My cushions are attached but the zipper is on the bottom. They are filled with stuffing? I want to put in foam cushions ant ideas?

An American bobbin chair is my guess but I have a question. I have an older, thrifted couch that I love. It’s great structurally, but I NEED to recover it. It’s an old 90’s sofa with really light fabric and I’ve got 4 kids so it’s looking gross and was already out of style. My problem is it has these huge styled piping that’s around the arms and bottom. I’ve never done anything like this so I thought I’d ask the experts before tackling it. Can I remove the piping and recover fairly easily, or will it need restructuring along the arms? Thanks!

Unfortunately I have one cushion on my couch, a back cushion that is attached and NO zipper. All the foam is at the bottom. The rest of the sectional is perfect. Just this one sagging cushion at the end.
exactly, who needs tips if there's actually a zipper? I'm here to find out how to fluff or restore firmness to the cushions that do not have any access points.
Great find! I love finding furniture that needs very little work to be fabulous
Hello again Jennifer, it’s always great to see your comments. We appreciate that you continue to watch the videos. Hey if you like check out episode 19 of Save My Assets you could when a $50 gift card from Amazon. Again it’s great to hear from you please when you can comment. Have a great evening cheers, Paul
Thanks for addressing my question! I’ll take a couple snapshots and send them.
Thank you for sharing this info.🙏🏻💜
Will you please tell me how or do a video on how to stuff a sagging cushion that’s attached to the back of a sectional sofa ? I don’t know where to cut it open? I can hand sew, a tight wrap around stitch but I don’t want it to unravel and a for a hole to form. Should I fabric glue a patch over the seam? We just got a new big sectional sofa in January and fat cat and other cat lay together on a matching charcoal grey towel that I put down, so that I can wash it, somehow they know that it’s there for them to lay on, but it’s all dented in now. Please help?
Hello Diana,
Thank you very much for watching our video. Yeah, that's a real problem, first if you haven't already check to make sure that there's no zipper at the bottom. If there is no zipper, then yes you will need to cut open the cover and hand sew it closed. I would lay the sofa on it's back and standing over top of it with top of the sofa at the base of your feet. Reach over the inside back at your feet and get the bottom of the seam of the attached back cushion. The seam closest to the inside back and open that seam up. It will be very tight and you will have struggle pulling the insert out of that one seam that you opened. A word to the wise, when you put more poly-fil in the insert it will be even more of a challenge to put back in, but it can be done. Follow the instructions in the video and you should be fine after you hand sew it closed. I wish they would stop making attached back cushion we get loads of complaints about them, people get fed up and throw into a landfill. Here is an older video we did on the same subject.

