FYI, some Dacron fills are slick and silky feeling while others are rough and clingy. You should consider replacing fills that are not slick and silky in texture.

Top Tier! Just did mines and looks wayyy better. I appreciate the advice!

Thank you for posting this! Those cushions look exactly like the ones I’m having trouble with.

Amazing! i would have thrown that filler away LOL... never even thought of pulling apart & re-fluffing... what a huge difference that made for little effort TFS

Thank you Lisa🙂

Worked brilliantly!! Thank you so much!

Great video! I just bought a new chair and the back cushion feels half-filled. I'll try breaking up the dacron and maybe adding more before resorting to replacing with a polyurethane block. Thanks!

Thank You very much for that video 🎉 I managed to fix my 5 large sofa pillows. Thank you.

Thanks for the video! My couch cushion seems to have the opposite issue. It seems overstuffed and the inner bag is just one big bag. No separate compartments.

How do you fix couch cushions with marshall springs inside the foam? The springs are in good shape, albeit the cloth surrounding springs have a few tears, but not enough to worry about. Should I re-build the foam boxing or just replace the top and bottom foam with a firmer foam? I love to sit on a cushion that are built this way - it reminds me of the more comfortable furniture from "back in the day." If you have any advice, or a link, let me know.

Where i can that white part in which you filling that fibre cotton mine sofa cushion white thing is tear apart i need that white thing inside cloth!

Thanks so much just took apart my one cushion that is used all the time and fluffed insides and put back together! I many add some material from an old pillow later.. What material do you suggest if I want to buy some fill? TYIA

Can you make a video on how to make our saggy couch sofa cushions firm?

@MarksUpholstery

6 ай бұрын

Saggy cushions can be caused by worn out foam or poor deck support. When I come across this issue I will produce a video.

How easy is it to replace/remake the pocket that holds the dacron? I am planning to "restuff" my cushion backs as you have suggested here but I some of my sofa back cushions have liner that has torn and can't be resown. Is this easy?

@MarksUpholstery

Not easy. Just refluff as needed

Mine don’t have any channels! They are just loose stuffing in the whole thing! No wonder out looks like crap now! I want to add foam. Do you have a video on how to create a down cover for the foam?

Is there something I can do when the insert material is disintegrating around the fill? When I try to fix the stuffing, it is just like a big dust storm of disintegrated insert material.

If your tick is not rotting you can put it in a dryer or out in the sun till it fluffs up. If the down is mixed with fiber, just do the same as the video

What about cushions that don't have the box pleat at top? It's just a straight seam. I believe the bottom is more squared. Will this same process work for ones that just have one seam at the top?

Hey Mark, hoping to watch the complete video after work today and get my cushions restuffed this weekend but I have a question. When I unzipped my cushions last, I noticed that the inside paper like liner material inside was quite damaged and torn because our dog can be a bit rough. Any thoughts on what to about this? Is it something I can purchase, measure roughly, stuff, and replace?

It is common for these light weight tickings to tear or disintegrate. Minor damage can be patched with another fabric and a little spray glue. Major damage requires full replacement

I’ve noticed there are online sites that offer custom inserts, but I can’t recommend any due to lack of experience ordering from them. It’s ok to be a little too big, but problematic when too small.

Mine don't unzip 😢

What if they are full of feathers instead of Dacron?

@MarksUpholstery

3 ай бұрын

Typically, all down can loose its fluff due to drawing moisture and oils. Depending on the integrity of the ticking, it can be left outside on a hot sunny day or put in a big dryer. These can allow it to regain some fluff. A lot of cushions may have down mixed with Dacron. In some cases they can be treated like Dacron, but in my shop they are typically replaced with either all down or Dacron.

its unavoidable..... dacron/kodel, polycloud/cluster fiber, and even "microdenier" siliconized hollow fiber polyester (Trillium) "skins over" polyester-on-polyester self-adhesion.... even if you fill in the gaps around these "logs" or "sausages" of densified material.... they will just skin over again with an EVEN DENSER set of baffle-shaped logs.
