I need to replace cushion in seatof recliner and foot rest. It looks really good just seat cushion and foot rest all flat.
My recliner doesn’t have removable cushion. It is all one piece.

I would carefully measure the two squares and then buy some good solid foam. It gets pricey so you might want a coupon. Open up the cushions with a seam ripper and take everything out. Wrap the foam with a layer of batting and put it back in. Re sew the seams.
Mary, these videos will give you all kinds of great ideas. Good luck with it.

You can find upholstery fabric online that might match or at least compliment what’s on the recliner now at https://www.fabric.com/home-decor-fabric-upholstery-fabric.aspx or https://www.fabricwholesaledirect.com/collections/upholstery There are other sites as well as Christierei said buy new foam, you can do high density with memory foam on top for extra comfort. Be careful taking the old cushion and footrest apart as you can use them as a guide as to how it’s put together now and also to cut out your new fabric but give yourself some extra fabric around their edges as it’s your first try.
