When you first buy your sofa or couch, it might look perfect in your eyes. Maybe it complements the rest of your decorations, fits in with your color scheme, and is just the right size. But over time, you probably started noticing that the sofa isn’t as comfortable as it used to be, because there are spots where it feels a bit lumpy and the cushions have started to sag. You might not feel like buying a new couch when the one you have right now still looks good next to the rest of your furniture, but you can still enliven your couch by replacing your seat cushions.

You can start by removing the seat cushions and measuring them with a tape measure. First, lay the cushions flat in front of you. Measure them from Justify to right to find the width, and from top to bottom to find the length. Then, you can measure the cushion’s thickness by measuring the height of its padding. Once you have your measurements, you can order new cushions customized to your measurements from companies like The Foam Factory. For many couch cushion covers, there is likely a zipper on its exterior you can find and unzip. When the cushion covers are open, you can remove the old cushions and replace them with the new ones. It’s as easy as that.

This process works for any cushion or couch shape, as craftsmen at The Foam Factory can cut almost any shape you can think of. Even if you don’t see your desired cushion shape from their selection of seats and cushions, you can always contact them to work out details and pricing for your custom shape.
