Fix a Sinking Sofa

I think at some point we have all had this problem, a sofa that starts to sink in where you sit, leaving an imprint. Well, here is a simple and easy way to fix that sinking sofa and make your sofa look new again.

Here’s what you will need:
Plywood at least ¾ in thick, cut to fit inside of sofa
Paint to match the color of the sofa cushions
Sander or sand blocks

First, measure the inside of your sofa front to back, and side to side for a perfect fit under the cushions. Take your board and sand with sander to smooth and splinters or rough edges.

 

Next, paint the board on all edges and sides to match the color of the sofa (I do this because at first when you put the board down you might be able to see a little bit of the board under the cushions)

 

Next, once the paint is dried, remove the cushions from the sofa and add lay the board down.

 

Now, add your cushions back and pillows. (don’t worry if the cushions look really high, once you sit on them a little bit they will flatten down and the sofa will look like its brand new)
