Purchasing new cushions is easy when you know exactly what to look out for.
When it comes to finding replacement cushions
for your sofa or couch, there are several variables that must be
considered. For instance, as a society, the average American weights 20%
more than years ago. This is a substantial increase and has been
incorporated within the construction of mattresses. Certain cushions are
now designed to withstand additional weight. Here are some tips on what
you should keep an eye out for when finding your new cushions.
What to Consider In Your New Cushions
Before you go about purchasing your new cushions, it’s important that
you consider the overall firmness of the cushion itself. Remember,
cushions will eventually lose its firmness over time. If you buy one
that’s too soft, you’ll likely be replacing it much quicker than you
would with a denser one.
The Difference between Seat Cushions and Back Cushions
Seat cushions are essentially designed with a high quality foam core
that is surrounded by a mixture of feathers and down – they may also add
some fiber. Back cushions on the other hand, are purely a mixture of
feathers, down, and fiber. You can also purchase spring down seat
cushions, which utilize a spring set within the foam core to provide
additional support.
Consider the Variables
Once you have selected the right couch or sofa cushions, make sure
that you measure accurately. Cushions are typically measure by two
values: density and IFD (indentation force deflection). Density is the
mass of weight per cubic foot while IFD measures the feel of the
cushions. The lower the IFD rating of the cushion, the softer it will
feel – and vice versa.
