Is it time to upgrade your tired sofa – use our cushion replacement service

cushion-replacement-serviceFor many people their sofa is more than a piece of furniture, it’s part of their life and making sure that it lasts as long as possible is more important than ever.

1.6 million tonnes of waste goes to landfill each year and approximately 42% of that is furniture. Even more shocking is that 50% of that 1.6 million tonnes could be reused!

Sofas and armchairs account for some of the biggest and heaviest pieces of furniture in the average household. But a lot of people make the mistake of believing that having worn out sofa cushions means that the whole sofa needs replacing. And if a sofa’s no longer comfortable to sit on, it’s not serving its purpose. But we have a quick and simple solution.

DON’T REPLACE YOUR SOFA – TRY OUR CUSHION REPLACEMENT SERVICE INSTEAD

In the past sofas were made with foam cushions but now many have fibre cushions. Fibre is a much cheaper alternative to foam, and while it will give you plump looking cushions to begin with, long term use will see these cushions flatten and become less comfortable to sit on.

Direct Foam can provide you with replacement sofa cushions, made of high density foam which can replace cheaper filled foam or fibre cushions. New foam will instantly add height and bounce to your sofa cushions, and ensure that your covers remain plump and filled.

WHAT TYPE OF SOFA CUSHION FOAM DO I NEED?

Foam is found in most sofas and cushions either on its own or in combination with other fillings, but foam filling gives the most structured look with crisp edges and a supportive feel. It provides the firmest support of any filling and will keep its shape over time even with constant use. This means there is little to no maintenance required to keep the cushions looking and feeling like new. However, turning your sofa cushions every so often will help to slow any compacting which may occur with use.

Our luxury range of foam is simply the best available in the UK for upholstery, soft furnishing and bedding/mattress requirements, so even with daily use, it will last for many years. Even after several years, we expect this range of foam to be very similar in look and feel to the day that it was bought.
