couch cushion replacement filling

Sagging seats and flat backrests don't mean you need a new sofa. The right couch cushion replacement filling can restore comfort and shape to the furniture you already love, often for far less than replacing the whole piece. Here's how to choose the filling that fits the way you sit and relax.

Choosing the Right Filling for Your Couch

Upholstery Foam

Foam is the go-to for seat cushions because it holds its shape under daily use. Higher-density sofa cushion foam generally feels firmer and lasts longer, while softer foams feel plush right away. Measure your existing cushion's length, width and thickness before you shop.

Polyester Fiberfill

Fiberfill is light, budget-friendly and easy to work with. It's ideal for back cushions, throw pillows and topping up replacement cushion inserts that have lost their loft. Expect to fluff it now and then.

Down and Down Alternative

For a sink-in, relaxed feel, down or down alternative cushion filling is hard to beat. Many people wrap foam in a fiber or down layer for a balance of support and softness.
