Sounds good Joel. Maybe we will do that in our next video lol. This is just a quick fix for guys that don't have time do new upholstery. One of the many ways to fix your seat. Always pull a new seat cover on top of this. See more at CoversAndCamo.com
Thanks for the video! So many vehicles need this, that's the area that can really get worn out! Let me share what has worked very well for me for FREE MATERIAL!, much of which I've learned from my brother who is a professional upholster, with making a new bench or van bench seat or boosting old car seat foam: For car seats that need boosting, most often they just need more foam added to be like new again, I find used carpet pad foam often in a neighbor's trash or dumpster behind a carpet store. Remove the car seat fabric clips and carefully peel the front and sides of the fabric to gain access under the seat foam core, which often requires the seat be unbolted from the floor. Place a sheet of it or two under the seat foam core, right on top of the spring wire deck(carpet pad foam is tougher than the core so this also stops the spring wire deck from cutting into the seat foam core bottom). Your second sheet can be cut smaller just covering the area the butt sits on. Also inspect the top of the foam core and add carpet pad foam or regular foam where might be needed like by the door, worn from getting in and out over the years. Spray adhesive can be used to bond the foam to the foam but is not necessary except for any top foam added. Your seats will be firm and new like for many years now, it's like free magic! The seat back usually doesn't need a any foam because it's the seat that gets the body weight on it from gravity. If you seat back should need a boost, you can add polyfill batting on top of the foam for free-see below. These methods can also be used on sofa seat cushions. I'll share below where to find FREE used good foam below! To make a bench- where to get free foam: there is so much FREE foam and FREE polyfill - in many soft pillow backs and polyfill batting often wrapped around foam cushions for the taken in people's discarded sofa's and chairs found outside dumpsters at apartment complexes and the back of thrift stores. Even though it's used, it has been well protected covered inside the upholstery. Of course in the event it's a cat lady's furniture and the cats happened to piss all over it, you'll smell it and know to move on lol Most apartments don't allow pets or make it expensive to have a pet so a lot of furniture is pet free. Use a box cutter to open the old furniture to get at the free foam or poly as you need or use the zipper you'll find on some pieces. Some foam in old sofas contain like a 1" thick panel of foam on top of other foam that is perfect thickness to add to your sofa foam to give it the new boost again. Foam can be cut to size using a hack saw loose blade only in your hand holding the end making a sawing motion. New foam looses some of it's firmness over a break in period, say after 5 years depending on how much it's sat on. But then the broken in foam lasts a very very long time at that softer level firmness before it really starts to break down. You might be able to buy complete new expensive foam cushion cores but they will sag after the break in period as well. This is why so often we love a new firm piece of furniture but then it gets soft and saggy on us. Now the sofa companies could to put super firm more expensive foam in their sofa's when new that might be a perfect firmness for us when broken after the 5 years break in period, but then we wouldn't buy the sofa if it's not nice to sit on from the beginning in the show room, so there's the dilemma when you fabric is still in great shape after 5 years but the foam is now sagging. The free fix: So just add more foam if you can firms it up to make it like new again, unzip and compress the foam as you slowly peel off your fabric from the cushion core. Then either add more foam to the top or bottom or hack blade saw through the center horizontal line of the foam core all the way from the back to almost through the front but not through, so you leave a good hinge of foam in the front. Then place about a 1" thick of used foam in the sandwich and holding it closed peel the fabric back over the foam cushion. You can also add more polyfill pad to the cushion core on it's outside to add more softness and support but adding more foam is the big boost. Spray adhesive is optional to bond the foam to the foam. People often think that when the seat sags that the springs under the cushions, have weakened but no, it's the foam, the springs are metal and strong, the foam is just foam. For making complete new cushion tops for say a bench, besides free foam, you might even find a lightly used fabric in some part of a discarded sofa to use IN FACT the back side of sofa's is often a large sheet of fabric that has been hidden against the wall never sat on all it's life and so still brand new! Discarded trash at a dumpster is free for the taking and your reducing what goes to our planet's landfill. This is win win, real free hard core recycling, helping to save our environment as well! Take care!

