Perk up Those Saggy Cushions!

We bought a new living room set last year and the chair/ottoman, which is my dear hubby's nest, is looking pretty tired and beat down. I'm not sure why, but my DH is hard on things; shoes, shirt collars, furniture....
The couch is still looking comfortably overstuffed, so something had do be done with the back of this chair! This cushion is attached to the back of the chair, but has a zipper on the bottom, so I simply pulled the cushion out of it. The problem was immediately apparent; the stuffing had settled, and there was a large defect in the top part of the cushion.
So, to start the repair, I cut a straight line in the top channel of the cushion and added some high density poly fill, then sewed it shut. This gave the cushion back some of it's loft. The next step was to add some foam to give the cushion better support so that it couldn't sag any more.
To see how I took my chair from sad and saggy to perked up and cushy for under $40, check out the complete blog post!
