Cushions

[chinook507]

Has anyone here ever restuffed their own sofa and dinnete cushions? If so how did you setermine what size cushions to buy? Where did you get them and what foam density?

I replaced dinette cushions with foam from http://www.foambymail.com aka The Foam Factory.

They have measurement instructions:

This place has darn good prices, including good shipping prices, and a great video showing you how to put the new foam in your old covers (plastic trash bags & vacuum cleaner). It worked great (although I still have a bit of the plastic trash bag on the inside...

Poke around their site - it's chock-full of good information:

If I recall correctly, the foam for the dinette, including shipping, was just under $100.

Just wanted to post a follow-up THANK YOU! The dinette cushions in my 2011 Coachmen were pretty worn out. I found this post a few months back and I just took delivery of my new foam yesterday. Perfectly cut and only 2 weeks from time of order to delivery. I went with their firmest foam and I couldn't be happier! You can't go wrong with buyfoam.com 🙂

Ditto on the auto place.
Have them use the firmest foam wraped in a softer layer.

I've redone the foam in two of our rigs. Most recently I found a local automotive upholstery shop and took the cushions in. I chose the firmest foam they had available and it has worked out fine.

I gave up on stuffing the old cushions. They were terrible. The BIL is an upholsterer and he sewed me up some new ones with new foam. I bought all the materials at an upholstery distributor. Good quality medium firm foam sheets are 1/3-> 1/2 the price of what I can find online. You probably have a similar distributor in a City close to you.

Conventionally, the foam comes in a 24" Wide sheet, 72" Long. Assuming you don't have a foam cutter, an electric carving knife is a good choice. After cutting the pieces needed to dimension, if you need a wider cushion, the foam is glued together with a spray foam adhesive. It's really pretty easy.
