimed "holy crap that's exactly what I need". Thank you.

Thanks. I had no idea this was something we could do ourselves. You’ve saved a sofa from the landfill!

Ahhh. So nice to find the perfect spring repair video after scanning a bunch of amateur videos. Excellent explanation, video, audio, and done in four minutes. A thousand likes for you. Thank you!

Hey Amie, You can buy regular "repair clips" that are pretty good. A screw is better than a nail, too. (I do this for a living) Have a good one!

Wow I watched a ton of videos and this is the one I actually needed 😂 I found a fairly new L shaped couch and I’m pretty excited about fixing it.

My one question is what do you do about the dust cover you tore off the bottom? Do you replace that? Thank you, very helpful video!

Would have liked to see you replace the dust cover.

Excellent thank you my dear Gj Chelsky London England

Nice work. Simple and to the point. Thank you.

Thankyou for this, it looks super-helpful. Is there any point in trying to preserve or replace the dust cover on the bottom , please?

I had already asked the landfill how much they wanted for a couch. My friends think I'm a fool for getting rid of a seemingly good couch. Time to flip this thing over. Thanks for sharing 🙏

What a lifesaver! Or should I say couch saver! Good-lookin too!

Thank you. I’m impressed at how few times you missed the nail with the hammer.

Thank u so much! You just saved me saved me from buying a new couch. I just fixed my couch because of you thank making this video.

I had a sunken seat on my sofa, had know idea if/how to fix it! Watched this video and cut open bottom. The spring system was the same. The bracket hadn't broken, it had come away from the frame! I nailed it back on and it's as good as new. Thanks, your video was of great help.

Thanks, great tips...

That's a handy tip!

Thank you so much.

That was so simple and easy to understand, thank you so much!

This is the best video I have watched that explained in a simple manner how to repair the spring in my couch. Thank you much !

Thank you for the video assistance, this was a very easy-to-follow instruction video! Did exactly as you said, & its worked out perfectly!

I had the same issue. The difference was the spring hooks were still attached. 5 of the 6 were simple to reattach. Thank you for this video and saving me a serious headache.

Do the nails come with the repar kit from Amazon or do you have to buy the nails separately elsewhere? Thank you btw for the video btw

Always a pleasure to see your smiling face no matter what's getting repaired.

I just got quoted for a spring repair for $1,850 omg if this only costs me a few bucks then bless your heart

Thank you so much for the video! Will attempt to repair my sofa soon. Wondering if 1inch or 1.5inch nails be better? Screws don't work huh?

Thanks! Very straight forward and to the point.

Thank u so much. U don’t even know how many videos I watched with ppl repairing back cushions by repair I mean stuffing lol.

Hey Miss A....you can unlock any door, if you only have the key. Thank you for providing another key to unlocking a mystery that in reality isn't that mysterious. Luv ya, mean it!!

I am going to turn chair over and remove dust cover to check!!

I checked the clip was fine and spring came out. We put it back in and spring slipped out again any fix’s for that

Excellent, thank you so very much! Need to renew all springs on my 1920s sofa.

My ones complete disaster- the spring was snapped. Also, how will you put back the cloth that you pulled off below the sofa 🛋️? Good luck.

So... I have a Victorian-era sofa... I've redyed the material as I cannot reupholster such a complicated piece...painted the wood (I know, I know...), but now it's sagging so much I cannot sit on it as ...stuff is coming out of the bottom and I fear falling straight through. Will this work just the same? I've already put wood underneath and it came out.

Yes! My wildling “sprung” not 1 but 2 springs in my couch! Thanks for the tip!

Massively helpful brief video! Got a new but broken easy chair for free, and was racking my brain for how I could attach this clip from behind. Thank you for making great content!

Thank you! I attempted this and something I found is the springs were really tight and hard - anybody have techniques in mind?😅

I have a reclining sofa . I noticed one of the zigzag springs feels funny when you sit on it when I put up the recliner and looked underneath I can see like a coil spring sticking down through the black dust cloth . Any suggestions where to start .

Need chek old bad... Damn owner of ending me... I broke damn old bad just siting on...

Thanks! I'd wondered about the clips, and you answered all of my questions.

Fantastic advice, thank you so much for making this video!!

Definitely use at least 1 screw with the nails. It'll give that extra security that it won't happen again.

