Do I need to Replace my Seat Cushion Foam?

• If your seat cushion material is older than about 10 years
• If it is beginning to have a rounded front edge
• If the seat cushion foam doesn't offer you the support you need to feel comfortable
• ...Then you are probably ready for new foam

Replacing Seat Cushion Foam

When measuring foam seat cushions to replace the foam there are a few things to taken into consideration:

• The new foam interior needs to be slightly bigger than your cushion cover:
  This allows the foam to be slightly compacted and will help it to fill out the cushion cover properly.

• If the foam interior is too small then your seat cushion cover will wrinkle when you sit on it.

• If the new foam fillings are too big you may strain the seams and zip on your cushion cover and your new cushion will not look right

When replacing seat cushion foam, generally, you will need to add 1” to the cushion width, and 1” to the cushion length.  You may also want to add 1” to the depth of the cushion as well.  This will ensure that your seat cushions have a domed appearance instead of looking too flat.

Best Foam to Use for Seat Cushion Replacement?

Rectangular foam, which can be rounded at the edge, is recommended for most applications.  High density foam that is durable is recommended.

Seat Cushion Q&A

Is it very expensive to make your own bay window seat cushion?

Thinking about having my husband build a bay window seat but i'm concerned about the price of having a custom cushion made. I'm pretty crafty so I figured I could make my own but was wondering about the cost. Has anyone ever attempted this, and if so, about how much did it cost you? Thanks so much!

Ahh this is actually a cake walk. The larger fabric stores carry the foam and will cut it to size they come in various heights. When we made our banquette I had a neighbor discarding a sofa and love seat and took their cushions. They already had a cover with a zipper. This allowed me to copy the pattern and I only need to buy the corner foam. I used velcro rather then a zipper as we use this in the breakfast nook and I wash it often. I put a plastic garbage bag over the cushions before the cover to keep spills from saturating to them this helps the cushions go on easier too. Making the cushion cover is pretty simple simply cut 1 inch larger all flat surfaces to allow a 1/2" seam. In the rear if you plan to add a zipper or velcro that piece needs to be 2 inches larger on the height Put a blind seam down the center to accommodate your fastener.

Making the banquette itself, rather then the piano hinge seats we put beadboard fronts on sliding tracks this makes it easier to get to the storage then pulling apart the seats and pillows. On the end sections we made drawers. These are fantastic for storage. My banquette is U shaped for a bay window I would do this.

As far as material you have to see what you want. you can get fabric for 3$ a yard or 75$ a yard. If you get more expensive fabric you can keep the cost down by adding less expensive material to the underside. Another thought to consider is make the top and bottom cushion in 2 different fabrics with the sides in a corresponding neutral allowing you to flip the cushions seasonaly.

If you want to do this in the least expensive option use a 1 peice cushion and cover it with a thin bedspread that you tailor.

Could anyone recommend a lumbar support/lower back cushion for the car?

I have been getting some serious lower back pain riding around in my stick-straight car seat. Does anyone know of a good lumbar cushion and where I might buy it? (The cheaper the better, haha.) Thank you!

you can buy good supports from any medical supply store- they are not cheap, though. sorry.
