Written by: The Foam Factory

When it comes to couch cushions, quality trumps pricing any day.

couch-cushionsIn the vast world of furniture, a high-end couch can easily take on the appearance of one that is low quality. From far away, you might not even be able to tell the difference. But, if you’re looking to find one that’s worth the money, it’s important that you look into one of the most important elements of a sofa – the sofa cushions.

What You Should Look Out For

Besides the inflated price tags, what are some noticeable elements of cushions that you should keep a look out for? Well for one, the cushion foam that’s inside the sofa should be easily identified through the product description either inside the store or online. Be sure that you take a look at the density of the foam, which determines how much support that it can handle when you sit on it. A higher density will be a have a solid feel to it, and vice versa. Additionally, the foam could be made of a variety of materials like polyurethane or even memory foam.

Higher Quality Provides More Resiliency

The higher quality couch foam that you obtain, the much more resilient and comfortable it will be. Additionally, it’ll the foam cushions will be able to take the constant punishment of body weight day in and day out without it essentially disintegrating on the inside. The last thing that you’ll want is to spend over $1000 on a couch only to find out that it’ll last for a few months before needing to be replaced.

How to Upgrade to Foam Cushions the Easy and Affordable Way

How-to-Upgrade-to-Foam-Cushions-the-Easy-and-Affordable-WaySay that you’ve finally realized how much better your couch or sofa would be with foam cushions, instead of flimsy, expensive, (and not to forget, gross) traditional cushions. You’ve come to the conclusion that this simple improvement would make your home that much cozier. But now you’re unsure of what to do—once you’ve passed the threshold of discovering how much better foam is, you may have a paralyzing moment of indecision. You can’t simply continue to sit on your old, inadequate sofa cushions, yet you may be worried about how much work it will be to make the change.

You’ll be glad to find out that you have no reason to worry—whether you’re upgrading your furniture or replacing damaged cushion foam. It’s easy to take care of it yourself with a few basic measurements to have new foam in no time.

Take the cover off whatever cushion you’d like to fill with foam, and empty it. Then, flatten it out and measure the greatest length and width of the covering, from one seam to another. For covers that aren’t a perfect square or rectangle shape, measure where they are biggest—you want to avoid the tight corners and curved edges, as these can throw your measurements off. Add an inch to each measurement to give yourself room to adjust in case the measurements are slightly off or if your cushion is asymmetrical.

That’s it! From there, you’ll have everything you need to get started with new foam!
