    I’ve washed my cushion covers multiple times in the washer & air dry them in the dryer. But make sure you zip them up when you wash & dry them. I’m sure you can buy stuffing at a diy store but seems like it would be a pain & you’re pillows may not be the same shape.

    If your pillows have a zipper closure, simply remove the inserts and launder the covers. If the pillows need more stuffing, buy either a new insert pillow or poly fill stuffing that you can buy at any store (including fabric stores and WalMart in the craft department).

  • Amazon has couch cushion filling.

    You could use Polyfil from the craft store or Walmart.

    Hi Dorene,


    Just like Miranda said, put them in the washer and air (fluff) to dry them, to do this I take these to the laundramat and use the huge machines, they may come out a bit distorted from the process, just like washing a fiberfill pillow.

    Depending on the filling (different couches), I have removed the covers and laundered them and then restuffed, that has also worked.

    You might want to consider spraying your couch (cushions and all) with a scotchguard product to repel what stuff it gets on it.

    You can find the fiberfill and formed foam inserts at stores like Joanne's fabric, the trained staff can guide you with what volume you need. Or you could take an empty cushion to the store and see what will work.

    Scotchguard is at the diy stores.
