Having sagging couch cushions, that you can feel the springs under you? This post will teach you how to refresh both the top and bottom cushions, as well as to wash the cushion fabric.
My dad showed me a trick. Put the Dacron covered foam in a huge lightweight black garbage bag, use a vacuum and suck the air out then push the compressed cushion in. You can then tear out the plastic bag. There are more tricks to use a open bag and then sliding it out but it’s way to hard to explain. Maybe I will get my dad to make a video. 😆
You just saved me so much frustration, omg, thank you, yes, duh, that is a brilliant, but yet simple solution...I've been sitting here on my living room floor for hours with my giant fat cushion trying to not ruin it by squishing it all up at the top and smashing & ripping the foam and batting as I push it in. I think my cushion cover shrunk a tiny bit when I washed it or something, idk,but it won't fit like it did when i took it out..But you my dear new friend, well your Dad, wheew, thank you saved me. Im just so thankful you posted your comment on this video i was watching! Thank you, thank you, and ya, your Dad totally should put a video up doing that. But I do believe im going to record myself doing it right now. So if you don't mind,Ill post my video, (so as long as it doesn't end up looking like I'm some idiot trying to put a king size mattress into a twin size pillow case)and if it works for me, I would totally be happy to give All the credit of the idea to you and your awsome Dad.😊
Wow! Thank you guys for being such inspiration and helps other to be brave too! I love my couch and now I won’t worry about it wearing down because I can do this same process and get a second life out of this great couch. Really appreciate the time and effort of sharing this video and project. ❤
Good job! I would not have thought of purchasing only the foam, have them cut it, and reinsert it. By the way, you can also cut 2 dacron shapes for each back pillow and then refill the center, in-between the dacron, with the polyfil. This helps with the shape and you need less polyfil to fluff.
Thanks for video. After looking at my seat cushions my, all I needed to do was replacing the poly wrapping. My seat cushion look new again! Thanks again!
Great video! Would've been good to know the weight & the compression number of the foam and how it felt. This is one of the most difficult aspects of choosing the correct foam.
I loved what you did , please can you tell me from where you ordered them & what is the best size to buy to last you longer ??? Thank you that’s what I was looking for .
Soooo glad i clicked on this! thank you both, amazing job on your couch...it literally looks brand new. i purchased a couch mostly for its look, the seating foam is not wrapped in dacron and maybe a medium firm? do you think by just adding a dacron wrap might do it? or should i replace the foam with i higher quality like your? thanks!
It looks great and great video I've been wating to restuff my couch and just realized I have a zipper on my arm rests and idk how I would restuff those becuase they cant be removed for the couch here stitched on like the back cushion are any tips
Pretty great! The couch is now about 12 years old, but the stuffing feels pretty good. It's definitely not as stiff as when we first did it, but it's still very comfy.
