I need to remove the coil springs from my sofa cushions to replace the cotton batting and to wash the coverings. I just got a terrific new sofa, antique, not a rip/tear in it anywhere but it does smell like, well, it belonged to an elderly woman who just moved into assisted living so I going to guess "incontinence" may have been an issue. Someone has already tried to shampoo out the odor but the smell of the product is worse than the problem. I would like to replace all the cotton inside but with the coil springs in there, I don't know how to proceed. Should I just eliminate the springs altogether and just stuff with filling, no springs? What do you advise?

ARE THE CUSHIONS ATTATCHED TO THE SOFA? HOW DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE SPRINGS IN THE CUSHIONS? MOST OF THE SOFAS THAT HAVE SEPARATE CUSHIONS DON'T HAVE SPRINGS IN THEM.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING AT A COUCH THAT HAS NO CUSHION, JUST AN ATTACHED SEAT, THEN YOU WOULD HAVE THE SPRINGS AND PADDING. IF THIS IS THE CASE THE SPRINGS AREN'T WHAT IS CAUSING THE ODOR, IT IS THE PADDING. I WOULD REMOVE THAT AND REPLACE IT.
