Remember how fantastic your sofa felt when you sat on it for the first time? It was really nice to sit on and very comfortable. However, these days you've noticed that it just doesn't feel like it used to. It's now saggy and not as comfy. You feel like you are sitting 'in' it rather that 'on' it. So it's time to scrap it and buy a new one? No! You can renovate your old sofa and make it feel like new again.
The problem is the sofa cushions are made from a polyurethane foam rubber and over time this foam starts to lose its rigidity and springiness. The more you use your sofa the more it will wear so follow these simple steps and you will have your old sofa feeling like new again in no time.
Measure your existing cushions carefully. Note down the thickness of the cushions together with the length and width. Make sure you measure the longest length if your cushions are not square. It's best to temporary remove the foam from one the cushions whilst you are taking the measurements.
Decide which level of firmness you want your new foam to be. Do you want it more firm or less firm? Before you order the new foam you may want to opt for a large six foot length that could be cut into smaller pieces. This would work out more cost effective than ordering tailored sizes. When you are happy then place your order based on the measurements you have made.
When the foam arrives, cut it to the exact size of the measurements you took. Or alternatively, remove the foam from your old sofa and lay it on top of the new foam. This will act as a template while you trace around the old foam. Now carefully cut the foam to the new size. Make sure you cut the foam at a 90 degree angle so the cut is square.
Finally insert your new foam into the old cushion covers. You may find that you may have to compress the foam to get it into the covers and once inserted be sure all of the corners are snug and it is sitting square in the cushion cover.
It's easy to revitalize your old sofa and make it feel like new again saving you a lot your hard earned cash to spend on something else.
