Sagging Couch Repair

Momoko complained about our living room couch. We were going to go shopping to find a replacement. I recalled the last time we bought one. It was rough taking out the old couch and bringing in the new one. So I asked Momoko what the specific issue was. She said the seat area was too low. She was sinking in.

We took off the gerbil couch cover. Then we removed the seat cushions. The seat area had minimal support. I cut a 2x4 piece of lumber. Tried to brace it across the couch for support. Had a rough time getting in in past the arm rests.

After that, we had a single 2x4 lumber diagonally on the seat area. I got smaller length 2x4 lumber to brace the other areas. Momoko said there was support, but she felt like the seat was leaning her forward. I added a 1x4 board across on the front of the couch. For now the thing is working.

Eventually we will need a new couch. Maybe then I can pay somebody to deliver and remove the old one.
