Question
I HAVE A COUCH THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BUT I'VE NOTICED SOME SAGGING.  WAS WONDERING WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS, MAYBE THE SPRINGS/COILS?  WHAT CAN I DO TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM?

Answer
I need more details. Is it the cushions that are sagging? When you sit down you sink in too deep? Are the cushions saggy looking before you even sit in, like just visually?

How old is the couch? Do you know what the company name on it is? What style of a couch is it?

Are there any weird noises when you sit down? Does any part under the couch look damaged? When you look under the couch does anything dip lower than it should?

This could be many things. The frame could be warped. Real wood frames in bad weather conditions(i.e. heaters, dry air, etc.) could warp easily.

The springs/coils could be damaged and not working properly.

The cushions could be damaged and therefore are not feeling right.
