Sofa is getting soft

We all know RV furniture is usually cheaply made. This travel trailer is less than 1 year old and we've noticed the sofa doesn't seem as firm now and the upholstery is stretching slightly so we can see where we sat. I expect others have had this experience so please share anything you did. Thank you

    We reupholstered all of our furniture including the two captains chairs. We removed the fabric and used it as a pattern. We used Ultra Leather Plus to recover everything. We bought good quality high density foam and replaced the existing foam.

    In our previous trailer we replaced the sofa (which was never comfortable) with two nice recliners.

    Have new foam pieces cut to replace the old soft sest cushions. Not cheap, but should improve things a bit.
