Fluffing up couch cushions- the foam has gotten smushed and slouchy!
by

I have a 3 piece sectional sofa. The cushions (or pillows) on the back of all 3 pieces are attached and don't come off. However, the foam inside has gotten smushed and slouchy. How can I get the them to look full and firm again? TIA

Best way is to go to an upholsterer and get them to do it for you, but if not possible - You might be able to do it with the use of velcro. Cut a straight line along the cushion in a not very obvious place and either pull out the old foam and insert new Fire Retardant foam. Stick velcro to top edge of foam and under both sides of cushion fabric and aline and close tight. Hope this is of some help.
You can purchase the foam pads in any thickness you need but you will have to open up a seam to get inside to remove the old padding. If you can do this easily enough you could maybe hand stitch the opening after you have installed the filling. Not an easy task, but doable.
Go to a craft store and purchase stuffing. A.C. Moore, Hobby Lobby or Michales.
