Here’s a clever zip tie hack to fix a sagging sofa cushion or support loose springs—no sewing or expensive repairs needed!
Zip Tie Sofa Support Hack
For Sagging Cushions:
-
Flip the Cushion – Remove the seat cushion and check if the fabric underneath is sagging.
-
Tighten with Zip Ties – If the inner lining is loose, thread zip ties through the fabric grid (like a shoelace pattern) and pull tight to lift the cushion.
-
Trim Excess – Cut off the extra zip tie ends to avoid poking.
For Weak Springs or Sinking Seats:
-
Lift the Sofa Skirt – Look under the sofa for sagging springs or stretched webbing.
-
Reinforce with Zip Ties – Loop zip ties around loose springs or weave them through worn-out webbing to add tension.
-
Test & Adjust – Sit on the sofa to check stability and add more ties if needed.
Bonus Tips:
✔ Use heavy-duty zip ties for better support.
✔ For deep sagging, layer a piece of plywood under the cushions before tightening the ties.
✔ Works on recliners, car seats, and patio furniture too!
This hack is cheap, quick, and surprisingly durable—breathing new life into your old sofa! 🛋️💪
