How to Fix a Dislodged Couch Spring

Giriş

If your couch or sofa has an unwanted dent that wasn't there before, use this guide to fix a dislodged couch spring.

This is a universal guide for fixing dislodged couch springs. Most sofas and couches are spring-held, and these springs may get dislodged from their socket. Dislodged springs cause uncomfortable dents in the seats of your couch, and are usually easy to fix, saving you the money of buying a new couch.

Although it is optional, this guide is most efficient when done with a partner. Couch springs tend to have a lot of tension on them and are much easier to re-insert with an extra pair of hands.

Before beginning, it is best to remove any pillows, blankets, or anything else on your couch that might get in the way.