Yeah it is a nice option for a quick fix. You can find "upholstery foam" online in multiple places. Here is an Amazon link for some. a.co/d/9RnXQm3. I recommend getting the 1 inch high density foam.

I agree, it looks terrible to some who love our cars to be top notch but on an end of life vehicle or for someone scraping by, it's probably the option they need and as long as they're happy then that's what counts.
If your goal is craftmanship sure but if you are tight on money and time and your back hurts from a busted seat it looks like it would do the job to me
Tommy B, the seat covers we offer are pull over covers leaving the original upholstery in place. So you could seperate the cover. You can see some more examples of install videos on our CZcams channel or by going to the website. CoversAndCamo.com. Let me know if that answered your question. Thanks
@@Coversandcamo this type of bonded seat cover to the foam. czcams.com/video/wdkVaFUywVs/video.html In this video this person tried to install universal heating pad, but the actual upholstery he finds out is my subject of question. Mine is bonded like that as well. What can be done to such seats where the foam cracked and there is no way to remove the cover. Can foam buns from other seats be used?
@@tommyb6611 Honestly what I would do is glue on some high density foam that you have shaped to form with the seat (if foam is missing) and then pull a cover over the seat, and don't worry about removing the original upholstery at all. What Year,Make,Model is your seat? I will see if we can get you a recommendation of a good looking pull over cover.
@@Coversandcamo Thank you so much for your attention and helpful information. I hope people read and see you are a proactive person and hope your business grows and benefits. Alas, I am in Europe, so probably no contacts over here, but you have share some helpful ideas and to try and do here, locally. To give back here is an idea to shape foam. Don't know if it was done before or if there is any know-how, but instead of forming by hand each piece as i have seen various youtube videos, using a CNC milling machine to shape the pieces?! Could that be done to achieve the nice and symmetric carving of the seat components and backrest components? You know creating the side rests and grooves for the velcro/metal bar to insert. Thanks again Wish you great business forwards
@@tommyb6611 Oh yeah that would be awesome using a CNC machine to shape the pieces. I am sure it could be done. I have never tried messing around with that though. If you end up doing that would be cool to see. Send me the link if you end up going that route. Thanks for the well wishes. Same to you brother. Thanks - Covers & Camo
Yeah we realized later that we should have shown the seat when it was all finished out. Here is a more updated video that shows the finished cover: czcams.com/video/G09eBCtaThA/video.html. See more covers at www.CoversAndCamo.com.
Ha ha for sure. We have seen that a lot. After packing it with some foam you could try putting one of our seat covers over it as well. Finishes out like this: coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2015-sierra-black-charcoal-sof-touch/
I have a 07 Dodge 3500, you should just put a piece of 4x4 wood in that spot, it would probably be softer. MY ASS IS KILLING ME. LOL thanks for the vid.
Ha ha yeah those original seats wear out pretty fast over the years so it is nice having something on them to help protect the wear and tear. Thanks. www.coversandcamo.com/
Yes we agree, not a lot else more important than a quality foam repair like this :) :) This is a quick way to patch up the seat and then put a custom seat cover over it. Finishes out like this: coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2014-sierra-midnight-croc/
Awesome work!! I have 2011 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300 and my passenger side seat is sagging from my ole lady gitt'en in and out. She's a beast at 185 lbs (she's 5'1") but I ain't got the heart to make her walk when we travel together. Could you repair my seat like you did yours in this video?
Ha ha sounds good brother. Yeah just follow our step by step instructions for the foam repair and then get some seat covers for that Bugatti and then you will be in good shape. See CoversAndCamo.com for the seat cover options.
