Oh...bum

After a mere three years of putting up with 18-odd stone of hairy northener falling heavily onto it, a spring has finally gone on my sofa.

Do I ignore it, try and convince my gf to swap sides with me or try and fix it?

Not sure how you'd fix a broken spring, just convince her to swap

Is it broken or just come loose?

The springs were forever 'breaking' on our ****ty landlord provided student sofas, in the end we just took a stanley knife to the bottom and they were just unhooked, so we hooked them all back in, good as new.

I think the spring has just detached at one end...

Waste of money tbh. This one was free.

Can you not stick something on the end of the spring and call it a feature?

Old sofas make a good fire!

I had a spring go on my sofa, kids used to run across it rather than walk round it.

I put up with it for a while, but kept slipping into the hole which i found frustrating, yet fulfilling.

DFS will give you 50 year interest free on a new one.