ucsolutions 🙏🏻Thank you so very much!! 😊
Hi guys, I love your channel, its awesome learning how things are made!! I have to fix part of my leather sofa but I dont have a clue what the fabric is called. At 4min 9 secs Grant touches the greyish material that's attached to the seating part & front panel. This looks similar to the material I need. Can you advise, what this material is?
Hi Shirley and,
We really appreciate you watching our videos! Great question, the material that is used for your sofa a platform is called decking material. This material could be anything including the main fabric if you wish. If you need help in regards to reupholstering your sofa you can take a look at our website UCprivatecourses.com. We have a video there that we made that shows you how to reupholster a sofa from start to finish. ucprivatecourses.com/product/how-to-reupholster-a-sofa-full-course/
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
All the best,
Grant
How do I measure two end cushions that are Not BOX cushions but have a little piece that sticks out around the arm rest
Hey there sister Sharon, that’s a good question try this video. It shows where to measure if you do not have a box cushion. I understand your cushion probably does not look like this. Meaning with the indentation in the center. But you would measure the whole cover seam too seam for ordering a solid foam insert. Sofa Cushion Replacement - How to Fix Flat Sagging L Seat Cushions - 26 Density Foam. You can order at ucprivatecourses.com. Let me know if you have anymore questions, there is live chat on the website. Cheers, Paul.
Paul and Grant, I have watched your videos and I like them. I have a question. How can I remove seat cushions and seat in my leather sofa? The seats and backs are attached.
Here it goes😂😂😂
Hello,
First thank you for watching the video, glad it was a help. To your great question: I have had to deal with this question several times. To do any of the following steps removing the outside fabrics, you will need replacement upholstery tack strip (sometimes it can be reused if not to bent) or what is called metal ply grip or curve Ease. Depending on what your furniture has now.
It depends on the construction of the furniture. It could be one of several different ways to remove the foam. 1) Maybe there's access from the bottom by removing the dust cover or bottom cover. There might be a zipper at the bottom of the seat platform from under neath. 2) Is going through the outside back, removing the fabric maybe there's access to remove the foam there.I would try the third last, it's a little more work. 3) Remove the outside back fabric as well as the outside fabrics on the sides (YOU DO NOT NEED TO TAKE THEM COMPLETELY OFF, BOTTOM AND SIDES ONLY, FLIP FABRIC UP OUT OF THE WAY). Remove the staples that hold down the platform fabric to the frame (the sides and the back of the platform). When the platform is loose go to the front of the sofa (or chair) and pull the cushions off the sofa. The cushions upside down there should access there.Replace cushions according to the video and reinstall in reverse order. WOW!! MAMMA- MIA. A lot of work RIGHT! Honestly I really wish they would STOP making this style. Most furniture can go for many more years if the cushions could just be replaced when needed, with ease. It's a lot of work so it can cost more then the sofa originally did. Or too much work for the average person so they are not interested in doing it. So it ends up in the landfill. I hope this has helped you to make a decision. Please consider sharing the videos, it helps us a lot when you do. All the best, Paul
Hi Guys, I really enjoy learning all of the great techniques you do!
I will say C- Flower Fields
Hey, thanks, Michele! Also, thank you for your entry, stay tuned to find out if you win!
I have a couch with no removable cushions. It is new and cheep. How can I firm up back and seat cushions. There ie a thin cover on the bottom. Do you have a video or step by that I can follow. Thanks for your time. Marian
How can I condition or clean a leather couch so that the lines (not cracks but deep lines) can be removed?
Hi Glenda, thank you for watching our videos, great question! You can find many leather conditioners and cleaners online, I don't have any recommendations, though I found this one: www.chemicalguys.com/leather-lovers-kit-5-items/HOL_113.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwi_b3BRAGEiwAemPNUyVUDTqjmxDXFCUwCJUFVgHP4MRXpGT7okhfpO_LfPf3YSN9OiFnKBoClg0QAvD_BwE
C is my guess. Thanks for the great info.
Hey Laura, Thank you for watching, unfortunately that contest is over. However you can enter the new contest in Ep. 19 to win a Amazon gift card. Please share the videos with others it helps us when you do. Cheers, Paul
I have a leather couch that is about 10 years old. The seat cushions are getting soft. I want to re-stuff them but my problem is there is only one zipper on the back to a fixed cushion. How do I do about re-stuffing the cushions? There is no other way to get my arms into the cushion far enough to re stuff.
I my friend I here this so often. I hate that style of furniture I wish it was outlawed people end up throwing them in the trash. I don’t know what to tell you. You need an upholster to do it for you. Sorry, all the best Paul
@@ucsolutionsgivingmore Thank you for your reply although I was hoping for something better. Oh well. What I have been doing is filling the seats with the fill from Hobby Lobby and shoving it in as far as my arms will allow. Thanks again.
What if your seat cushions are attached to the actual couch... should I slice into the back of the cushions and see what's in it? Thinking it's poly. My couch was bought back in like 2004 but the couch is still good. Its a wallaway and I would hate to buy a new one.
If you can get to the foam do not throw it away that would be a loss 😞. Sorry for the late response I have been ill. Thank you for watching please share it helps us to keep going. Good question by the way. God bless you Brenda. Paul
Wait You might have a zipper at the bottom of the back cushions check them out. You can pull the inserts out from there.
@@ucsolutionsgivingmore Paul I hope you feel better. No there are no zippers I checked, threw my hand down there where I could. I bought upholstery needles and the matching thread so I will see. I'm gonna have to cut into the seam. Which is fine, I don't entertain or have anyone over except my son for dinner so it's all good. I'll let ya know. Have a great holiday and for thank you for responding.
@@ucsolutionsgivingmore I checked those cushions also. Couldn't find the zippers
I think C for fabric name. I have a couch with the bottom seats attached to the frame. I would love to have boyant seats: couch is less than 3 years old.
Hi Sarah, thanks for checking out our video! We have run into this problem before, there actually a great video that another CZcamsr made that shows you how to remove the foam. czcams.com/video/jIoUwS2Gil8/video.html
Once you watch that video you’ll be able to measure the foam inserts inside similar to what we do in this video: czcams.com/video/NEaNPbRQuCM/video.html
In regards to the firmness of your cushions when ordering, 26 compression is soft, 35 compression is medium, and 45 compression is firm.
I hope this helps!
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
All the best,
Grant
I have a leather love seat and one cushion is lopsided now. I guess we dont' sit that close to the arm but it shouldn't be like that. They are attached and I'm not sure what to do. I am putting a weight on the end that is higher to try to make it more even but disappointed this happened. I wont buy attached cushions again.
Hi Debra, YES!! Do not buy attached cushion furniture again they are trouble. If you can get to the foam inserts you may be able pullout the inserts out and replace it, If not! Sorry not a lot can be done. I have answered this question in the past and will attach my reply I sent the last person who wanted too try to get the inserts out. Thank you for watching, please share the video it helps us when you do. Cheers, Paul
Thank you for watching our video. You have a very common problem, however, it is not easy to walk you through it. We are in the process of trying to find furniture with attached backs to do a video on this subject. On to your question; some attached backs have a zipper at the bottom. Others you need to go through the bottom of the sofa removing the black fabric on the bottom of the sofa. Or others you may need to remove the outside back leather and there might be a zipper on the inside back where you can remove the insert to re-stuff it. If not the outside arms will need to be removed along with the outside back and the seats and/or the inside back cushions (whichever you want to replace) will need to be removed as well, as one unit, not an easy job. I honestly hope you have the first possibility. I hope this has helped you in some way. Please share the videos it helps to keep producing them in the future. All the best, Paul
@@ucsolutionsgivingmore thanks, I'll try your tips, and I wont do this again, for a not so cheap couch I was surprised but now I know what to look for.
I think it is the Corn Flower - 6,000 DR. It looks like a cross stitch pattern I have seen before.
Hello Tracy, YES! That is the correct answer, excellent unfortunately the contest has passed. I want to thank you for watching, I see you have submitted another question, that's a very common question when it comes to attached seat cushions. I have to warn you it's a long answer to your question and requires a lot to remove them. Most people will attempt to remove the cushion with everything involved. As I say in the reply I wish they would stop making attached seat cushions. So look for that answer attache to your comment. The question is so common I have made a template reply. Thank you again for watching it. Please subscribe and share it helps when you do. Cheers, Paul
Oh and I’m guessing C
Blue Blossom is my guess
Great guess, watch our next video to see if you got it right!

This is not even a couch cushion!
Hi Dave,
Thank you for watching our videos! Actually the principle applies to both couch and chair cushions.