We are not above using duct tape, ha ha. Some old seats need a little more support. Seats finish out like this once the custom seat covers are on: coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2017-2500-black-ostrich-kryptek-raid/
@J B for real man! We are not sure how this video got so many dislikes either lol. It is just another option that is a lot less expensive than doing new upholstery and brand new foam. But everyone has their opinions. Let us know if you ever need a custom seat cover. Thanks. CoversAndCamo.com
@@Coversandcamo hah yea will do.. Im in the process of purchasing an f 250 which has just a patch behind the drivers seat but the rest of the bench is in good shape so would be a waste to take out the whole bench.... But yea man good job, and I might give you guys a holler! 👍
@@JB-wx4wo Awesome man. Yeah when we buy trucks we pick out the ones with the worst seats because we know they will be a lower purchase price and then we put over a good looking cover and we are good to go. Here is a video of a F 350 I did recently: czcams.com/video/Gi9WMS9OYks/video.html. Holler at us if we can help with anything. Thanks.
Ken, I understand how you might think this is a joke but it is a quick fix for someone that needs to just build up the seat then pull a custom seat cover over it and get back to business. We agree that the ultimate fix is to replace the entire seat cushion but not everyone has time for that. Once you have done this foam repair then you would pull a custom seat cover on top and they finish out like the photos on this page: coversandcamo.com/ Thanks for the comment.
Yes for sure, this repair job is just a quick low cost way to get on the road again and not have a gapping hole on your seat. A full core repair would be better for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Yeah for sure. Please post the install video here when you make the video of that. This is a quick fix. Definitely other options out there. Here are the custom seat covers once you fix that foam. coversandcamo.com/
Hello Brazilian green and yellow eye Alexander, Yeah that would be the best option to fully replace the seat foam. This is just an idea in case you want to do a quick fix that is a lot less labor cost. You obviously would want to pull a customer cover on top of whatever you do. Thanks for the comment. Thanks. CoversAndCamo.com
Has been a good option for a lot of people that have worn their original seat down and don't want to pay for a new seat or new upholstery. You will want to place a seat cover over it when you are done to finish it out. Thanks and good luck. www.coversandcamo.com/
Here is another Dodge repair we did recently. Finished photos on this page: www.coversandcamo.com/2005-dodge-ram-2500-black-sof-touch-and-kryptek-typhon-trim-seat-covers.html
might as well have a video telling ppl to stuff their seat with garbage and ducktape. super low standards. I should've known when I saw 234 dislikes compared to 153 likes for this video.
Dennis, what ever you want to pack it with, foam, garbage, t-shirts, or grass clippings, just get it stuffed and then pull over a nice cover on top. Check out the seat covers here: coversandcamo.com/
Kevin, just a quick fix man. Obviously there are better options out there. But you can pack it and then pull a cover over and be good to go without spending too much. Here are the covers here: coversandcamo.com/

Shawn Ramirez c’mon man. Try filming yourself on CZcams for 5min straight and then we can analyze it.. it’s harder than you think. We took the time out to make a video to help a few people that want a quick fix for their seat. We weren’t submitting this for a public speaking contest. :)
Ha ha it is just a quick patch before putting covers over it. Obviously we would leave it without a cover on the seat. Once you put the foam on them pull the cover over it. This is how they finish out once you pull the cover over: czcams.com/video/ZrJ-PdAaqfk/video.html. Thanks
Ha ha. Thanks for the comment. Keep in mind, after putting in the high density foam, the seat covers will finish out like this. coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2014-sierra-midnight-croc/
Realidade, yes it is a quick fix repair. After putting down some of that foam you can then pull a custom fit seat cover over the top. See how they finish out here: coversandcamo.com/
Please for the love of god do not do this.. take it to an upholstery shop we will fix it for less than 200 bucks and make it look and feel new. That doesnt work longer than 10 rides
Paul we have had feedback from hundreds of customers that this works for several years for them. They are installing a tight seat cover over the top obviously. But for sure new upholstery would be ideal but not everyone across the country can drive in to your upholstery shop to get that done. This is a cheap way to get it fixed up for awhile. New upholstery would be best but this is good for a second choice. Just curious do you have a CZcams channel where you help people figure out their upholstery solutions? I would be curious to check it out. Thanks. CoversAndCamo.com
Thanks for the comment Myrtho, lol. We laugh at this sometimes as well. Our methods may be unconventional but we can get a truck seat back in decent condition without too much down and finishing it out with a nice seat cover makes all the difference. Check out this GMC Sierra we did recently. (Although it may be hard to tell this is a pull over seat cover, not new upholstery) www.coversandcamo.com/2015-gmc-sierra.html Hope all is well for you!

