In this blog post, we will provide you with the best DIY techniques and tricks that will definitely stop your sofa cushions from sliding and revive the layout of your living room sittings.

Discover the reasons for sliding sofa cushions

If you want a comprehensive solution to the problem of sliding sofa cushions then as a first step you need to find the reason behind the problem, so that you can also address the reason as a part of the solution.

1. Extra smooth and soft fabrics

The fabric material and texture of your sofa cushions are among the underrated reasons that cause sliding of your sofa cushions. Let’s say your sofa belongs to silk-based sofa cushions which are very slippery and lack the necessary friction that helps sofa cushions to remain stuck with the sofa frames. The lack of necessary friction simply leads to the sliding of your sofa cushions. If the fabric belonging to your sofa cushions is non slippery then you can ignore this reason and try to find another one. First of all, try to avoid slippery fabric while shopping for sofas for your living room, but if it is compulsory because of your living room interior design then its solution will be discussed later in this blog post.

It is a commonly observed habit that people put up their feet while sitting casually on the sofa. So when they are sitting on the sofa their feet push the sofa cushions to slide from the original position. It normally happens when you sit on your sofa in an extra relaxing and casual position. In some cases sitting cushions are embedded with the back seats of sofas. It means if the sitting cushions are already attached to the back seats of the sofa then there is no chance of sliding your sofa cushions, it only happens when sitting cushions are separated from the back seats of the sofas. So if you want to avoid this problem then you need to control your body postures while relaxing on your sofa, which means you have to understand the difference between the use of a regular sitting sofa and a sofa bed.

These nonslippery pads are available in different sizes so that they can fit well according to the size of your sofa cushions. Let’s say you have a customized sofa and you aren't able to find the best-matched size of non-slipping pads then you can also cut these pads to adjust according to the size of your sofa cushions. These non slipping pads are usually not adhesive in nature and made with rubber material with enough capacity to create reasonable friction.

2. Use of Velcro

These are polyester or nylon-based strips and are normally used as making material for bags, kid's shoes, and other relevant products. These hook and loop strips are also considered an effective way to stop sofa cushions from sliding. However, these strips are originally known as hook and loop strips or sofa cushion grippers but are also called Velcro which is actually a brand of this specific product. These strips are very easy to apply; you need to place one adhesive side with the sofa cushions and another adhesive side with frame of the sofa but at the same angle.

When you have decided on a location for your reclining sofa, test it for all dimensions and make sure it is operating in the flow without any hurdles. If you have placed the reclining sofa near a wall, it may cause damage to this wall. It only happened when you didn’t spare enough space between the wall and the reclining sofa.

Keep your reclining sofa free from surroundings

It is very bad practice to use your reclining sofa to carry the surrounding items in your living room. It is normally the habit of little kids to stuff the reclining sofa with items like books, water bottles, and school bags. Other furnishing items like lamps and table vases may also damage the fabric of the reclining sofa if these are misplaced.

Functionality of reclining sofa button

In normal practices when someone decides to arrange a reclining sofa with loveseats or other furniture items the functionality of the reclining sofa button is ignored. If you want to add a reclining sofa to your living room then make sure the button or lever of the sofa shall be free of any blockage. The lever of your reclining sofa may be blocked due to the side table or any other hurdle near it. Some levers of the reclining sofa may also be locked automatically due to these surrounding furniture items but not due to regular use. So it is impossible that someone want to have a reclining sofa if he can’t be able to use it due to this avoidable problem of lever blockage.

Process of Maintenance

If you are familiar with a sofa bed then you must have an idea it needs time-to-time maintenance so that it can work in a regular flow. Similarly, a reclining sofa also needs maintenance so that it can work smoothly for the long term time period. To keep yourself updated on the maintenance process the operating guidelines of the reclining sofa help you a lot. By using this operating guideline you can timely check the loose bolts, reclining parts, and overall process of maintenance. This timely check on the maintenance process of the reclining sofa must prevent your reclining sofa from any major dysfunction.

Cleaning care

If you want to add a reclining sofa to your living room you must be well aware of its cleaning methods. The cleaning care process varies from fabric to fabric, if you have velvet-based fabric then you must need the right vacuum machine. But if you have a reclining sofa with leather-based fabric then you only need a simple dusting machine.

Practical ways to answer the question "How to arrange a reclining sofa and loveseat?"

These practical methods also guide you to arrange other sofas and loveseats. let's explore these ways.

1. Decide the number of reclining sofas and loveseats

The first and foremost important step before arranging the reclining sofa and loveseats is to decide their quantities. If you don’t know the exact numbers, then it is impossible to take the next step. The space of your living room is another important factor in deciding, how many reclining sofas and loveseats you can arrange in your living room.