1 or 3/4 inch screws should be considered for a clip in that orientation. Pilot holes are advised with screw use.

Awesome! Thanks Amiee! I'm going to fix our couch now! ;)

Looks easy enough...........now watch me try it and make a complete disaster of it as I usually do 😂

Yes, it looks just lk my deal ,one spring on a 2 row spring chair popped, but it didn't hv the clip still on it, I hvn't looked hard but it feels lk it's still in the chair, it seems the spring slip out of the clip, if that's possible? I lk the ole chair, I hope to find one if those clips😉THX

Thank you ❤ you probably saved me hundreds of dollars ❤

Omg it's so simple! Like... I could actually do that thank you!

You made that look so easy, I'm gonna attempt this today. Thank you.

What about where the top springs are now sticking into your butt ? It feels like they've spring

Won't it just pull out now? Should you use screws instead since it's orientated the other way?

Excellent info. I did it!!! Thank you!

Thank you so much! My husband is ready to send my favorite leather couch and love seat to the landfill. You may have saved their life

I can’t seem to bend the spring far enough to fit into the clip, any advice?

Thank you Amy for all the great videos

My dad‘s couch bent all the way back and me and my brother are dead

Wow thanks. My sofa needs this.

Thank you! You’re attractive as well 😉

Can you use zig zag clip to do the same thing?

Informative , looking forward to more videos

Thank you for the valuable information.

Very good video, this was an easy repair.

Wow, you have saved me a fortune! Thankyou 😊

Which way should the nap run on velvet dining chairs.

I think my concern would be "have I put on that much weight?" Nice easy fix! Thanks for sharing Aimee. Is that a #1 Seller "1000 Chairs?"

Awesome job thanks for your help

This is sofa king great advice!

thank u miss lady. i really love you for this

thanks for the helpful video.

Thank you. We're going to try this.

thank you so much for posting this holy cow

Yea this helped so much thank you!

Thanks, my wife is going to so happy now.

Thank you, Darling!

Thanks for the video :)

That’s a great little instructional video. You’ve shown how easy it can be. Thanks. Unfortunately I have a recliner that is a little more hard to get to but the basis is the same.

Awesome! Thank you so much!

This video is very informative. I could use advice on replacing spring wires. All 3 have broken. Thanks.

So I have an old mid century sofa. The EK clip is still there. It’s actually not an EK clip; it looks like just a small metal tube. I don’t seem to have the strength to stretch the zigzag wire back in there. Any ideas?

thank you aimee you just give me a great way to fix broken no sag springs in my car seat been trying to find someone to make a tool to form the U shape end that hooks in the frame but if i use those clips i can weld them and then hammer them closed and add a weld to keep them closed very clever idea :)

Thanks for sharing.

Tell me more about the cat

Thanks! For the tips

Just about to embark on my first re-springing journey! I was happy to see that it's OK to attach the clip in a slightly different spot as there is no way I could get to the same spot as the existing clip. Out of interest, having ripped off the dust cover, did you replace it? Thanks for such a useful video.

Ok, thank you!

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the info. Any special tips if we regularly have 300-400 lb friends that sit in our sectional?

Do you have a video that shows how to fix a spring in a cushion? Our couch cushion Jac a spring that has sprung. 😢

Hi 😊 really enjoying your videos ! I’m reupholstering a chair for the 1st time ! 🤞🏻...I came across Your channel whilst doing some research .. I’ve just watched this spring repair one and am now thinking of attempting to fix my sofa , but it has another set of small springs which attach to the main ones at the front and some of those are broken too 😕any tips would be greatly appreciated! Thanks 😊

please answer asap, my springs are not sagging but trying to come through the seat of the couch, is this the same fix???

I found these size clips are not enough and just come away over time . looking for something a bit more substantial to take bigger screws this time

Another great video, my dad said pets and kids kept us in business,and here was right. 😊 Enjoyed it. Paul

Thank you for your work

When I was a kid there is a next-door neighbor who lost an a to a sofa spring. They probably could’ve saved it had he gotten help soon enough but he tried to let it heal on its own and it got infected.

This is a great video! But what do you do if your frame is metal and not wood? What do you use to attach to the frame?

Thank you ❤

Our spring has broken in half so obviously won't reach to repair

I’m going to the furniture repair tomorrow, thank you!!! ❤❤Judy❤❤

Thank you so much