If your goal is craftmanship sure but if you are tight on money and time and your back hurts from a busted seat it looks like it would do the job to me
This type of seat cover, is it like most seats where you can separate the cover or is the foam injected inside and cannot be replaced?
Tommy B, the seat covers we offer are pull over covers leaving the original upholstery in place. So you could seperate the cover. You can see some more examples of install videos on our CZcams channel or by going to the website. CoversAndCamo.com. Let me know if that answered your question. Thanks
@@Coversandcamo this type of bonded seat cover to the foam.
czcams.com/video/wdkVaFUywVs/video.html
In this video this person tried to install universal heating pad, but the actual upholstery he finds out is my subject of question.
Mine is bonded like that as well.
What can be done to such seats where the foam cracked and there is no way to remove the cover.
Can foam buns from other seats be used?
@@tommyb6611 Honestly what I would do is glue on some high density foam that you have shaped to form with the seat (if foam is missing) and then pull a cover over the seat, and don't worry about removing the original upholstery at all. What Year,Make,Model is your seat? I will see if we can get you a recommendation of a good looking pull over cover.
@@Coversandcamo Thank you so much for your attention and helpful information.
I hope people read and see you are a proactive person and hope your business grows and benefits.
Alas, I am in Europe, so probably no contacts over here, but you have share some helpful ideas and to try and do here, locally.
To give back here is an idea to shape foam. Don't know if it was done before or if there is any know-how, but instead of forming by hand each piece as i have seen various youtube videos, using a CNC milling machine to shape the pieces?!
Could that be done to achieve the nice and symmetric carving of the seat components and backrest components?
You know creating the side rests and grooves for the velcro/metal bar to insert.
Thanks again
Wish you great business forwards
@@tommyb6611 Oh yeah that would be awesome using a CNC machine to shape the pieces. I am sure it could be done. I have never tried messing around with that though. If you end up doing that would be cool to see. Send me the link if you end up going that route. Thanks for the well wishes. Same to you brother. Thanks - Covers & Camo
You should show it finished
Yeah we realized later that we should have shown the seat when it was all finished out. Here is a more updated video that shows the finished cover: czcams.com/video/G09eBCtaThA/video.html. See more covers at www.CoversAndCamo.com.
thanks
You are welcome man
You see i found that old t-shirts worked just fine on my truck
Ha ha for sure. We have seen that a lot. After packing it with some foam you could try putting one of our seat covers over it as well. Finishes out like this: coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2015-sierra-black-charcoal-sof-touch/
I have a 07 Dodge 3500, you should just put a piece of 4x4 wood in that spot, it would probably be softer. MY ASS IS KILLING ME. LOL thanks for the vid.
Ha ha yeah those original seats wear out pretty fast over the years so it is nice having something on them to help protect the wear and tear. Thanks. www.coversandcamo.com/
How to do a *quick* repair with your seat foam,
might have been a more appropriate title.
Richard, good idea. We will have to change up the title in the next video on this style of repair. CoversAndCamo.com
What's really important in life? I like his repair job.
Yes we agree, not a lot else more important than a quality foam repair like this :) :) This is a quick way to patch up the seat and then put a custom seat cover over it. Finishes out like this: coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2014-sierra-midnight-croc/
sorry I couldnt even finish watching this
Ha ha thanks for the comment Kurt. They finish out like this once you pull the custom seat cover over: czcams.com/video/ZrJ-PdAaqfk/video.html
Awesome work!! I have 2011 Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300 and my passenger side seat is sagging from my ole lady gitt'en in and out. She's a beast at 185 lbs (she's 5'1") but I ain't got the heart to make her walk when we travel together. Could you repair my seat like you did yours in this video?
