First off, this is such a great forum! I have read another thread on here regarding this issue, but unfortunately removing one of the springs didn't make it better. I have an Ashley Furniture Kilzer reclining sofa and loveseat. When sitting, I put the feet up and then push back to recline, but the tension is so high that it can barely be managed for more than a few seconds and just comes back to an upright position. I know it's not just me because my big, strong hockey-player boyfriend has the same problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
