In this situation, the yield is one - buying a new sofa. However, not everyone can part with his beloved furniture, especially if it is difficult to find a similar model in the store or simply lack money to such a purchase. Therefore, the optimal solution can be the restoration of the sofa. Of course, you can resort to the help of experienced specialists, but on the other hand, the work on the restoration of the sofa can be carried out and independently, which will not only give your furniture a new life, but also significantly save.

To begin with, before proceeding directly to the work on the restoration of the sofa, with their own hands, you need to make sure of it, namely in the integrity of the carcass itself. After that, we prepare all the necessary tools and consumables: a screwdriver, pliers, hammer, stapler, sewing machine, threads, scissors, screwdriver, pva glue, foam rubber, hawk, sintepon, upholstery fabric. In addition, new springs or spring block may need, depending on the degree of sofa wear.

So, we go to the very process of restoration, which consists of the following steps:

Disassembly of the sofa

Disassembly of the sofa is necessary, first of all, in order to identify damaged parts in its designs, which in the repair process will necessarily be replaced with new, or repair them if possible. Disassembly start with unscrewing armrests. They are most often attached to two bolts, the first of which is under the sofa seat, and the second behind. Armrests can be combined with legs or located separately. In order to unscrew them, we raise the seat or you can push the retractable part, which depends on the characteristics of the design of the sofa itself.

Without the help of outsiders in this matter it is difficult to do without the sofa, since the sofa is quite a bulky thing. After that, turn it over in the unfolded form, unscrew the back. When the back is removed, make disassembly of the transformation mechanism using a conventional screwdriver.

Removal of upholstery

Thus, the sofa is completely disassembled, you can start removing the old upholstery from it. It is done with a flat screwdriver and pliers, which engage the ends of the bracket or nails, or with the help of an antispoler.

The old covers we postpone aside and do not throw away until you find new, as they will be lectured for them. After removing the upholstery, we remove the old foam filling or batting, leaving only the spring block.

Replacement of springs or spring block

Now check the condition and efficiency of the springs. If we noticed deformations, breakdown, etc. One or immediately several springs, then we have to replace them. All the springs of modern type, as a rule, are attached between their special spirals. In order to disconnect one of them, we dissolve the fixation of the spiral from one end, and from the other end, pull it out like a screw. When the spring is released from two sides, we produce it to replace it with a new one. Next, attach a new spring in the same way in the reverse order, as was removed the old.

Sometimes there are such situations when there are almost all springs in the spring block to be replaced, then it makes no sense to change each of them separately. In this case, you will have to buy a new spring block and replace them old.

Pattern of the new upholstery and its mount

After replacing the springs or spring block, we turn to the assembly of the sofa itself. First, we cover the spring block with bass and fix it with brackets around the perimeter. Then, on the shape of the sofa frame, we cut a sheet of furniture foam rubber, which has a thickness of 30-40 mm. It must be glued to the Bosius so that during the operation of such a sofa he did not go. To do this, we apply the glue PVA simultaneously to the cooler and the foam rubber and apply them to each other until they glue themselves between them. To give an additional volume, our sofa can also be pasted on top of the foam and a piece of syntheps, which is cut in the same way.

Old covers neatly break down the seams, as a result of which we get the finished pattern. We apply them to the new upholstery fabric and strictly along the contour with a small intake cut out new covers. Then we sew every detail of the cover between satellite on the sewing machine.

Already ready-made covers carefully dress on the sofa, while in the process of fastening with a furniture stapler stretch them when fixing to avoid the appearance of folds in the finished sofa.

Collection of sofa

When all his details are uphawed with a new cloth, including the back, armrests and others, you can go to the assembly. This is done in reverse sequence, as when disassembling. So, the restoration of the sofa is finished with their own hands and we got almost new furniture, which will serve you more than one year.
