By: Joanne Dorin


When you have a favorite couch or sofa, the last thing you want to do is lose your couch or sofa because one cushion gets damaged. There are options you can find or make couch replacement cushions for your home or office. This lets you keep your beloved couch or sofa with the simple purchase of a new cushion. This can also save hundreds of dollars over the purchase of a new sofa.

Getting those couch replacement cushions is not always easy, but with a little research and persistence, you may be able to find exactly what you are looking for. Of course, you may find that you have to create your own. This is not as difficult as it sounds. It is even easier to simply repair the cushion. We will discuss all of these methods below.

1. Do you want to repair your couch cushions instead of finding the couch replacement cushions? Well, you could start by deciding why you need couch replacement cushions. You can actually replace the foam easily enough. Replacing the foam in your couch cushions can add new life to the couch. All you have to do is find the right thickness and weight. Try visiting a craft store. You will be surprised at the price of foam though. Be prepared to spend $20 USD per cushion for the foam. If you need to fix the actual fabric, I suggest that you find an upholstery thread and needle. Then, you should remove the foam from the cushion. Usually, there is a zipper, if there is no zipper, you may have to use a seam ripper and take apart a seam. Then, you do a shoestring type pattern as small and tight as you can get over the cut on the inside. Then you will replace the foam and use as desired. This is a great way to fix the cushion.

2. If you really need to completely replace the cushions, you may be able to find a pattern that matches at the original manufacturer of that couch or sofa. Of course, finding couch replacement cushions is not always easy since usually styles come and go. However, the manufacturer may be able to help you. Also, you will need to worry about uneven wear and tear. Sometimes, you can find couch replacement cushions via the internet.

3. Of course, if you have difficulty finding an exact match for your couch replacement cushions, you can always buy coverings that fit like a pillow case over the cushions. You can then get a pattern that is suitable for your needs, and may add to the life of your favorite couch or sofa. You will need to make sure that the couch replacement cushions are of appropriate size. This may mean you need to replace all of the cushions rather than just the one. Of course, adding the cushion cover will make them all appear similar on the outside.
