Fix it. If you watch enough TV there's bound to be some DIY proggy come on that will show you how.

Upend the sofa to be greeted by...



Ouch. Grab a knife and have a look inside.

Brimey!

To be fair, my method of 'sitting down' is to point my ass at my side of the sofa and fall backwards.

The 'You're a third my size so need a third less space' argument doesn't work in bed so I doubt it'd work here...For such a bijou and compact lady, she manages to confine me to about a quarter of the matress...

Know anyone who has got some Lino or similarly strong material? If you can secure it to bridge the gap it'll stop that sinking feeling for a while, though you'll be putting more load on the remaining springs so it won't last forever.

I've killed a bed and a chair thanks to being abusive with the springs.