2. Asymmetric way to arrange a reclining sofa and love seat

The asymmetric arrangement is like the causal type of arrangement for reclining sofas and love seats. Because of this casual aspect you can add easily love seats with the already-arranged reclining sofa. It can help you to manage a balanced and creative look for your living room. There is also the flexibility of creating a conversation area within the sitting area of reclining sofa and love seats.  This seating arrangement is also a great choice for houses with open-floor living areas. If you want to arrange a reclining sofa with simple loveseats but not reclining loveseats, then again asymmetrical arrangements are a smart choice for you.

The major concern behind the arrangement of the living room is to create a balanced, stylish, and decent look of the living room. So you may need to add suitable furnishing items like a coffee table vase to make this arrangement satisfactory for you.

3. Manage Conversation areas

Living rooms are usually designed and used to spend casual time with other family members. So if you are unable to chit-chat through normal body postures then the real purpose and flavor of the living room will be dissatisfying for you. Therefore while doing arrangements of reclining sofa and love seats you need to create a conversation space so that you can easily do chit-chat with your family members or surprised guests.

4. Adjust tables to arm-length

If you want to add a side table or coffee table while arranging reclining sofas and loveseats, make sure that arrangements of these tables are placed at arm's length place. If these tables are not useful then they may become a problem for a decent flow of traffic within your living room.

5. Understand the lighting system to arrange a reclining sofa and love seat

You must be well aware of the angles of the lighting system of your living room while deciding the arrangement of reclining sofa and loveseats. If there is a problem in the arrangement of the reclining sofa with the loveseats to a specific roof light then you may adjust this deficiency with floor lamps. However ideal arrangement of reclining sofas and loveseats is that every light in the living room looks naturally functional for this arrangement. This ideal arrangement can be helpful for you to utilize your living room in a decent colorful environment.

6. Add suitable rugs

When you have to arrange multiple furniture items within your living room then you must take care of floor items. The size of the rug can be a vital element to enhance the finished look of your whole arrangement of reclining sofas with loveseats. However the suitable design and color of the rugs can be a bonus point for it. Make sure that the legs of the sitting person are comfortably stretched within the range of the floor rug.

Final Thoughts

It will definitely give you a volatile look at your living room as a final product. These factors also guide you to arrange your living room with 2 or more recliners.

If the sofa cushion belongs to your living room sofa becomes saggy or flattened as time passes then it is an alarming situation for you. This is not the only reason, your sofa cushion may suffer with severe attacks by the pets you have in your house. Pets not only tear the sofa cushion cover but also scrap the internal foam filling of the sofa cushion. It only happens when you fail to maintain the proper cleaning care of your living room sofa. But if your sofa cushion foam becomes useless due to any accidental reason you can easily replace it. So this blog post is all about providing you with the best solution about how to replace sofa cushion foam.

Sofa cushion foam explained

Sofa cushion is primarily made from sheep hair, feathers, and natural cotton. These traditional material items are primarily used as stuffing material in the overall making of sofa cushions. This stuffing material always required special care to maintain its original shape. If you fail to maintain proper care of feather, cotton, and sheep hair-based sofa cushions, it will become flattened and saggy with the passage of time. In the mid-20th century, a German chemist Otto Bayer did some routine experiments with a plastic-based product called polyurethane, and in 1941 he discovered a material like foam from it.

This research continued up to 1950 and then this foam was first time used as a filling stuff in the making of different furniture items. This filling stuff gained early popularity because it is comparatively more comfortable and economical than other traditional options. The major drawback of foam made from polyurethane is its high flammability and lower resistance, which is why manufacturers introduced new foam made from polypropylene into the market. The foam made from polypropylene plastic is more durable and adaptable than polyurethane foam. This detailed analysis also helps you to find the best filling for sofa seat cushions. The following are the most popular types of foam used in the making of sofa cushions.

  • Polyurethane Foam
  • Polypropylene Foam
  • Latex Foam
  • Memory Foam
  • Gel Foam
  • Rebonded Foam
  • Down wrap (Feather) Foam

Collect necessary tools to replace sofa cushion foam

  1. Measuring tape
  2. Foam cutting blade
  3. Sharp kitchen knife (optional)
  4. Adhesive spray
  5. New foam for replacement
  6. Marking pen
  7. Padding material
  8. Silicon spray

Verify the foam density for your sofa cushion

The first and most important step in replacing your sofa cushion foam is verifying its density. It will help you to find the right density of the replacement foam. You can easily find the density of the new foam by dividing the weight (Pounds) by the length x width x height (feet). Finding the density of the foam also helps you in the assessment of the required space in your sofa cushion cover. The recommended density for new foam is 1.8 per cubic feet according to industry norms, but you can also use the foam with a density of 2 to 2.5 per cubic feet.

