When Cushions Go Flat: Why Cushion Replacements Are Inevitable

When you buy new cushions for a sofa, replacing them isn’t likely to be the first thing on your mind. Instead, you may be thinking about how the cushions feel and how well they fit your furniture. But the truth is that several years from now, those pristine, perfect cushions won’t support you as well as they do at first. After years of wear and tear, they may not even fit perfectly into your couch’s frame anymore. That’s why it’s important for you to be aware of your cushions’ conditions so you know when you need a replacement.

Nothing lasts forever, including foam. Foam may provide a good balance between firmness and flexibility, but if it is constantly supporting the pressure from your body’s weight, the foam’s structure will break down, resulting in shrinkage and losing its shape. As one of our older blogs shows, one indicator that your cushions are in bad shape is a cushion cover that is always wrinkled and sagging. Cushions aren’t made to be lumpy and uncomfortable. If you’ve compared old cushions to your newer ones, and you’ve noticed that their shape has changed, it’s time to get a cushion replacement.
