Chair & Sofa Supports
How to choose chair & sofa supports
Sub-type first
Pick Furniture repairs (boards, legs) for structural issues, or Sofa Accessories (clips, lumbar) for configuration and body support.
Material tradeoff
Choose material by need: wood for looks, iron/wood for stability, polypropylene for light adjustable height.
Colour match
Match colour from the available black, grey, cream, silver or grain finishes to your existing frame.
Fixings and size
Check fixings: many replacement legs use M8 bolts, while support boards come in lengths around 100 cm for single or two-seater use.
Height and load
For adjustable legs, note the 70-110 mm range covers low clearance to taller lift, but steel sits at the top of load capacity.
What's good
- Sofa support boards (Furniture) sit under cushions to counter sag, delaying the need for a new sofa.
- Replacement legs in wood or iron/wood let you raise seating height or change style without reupholstery.
- Universal sectional clips (Sofa Accessories) lock modular pieces together, ending the daily drift apart.
- Postural lumbar boards (Sofa Accessories, polyester) give firm back compression for recovery or posture.
Things to watch
- Support boards add firmness, so they suit sagging seats but not anyone who wants a soft, sink-in feel.
- Solid wood or rubber wood legs look warm but are heavier than polypropylene ones and need careful floor protection.
- Interlocking clips only work where adjoining sofa sections meet, useless on one-piece frames.
- Adjustable polypropylene legs are light and easy to fit but carry less load than steel or iron equivalents.
Care & maintenance
Wood leg care
Wipe wood and rubber wood legs with a dry or slightly damp cloth, then tighten screws monthly.
Metal care
Keep iron or steel parts dry, as trapped moisture leads to rust.
Plastic care
Pull polypropylene legs and clips free of dust with mild soap, they shrug off water.
Board storage
Store support boards flat, any bowing reduces the contact area under the seat.
