How to Rescue Your Saggy Couch Cushions

Does your couch look like this picutre? Have your cushions gotten so saggy and lifeless over time? This couch is only 4 years old, and to be honest, we were considering buying a new one. The saggy couch looked awful and it was an even worse place to sit! But before we traded in the old couch, I did a little internet research and figured out how to fix it! So, I’m sharing with you, the information I found and tried and giving you the guide on how to rescue your saggy couch cushions!

This project is cheap and it’s quick! So get ready, here we go!

Supplies Needed:

  • 5-Pound Box of Poly-Fil Premium Stuffing

I got the 10-pound box. That’s WAY more than you need unless you have a bunch of projects planned that involve stuffing things!

You can get Poly-Fil stuffing a LOT of places. Look around for the best coupon always. Amazon always has the Poly-Fil, but often, you can do better going through a craft store and using a coupon for 50% off. Here’s some links to where I found the Poly-Fil:

  • Amazon
  • Joann Fabrics (Use a coupon!!)
  • Michaels Craft Store (Use a coupon!!)
  • Walmart (best price I’ve seen without a coupon! This is a 10-pound box – double the other listings for less $$)

For reference, this is what the box of Poly-Fil will look like:

Project Instructions:

Step 1: Start with your saggy couch cushions:

  • Couch with slouchy and lumpy cushions
  • Couch with slouchy and lumpy cushions
  • Couch with slouchy and lumpy cushions
  • Couch with slouchy and lumpy cushions
  • Couch with slouchy and lumpy cushions

Ew. Right? And so uncomfortable!

Step 2: Unzip Your Cushions

  • Couch cushion with zipper side up
  • couch cushion zipper opened for repair

Step 3: Add Poly-Fil Stuffing To the Cushions

Start adding in the Poly-Fil stuffing. I didn’t take any of the old stuffing out, I simply added in more stuffing. I started with the corners of the pillows and got them all perked up, and then filled the cushions until it was just slightly a struggle to get the cushion to zip back up.

Step 4: Give the Couch Cushions a Good Pat Down

Now that you have the stuffing in the cushion, just pat/punch/massage/squeeze the pillow until it looks nice and smooth and full.

And… BOOM… you are done. Super revitalized couch!!!

Bottom Cushions:

I didn’t do anything to our bottom cushions. They are just wrinkled, but otherwise, their stuffing was doing just fine. But here is a video if that’s not the case for you! These guys show you how to fix your bottom couch cushions!

Wrap Up – How to Rescue Your Saggy Couch Cushions

I am embarrassed to say I hadn’t thought of it until now! We were actually considering getting new furniture! Until my frugality finally kicked in! I’ll take a $20 fix over a new $2,000 couch any day! Let me know if you rescue your saggy couches! Send pics! Until then, just keep shuffling!

Materials

  • None

Instructions

  1. 1. Unzip your couch cushions.
  2. 2. Start adding in the Poly-Fil stuffing. I didn't take any of the old stuffing out, I simply added in more stuffing. I started with the corners of the pillows and got them all perked up, and then filled in the cushions until it was just slightly a struggle to get the cushion to zip back up.

Notes

Make sure you use a coupon to get the Poly-Fil stuffing! The price varies from store to store. The 5-pound box was more than what I needed but it was a MUCH better value than buying the 32-ounce bags of stuffing.
