- Learn how to fix a sagging couch quickly and affordably, and with minimal supplies.
We bought our sofa brand new, and within 3 months it was sad, saggy, and uncomfortable. When I sat down on the edge all I could feel was the beam driving into my legs. And it was so saggy that it was almost embarrassing to me.
At first I was very upset. After all, I had done my research before buying a couch. I knew that wood was better than metal, that you wanted the couch to be screwed together and not glued. I had thought of everything...except for the cushions. We special ordered our couch in down, waited 3 months for it to arrive, and signed a form that prevented us from returning it. It had been so comfortable at the store, and I felt tricked. And all I could find myself thinking was how I couldn't wait till I can get a new one.
Then I remembered that coach cushions are really just like giant pillows. And they sell furniture foam at the hardware store. And just like that, my hope was reignited. A little bit of furniture foam, polyfil, and elbow grease later, and we had ourselves a brand new couch.
Over all I was VERY happy with how it turned out. It's been so much more comfortable and attractive, and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

Great video. I plan to do the very same to my daughter-in-law’s down couch. A trick I learned along time ago is to use a dry cleaners plastic bag and put your foam cushion in it with the fill on top. Then it’s easier to slide it into the cover. After inside just ripped the cleaners bag and remove it. Waalaa!!
Wow thats so smart! Thanks for sharing! I’ll definitely try that if I ever have to do this again 🥰
I did the plastic bag trick, but I didn’t rip it off. For the longest time, every time we sat on the couch it sounded like a big fart.
This was a great video voice clear, good humor. I was actually looking for something else, but I watched your entire video. Good job! I applaud women taking care of their home. I’m a 68 year old grandmother and I’ve always fixed it myself!
Thank you so much! 🥹 This means a lot 🥰
Very creative. You're patient, positive and a problem-solver. Loved the video. Gives me something to think about. Thanks.
Good job, Abigail! Love the results!
Great tips ! I'm much more prepared to tackle my couch refresher after watching your video. Thanks !!
This is just the fix I need for my sofa cushions. Thank you for this video!
Looks so much better, I need to reupholster my cushions as they've frayed now but it's a great frame shape and goes so nicely with my living room that I don't want to replace it.
I use an electric carving knife. Cuts through the foam like butter!
You can store the extra poly fill in one of those large plastic ziplock storage bags that have the vacuum hole for removing the extra air from the bag. Great way to store extra poly without taking up much space.
That’s a great idea!
This is so helpful! Thank you for making this!
Of course! I’m so glad it helped! I was literally on the verge of getting rid of my couch and buying a new one when I thought of furniture foam 😅
This video was most definitely helpful. I was about to chuck my couch in the garbage! That beam against the back of my thighs was torture! Today I am steaming the stationary parts of the sofa. I will was my cushion covers again. And hope I'm happy once I do the foam and stuffing you suggest. Thanks so much!
I’m so glad it helped! 🥰 It’s made such a difference for us! Good luck ☺️☺️
This is so brilliant!..I've just brought an expensive new 2 sofas. In less than 2 weeks they are sagging and uncomfortable. I'm furious!! 😡. I was looking at getting new foam but just came across this. Definitely going to do this!..thank you so much..🥰
Glad I ran across your video. It was very helpful 😊.
Oh my gosh thank you for this video! I was stressing over our new couch sagging so quickly! Will definitely be doing this to ours! ❤
I'm glad it was helpful! I was feeling the same way when ours started sagging. Good luck! ❤
Wonder whear I can buy te furnarure foam would I try a big DIY store like b and q or a hombase
You are one pretty lady! Thanks for the video!
You also could have covered the foam with a twin fitted sheet in same color as sofa tightening with large safety pins
Nice 👏🏾
Thanks for your video!!! About to try this on my couch....wish me luck😅
Good luck! Keep us posted! You’ve got this 🥰
You can buy furniture fabric stain protection spray to prevent staining
Heeey.. are you still using Grande Lash?
Hi Abigail. How are the sofa cushions holding up and how is the comfort level now that you have been sitting on them for a few months?
Sorry for the late response but, since I made the video the cushions are still much better than before I stuffed the couch. I did end up adding the rest of my polyfill in, about 10 months after I filmed this video, mostly to get rid of the excess polyfil, but also to refresh the couch. All in all, I'd say it is holding up very well and I am so glad I did it! Even before the refresh.
My sofa cushions are not removable. And they are sagging. Any way of fixing this?
You did that!!
It wasn’t too hard! ☺️ I wrapped my kitchen in contact paper and it took me a collective 80 hours, so this project was a breeze 😂
Here's an interesting thing I've just learned. I had the same problem as you describe, which looks awful and is not nice to sit on a saggy seat cushion. The thing is that after unzipping and removing the seat cover, the old filling can be put back in place, and is very comfortable. Sure, you need to put a luxury throw over the actual cushions that are sans cover, but it is surprising to find out that the fillings are still good to use - if you dispense with the outer covers (that you're packing with extra foam). It's that simple. However, I have paid an upholstery firm to put brand new top quality foam inside the zip open couch covers. And these will be ready in a few days, at a reasonable cost. (And I've not had to order foam online and struggle with cutting it up myself. So, just two alternatives mentioned here, if it helps anyone. Either do without the cover and use the filling with a sheet wrapped round it and a decorative throw on top, or pay a professional, not too much more than the cost of that foam in your link, and no offence, get all new foam into the bargain, professionally done.
I need to do this to my couch
It was a GAME CHANGER
Do you recommend using polyfil in the seat cushions too?
I was planning on doing that originally, but there ended up being no room left after I put in the foam. I also found the furniture foam to be more sturdy, so I’m happy that I chose that, but you could just use polyfil for a little boost!
Mine too feathers and it was expet
Send it back!
Hello! Did you use the 3 inch foam or the 4 inch?
I used 3 inch (:
Hello, how has it held up since? I'm watching this 11 months later and curious how it's held up since.... We bought a $1700.00 down sofa as well and I'm having the same issue.
Its held up pretty well! I did end up stuffing the rest of the polyfill in about 6 months later, but it was more to get rid of the rest of it than because the couch had sagged back to its pitiful pre-stuffed state. With that being said, I think the foam helped the most. I'd definitely recommend this diy.
Thanks! any chance you'll be doing a follow up video?

plus post moreee
Sorry! I have soooo much going on right now in my personal life, but I promise I will post soon 🤍 Thank you for watching, and being patient with me. I appreciate your support!
@@Abigail_Halseyi like your videos. Pls post more. I also have alot too. But I try to post. See you soon 😊
@@NesvillaGlam1 I'm back to posting once a week and am also trying to be more active on instagram!🥰 Thanks so much for your support guys, it means a lot ❤
White sofas look good but show all the dirt
This will last for a short time and that new cheap foam will flatten and you'll be right back where you began. I think you'd be better off getting some sofa slats that are made for this.
Kah chooo!!! 😢 feathers
Feather filled is cruel!
It still looks terrible 😂
Why would anyone buy a down feather sofa or anything down. Do you know the cruelty involved in obtaining the feathers??? It's horrible!!
Yes ,horrible.
Hah those jeans! They’re terrible
Totally unrelated question to this video but...do you still do the inversion method for hair growth and do you still believe that it works? Thank you so much 🙂
