Buy plywood, which should be equal to the size of the bottom of the sofa. Nail it at the bottom of the sofa, as it will stop the springs to come out. In the meantime, it will also strengthen and increase the life of the sofa. You should also make sure that the plywood is not visible when you place the sofa upside up. If you see the base visible, cut down the extra piece that is coming out of the front.