Ha ha sounds good brother. Yeah just follow our step by step instructions for the foam repair and then get some seat covers for that Bugatti and then you will be in good shape. See CoversAndCamo.com for the seat cover options.
at least he didn't duct tape it. his next video will be how to paint a truck with a push broom
We are not above using duct tape, ha ha. Some old seats need a little more support. Seats finish out like this once the custom seat covers are on: coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2017-2500-black-ostrich-kryptek-raid/
Why so many dislikes... Better than paying 500 dollars
@J B for real man! We are not sure how this video got so many dislikes either lol. It is just another option that is a lot less expensive than doing new upholstery and brand new foam. But everyone has their opinions. Let us know if you ever need a custom seat cover. Thanks. CoversAndCamo.com
@@Coversandcamo hah yea will do.. Im in the process of purchasing an f 250 which has just a patch behind the drivers seat but the rest of the bench is in good shape so would be a waste to take out the whole bench....
But yea man good job, and I might give you guys a holler! 👍
@@JB-wx4wo Awesome man. Yeah when we buy trucks we pick out the ones with the worst seats because we know they will be a lower purchase price and then we put over a good looking cover and we are good to go. Here is a video of a F 350 I did recently: czcams.com/video/Gi9WMS9OYks/video.html. Holler at us if we can help with anything. Thanks.
@@Coversandcamo okay great I just bought it now... So will be in touch!
@@JB-wx4wo Sounds good
Is this some kind of joke.
Ken, I understand how you might think this is a joke but it is a quick fix for someone that needs to just build up the seat then pull a custom seat cover over it and get back to business. We agree that the ultimate fix is to replace the entire seat cushion but not everyone has time for that. Once you have done this foam repair then you would pull a custom seat cover on top and they finish out like the photos on this page: coversandcamo.com/ Thanks for the comment.
How not to repair a foam seat. Lol. Holy hell man. I cant believe all the comments saying this is a great job
Yes for sure, this repair job is just a quick low cost way to get on the road again and not have a gapping hole on your seat. A full core repair would be better for sure. Thanks for the comment.
Get a foam replacement from the wrecking yard, put a new cover over that geez
Yeah for sure. Please post the install video here when you make the video of that. This is a quick fix. Definitely other options out there. Here are the custom seat covers once you fix that foam. coversandcamo.com/
If that was my seat , I would have you replace the whole form piece that I sit on not just putting little pieces inside ,
Hello Brazilian green and yellow eye Alexander,
Yeah that would be the best option to fully replace the seat foam. This is just an idea in case you want to do a quick fix that is a lot less labor cost. You obviously would want to pull a customer cover on top of whatever you do. Thanks for the comment. Thanks. CoversAndCamo.com

you call that a foam repair?
Has been a good option for a lot of people that have worn their original seat down and don't want to pay for a new seat or new upholstery. You will want to place a seat cover over it when you are done to finish it out. Thanks and good luck. www.coversandcamo.com/
Here is another Dodge repair we did recently. Finished photos on this page: www.coversandcamo.com/2005-dodge-ram-2500-black-sof-touch-and-kryptek-typhon-trim-seat-covers.html
might as well have a video telling ppl to stuff their seat with garbage and ducktape. super low standards. I should've known when I saw 234 dislikes compared to 153 likes for this video.
Dennis, what ever you want to pack it with, foam, garbage, t-shirts, or grass clippings, just get it stuffed and then pull over a nice cover on top. Check out the seat covers here: coversandcamo.com/
This is appalling, no wonder people do crap work these days if this is how he does it.
