Replacement Sofa Cushions

Sofas are an integral part of most people's living rooms and family rooms and there are many different options you can choose from to find replacement sofa cushions depending on your level of skill and resources. If your sofa has stains or rips on the cushions, there are many different options you can use to get your sofa back in good shape.

Your success in getting replacement cushions for your sofa will depend on what type of cushions you have. There are a few different categories of sofa cushions. The back cushions on the sofa will be attached or unattached. The bottom cushions on a sofa are always unattached.

Attached cushions are very difficult to replace and in most cases you'll need to take the entire sofa to an upholsterer. With unattached cushions, there are several different options you can use for replacements.

If your sofa is still under warranty and you need a replacement cushion, you should be able to contact the manufacturer directly. Just look on the warranty paperwork that you received when you purchased the sofa and then call the manufacturer. In some cases, you'll have to send back the damaged cushion. Other manufacturers will simply send out a replacement cushion to fix the problem.

You can also contact the manufacturer even if you aren't under warranty. For a fee, certain manufacturers will send you replacement cushions for your couch. Be sure to specify the model number, the color and the type of pillow that you need.

Sometimes your best option is to get professional help with your cushion replacements. The best place to go is to a tailor that specializes in upholstery. Take the cushion or the measurements of the cushion to the tailor to get an estimate of the cost. You should also take in a swatch of the fabric that is used on the other cushions so that the new cushion will match.

The costs of this option will vary depending on the size and shape of your cushion. If you go this route, you should be prepared to pay a high price for your sofa cushion. You should also be aware that you may not be able to get an exact match for your cushion. Due to fading and fabric variations, you may still have a big difference between your original cushions and the replacement.

If you have a sewing machine and can follow a basic pattern, you may want to recover your sofa cushion yourself. The process is simple if you measure carefully and work with the original cover as a pattern.

Start by removing the damaged fabric from the cushion. Use a seam ripper to carefully open all of the seams on the cushion so you'll have a pattern to match. Be very careful during this process to protect the shape of the pattern.

Visit a fabric store to pick out fabric to make the new cushion. If you can't find the exact match, consider making new covers for all of the cushions on your couch. You can create a stylish two-tone effect by pairing a lighter or darker hue of the couch. For example, if you have a light blue couch you can recover all the cushions in a dark blue. Use your old couch cushion to determine how much fabric you'll need. Remember to add at least 1/4 of an inch for the seam allowance.
