Sofa supports

mutley74

An old leather sofa is becoming very soft. where is cheapest place to buy 3 piece sofa support? or what type of wood do i need if i just add some some support?

all depends on the internal construction.
some use webbing straps and others use springs. some even use wood.

if you wanted to use wood, then plywoood would be ok, but you may find it too hard.
maybe hardboard is better as you can use extra/less layers of HB to regulate the hardness.
much cheaper too.

current sofa is of wooden frame with material covering, and the sofa cushions sit between the frame supports.
what thickness of hardboard/plywood do you suggest is best to try?