Kevin, just a quick fix man. Obviously there are better options out there. But you can pack it and then pull a cover over and be good to go without spending too much. Here are the covers here: coversandcamo.com/
wow this is bad, remove bad advice
Radek Woj Thanks for the comment. Let us know if you have any other comments
Bldy hell,,,, Who said their were no more cowboys left in America.... ....Yehah
Thank you! YeeHaa is right brother! Lets keep old school American values going strong! Thanks for the comment CoversAndCamo.com
LOL.
We laugh sometimes to. But sitting on a hard bar inside your seat is not funny. So this is a quick way for someone to fix up their seat and then put a nice custom seat cover over it. coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2014-sierra-midnight-croc/
Everyone take a shot whenever he says the word THIS! 😉
Shawn Ramirez c’mon man. Try filming yourself on CZcams for 5min straight and then we can analyze it.. it’s harder than you think. We took the time out to make a video to help a few people that want a quick fix for their seat. We weren’t submitting this for a public speaking contest. :)
Honestly, it looked better before the "repair" lmao. I keep thinking this is a sarcastic joke about foam repair.
Ha ha it is just a quick patch before putting covers over it. Obviously we would leave it without a cover on the seat. Once you put the foam on them pull the cover over it. This is how they finish out once you pull the cover over: czcams.com/video/ZrJ-PdAaqfk/video.html. Thanks
:D:D:DOMG!!!:)What kind of mess is this???:):):)Im scared to imagine How he fix Wheel puncture:)
Ha ha. Thanks for the comment. Keep in mind, after putting in the high density foam, the seat covers will finish out like this. coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2014-sierra-midnight-croc/
Ghetto foam repair
Realidade, yes it is a quick fix repair. After putting down some of that foam you can then pull a custom fit seat cover over the top. See how they finish out here: coversandcamo.com/
Please for the love of god do not do this.. take it to an upholstery shop we will fix it for less than 200 bucks and make it look and feel new. That doesnt work longer than 10 rides
Paul we have had feedback from hundreds of customers that this works for several years for them. They are installing a tight seat cover over the top obviously. But for sure new upholstery would be ideal but not everyone across the country can drive in to your upholstery shop to get that done. This is a cheap way to get it fixed up for awhile. New upholstery would be best but this is good for a second choice. Just curious do you have a CZcams channel where you help people figure out their upholstery solutions? I would be curious to check it out. Thanks. CoversAndCamo.com
Laughing
Thanks for the comment Myrtho, lol. We laugh at this sometimes as well. Our methods may be unconventional but we can get a truck seat back in decent condition without too much down and finishing it out with a nice seat cover makes all the difference. Check out this GMC Sierra we did recently. (Although it may be hard to tell this is a pull over seat cover, not new upholstery) www.coversandcamo.com/2015-gmc-sierra.html Hope all is well for you!
I hope they never have a car fire!
For sure. Always a good idea to keep a fire extinguisher in the car!
Absolutely appalling
Matt, Ha ha yeah if we left the seat with the exposed foam it would be. But the last step not shown in this video is that you will pull over a custom seat cover and it finishes out like this: czcams.com/video/ZrJ-PdAaqfk/video.html
buy an oem foam and a new seat skin and do it right.
Lots of ways to get it done. This is just one way that may save busy guys some time and money. Thanks for the comment. See more of our content at CoversAndCamo.com
Are you fucking serious !!
What a shit repair !!
Andy, it is a quick repair for those not wanting to break the bank. Pull over a custom cover after you do this and you will be in good shape. They finish out like this: czcams.com/video/ZrJ-PdAaqfk/video.html
thats so dumb
Thanks for reaching out, here is a older Dodge that we helped get the seats back into great shape: www.coversandcamo.com/2001-dodge-ram-1500-kryptek-typhon.html
Thanks for the comment! We think its a great way for the busy hard working guy to get a quick fix on his seat so he can be sitting on a little more cushion. Seats finish out like this after the custom seat covers are on. coversandcamo.com/vehicle-gallery/chevy-gmc/2017-2500-black-ostrich-kryptek-raid/
