@Kristin, This website was GREAT! We have a glider rocker that I LOVE, but the middle spring was broken in three places and whoever owned it before us "fixed" it with coat hangers. It was a free rocker and we got the pieces we needed to fix it for $1.79. There was $13 shipping, but still for less than $15 my husband and dad will be able to fix it before the baby arrives! Much cheaper than the $150-300 for a new glider! Thanks for this site I am FOREVER grateful!

I wish I had great ideas for couch repair, but I don’t. I am going to wait until coupons and promotions at JoAnne fabrics line up right and buy some fabric to sew slip covers with. We actually got our couch out of our neighbor’s yard about four years ago after it did not sell at a garage sale. The kids and cats have really trashed it. I have decided that it will not be replaced until we are debt free. We always pay our bills and have never recieved a call from a creditor, but by having something that I don’t like around, it makes me uncomfortable and reminds me to stay on track.

If you mean the spring under the cushions- here is something I did- it didn’t “fix” the couch but it made it usable to sit on. I took the cushions off the couch and measured the area under where the cushions sit- some of my springs were poking up. I went to Home Depot or Lowes and got a piece of thin plywood and asked them to cut it to size. They usually have remnant pieces you can buy very cheap. Slide the wood on to the couch and replace the cushions- you want it a little smaller so it doesn’t poke out. This extended the life of my old couch until we were ready to buy a new one.
