Can Couch Cushions Be Replaced

As time passes, the cushions on a couch just naturally won't be as soft and fluffy as they once were. When the time comes that the couch without the cushions is more comfortable than the couch with the cushions, you have a few courses of action you can take to find replacements. Does this Spark an idea?


From the Manufacturer


Contact the manufacturer of your couch directly and request replacement cushions. Your couch should have come with a booklet containing information such as a style name or model number, as well as the manufacturer's name. Call the customer support number or use the manufacturer's website to inquire about replacing the cushions.


From the Store


Furniture stores that sell the exact couch you're looking for (if your couch is relatively new) may be able to help with replacement cushions. Take any information you have about the couch to the store and see if cushions are available. You can also take measurements of your cushion (length, width and depth) and purchase similar-shaped cushions that will work with your specific couch.


Replace the Padding


If you don't want to replace the entire cushion, replace the material on the inside. This can help breathe life into even the oldest couch cushion. Either take measurements of your cushion (length, width and depth) and purchase replacement foam or contact a professional seamstress if you don't have access to a sewing machine.


Make New Cushions


Professional seamstresses and sewing shops will also be able to construct new cushions for you based on your measurements. Select the foam yourself from a fabric store, as well as the material used for the cushion. If you have difficulty find a professional seamstress, go to a sewing store, such as Hancock Fabrics or Joanne Fabrics, and ask for recommendations.
