    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.

    I personally stopped making inner spring cushions years ago. I either regrown and wrap them or replace with solid foam

    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.

    I have chairs like that with a cut out for the legs. Is it possible to upholster the seat pad and still get it to fit in the space. Do you have a video showing how to upholster the seat pad and still pop it back in the chair. Previously it was 'seagrass' but my cat has destroyed that and so I would like to reupholster with fabric but unsure how to work round the cut out areas.

    Hey Mark, How awesome of you to share that information with us when you could have easily kept it to yourself, requiring us to visit someone like yourself to restore the comfort end of our parson's chairs. I purchased some parson's chairs (second hand) and am finally getting around to reupholstering them, but noticed that the seat portion sagged quite a bit. I'm so excited that you're kind enough to share some great insight and advice for those of us who are not professionals. It looks like I could stand to watch a few more of your videos as well, so I'm a grateful new subscriber! Thank you again for so willingly sharing what "the average Joe or Jill" can do to restore this parson's chair!

    You want the cording itself(not the salvage) to straddle the edge of the wood.
