I am hoping to make this sofa comfortable again. Presently, the sofa has a very deep sag to it, especially between the wooden bones of the frame. As you can see in the photos, the webbing underneath is so saggy as to be useless. It makes for a very uncomfortable experience!I went to my local furniture restoration shop and they quoted me $750 to replace the webbing, plus an additional $200 to "redo decking (if necessary)." While this may be a very reasonable estimate, I am not currently in a position to drop that kind of cash on restoration. Until I can afford such a price for restoration, I was wondering if it might be possible to do something different to make the sofa more comfortable. Do y'all have any ideas?My only notion is to place some sort of semi-flexible board atop and across the wood decking, which is in decent shape. The cushions on the sofa are fine--again, it's the straps that are failing us. Of course, this would probably mess up the fabric. What do you think?Edit: I should add that the webbing cannot be replaced without removing some of the upholstery (per the shop guy's opinion). Also, the only furniture work I've ever done has been to replace some straps on a Z chair, and to use some Howard's RaF on a few old speakers. So, I'm not super adventurous here--just trying to buy some time so I can maybe set some money aside for a full restore later.

I think a good chunk of the $750 quote was for undoing and redoing the existing uhpolstery to get at the webbing. The webbing itself is pretty quick and easy to redo and the black elastic webbing isn't expensive. Removing upholstery and padding and putting it back neatly takes time and care, though.
That said, I have seen plenty of seating where someone attached jute webbing from the underside. It's not as good a fix as redoing it properly but it's better than nothing at all. Get some jute webbing and staple one folded end to the frame as close to the top edge as you can, then stretch as much as you can to the other side, and do the same. Use an electric staple gun, or better yet, a pneumatic staple gun and compressor (rentable or maybe you know someone who has one). Upholstery tacks will pull out in this application.
This isn't a perfect fix but again, it's better than nothing.
A board tends to feel like a board, unfortunately. But you can always just get a 2x4 piece of masonite or 1/4" plywood from Home Depot for under $10 and see how it feels.
