couch cushion fill

Flat, saggy seats can make even a well-loved sofa feel tired, but the right couch cushion fill brings back comfort and shape without buying new furniture. Whether you're refreshing a single seat or reupholstering the whole piece, choosing the right filling makes all the difference.

Popular Types of Cushion Filling

Upholstery Foam

Foam is the go-to core for seat cushions. High density foam holds its shape longer and suits cushions that see daily use, while softer foams feel plush but may compress sooner.

Polyester Fiberfill

Loose polyester fiberfill works well for back cushions and throw pillows, giving a soft, relaxed feel that you can fluff and adjust.

Dacron Batting

Wrapping foam in dacron batting rounds out the edges, fills the cover neatly, and adds a gentle layer of softness on top.

What to Look For

• Firmness: Match the feel to how you use the seat.
• Thickness: Measure your existing cushions or cover before cutting.
• Durability: Denser materials generally resist sagging longer.
