The rest of the couch is in great shape - we just need to elevate the seat! Thank you

I have a recliner with two zig zag springs that broke. I removed the two broken springs. I got a square of 2" seat foam at Home Depot. Cut it to fit the seat. Stuffed it over the remaining springs, checking how it looked on the seat. I braced it with some thin wood boards across the good springs. Screwed the boards with brackets to the existing springs so they wouldn't shift. The seat is back up, a little stiffer, but looks and feels great.
we purchased new spring on the internet. installation was hard, took two people.
if you dont replace the springs you can find the most stretched ones and add aluminum type coiled metal ( think like twist ties for gardening) and add to those stretched zig-zig springs by weaving them they get smaller and tighter with each pass of the weaving
I wish i could draw it.
If the springs are broken, use wire to repair the breaks. Wrap together as tightly as possible.