If you decide to replace your sofa cushion with high-density foam then you can avoid adding extra padding material to make it fluffier. The new replacement foam is normally available in the form of blocks. It is quite possible that high-density foam initially looks firmer but it will adjust with the passage of time.

Measurement and cutting of foam

The measurement of foam is a crucial step in the process of replacement of sofa cushion foam. Sometimes people use old cushion foam to take measurements for new foam but this is totally a wrong approach. The best way to take measurements for new foam is to use your sofa cushion cover. You can easily measure and mark the width, length, and height from one corner to another corner by using the measuring tape. You can also cross-check the length by taking measurements from parallel dimensions.

It is recommended that you spare a space of 1 to 2 inches from the original measurement, which helps with the adjustment of replacement foam in the existing sofa cushion cover. You need to be very careful while marking the measurement of replacement foam. Once you have done with the measurement of the new foam, you need to cut the foam by following the marked lines in the final step. Before cutting the new foam, test the sharpness of the cutting blade on the disposed foam that you have separated from the existing sofa cushion cover.

Replacement of sofa cushion foam

As we know you have already removed the sofa cushion cover from the old foam during the measurement process of the new foam. So as a first step, you can use silicon spray to remove the adhesiveness of the old stuffing material from the sofa cushion cover. After that, you need to do adhesive spray to the all dimensions of the new foam and wrap the batting material to the all dimensions of the new foam. In the third step, you need to cut the extra batting material from the corners of the new foam. In the last step, you simply need to stuff this new foam in your existing sofa cushion cover.

When you have completed the replacement process, you must sit for few minutes on the new sofa cushion so that the new stuffed foam will adjust to the existing sofa cushion cover. If you still feel firmness from the replaced sofa cushion then don’t worry it will automatically adjust within a few days. This step also guides you to insert foam into a couch cushion.

The two cousins are known by the names of Knabush and Shoemaker. In 1968, David Palmer (massage therapist) introduced a new massaging chair for his patients. This chair is not exactly a recliner chair but is designed in the same pattern as a reclining chair.

2. Filling of sofa cushions (Internal material)

Feather-filled sofa cushions

The sofa cushions filled with feathers are considered a powerhouse of comfort and coziness. The feather filling is considered a high-rated and expensive filling as compared to the other filling options in the market. The upholstery process is easily applicable to sofa cushions with feather-based fillings. The fluffiness of the sofa cushions with feather fillings depends upon the quantity of feathers used in it. If you get customized sofa cushions from the market, then you have the option to increase the feather filling in it. If you want high-class and comfortable sofa cushions for your living room sofas, then feather-based filling is the best material for your sofa cushions. 

Latex filling for sofa cushions

Latex filling is made with natural material, like the sap of rubber trees. Latex filling is available in different types based on the making process. The most common types are natural latex, blended latex, and synthetic latex. Natural latex is made from 100% sap of rubber trees, while bent latex is made from a blend of sap and styrene a type of synthetic material. However, synthetic latex is totally made with artificial products like styrene and butadiene.

The price of natural latex is high as compared to blended and synthetic latex. Natural latex contains special components of oak protein, which makes it a more hygienic option for users. The comfort and durability level also vary from one type (Natural latex) to another type (synthetic latex). There is always a huge gap between demand and supply of latex filling due to limited production. Latex filling is helpful for your sofa cushions to maintain their original shape easily due to their elastic texture.

Soy-based filling

It is slightly a unique type of filling because it is made with a blend of natural ingredients like soy for soya beans and polyurethane. Besides, this blend filling is also made with 100% natural products like soy from the soya beans. This filling is considered a type of foam specially designed for sofa cushions. The price of this filling is high in the market.

Cotton based filling

This filling is purely made with 100% cotton, and it is one of the most comfortable and fluffy options for your sofa cushions. The sofa cushions filled with cotton-based filling require special care to maintain their original shape, that's why the cotton filling is less durable as compared to foam, or latex filling for sofa cushions. So, it's your choice whether cotton filling is the best material for your sofa cushions or not, considering the demands of your living room.

Memory foam filling

It is a type of foam that is initially used in making mattresses, but in today's modern world, it is also designed for filling sofa cushions. The manufacturers highly focus on the comfort and durability of the foam, which is why it has become more popular in the filling of sofa cushions. It is specially designed to adjust according to the human body by considering its weight, that's why it also provides extra comfort for the patients of joint pain.

The price of this memory foam filling is high in the market, but it is still high demanding product in the market. It has an extra quality of heat retention, which also makes it more users' friendly. The filling is made with high-density foam, which provides extra firmness and durability to the users. The low and medium-density foams are less durable due to shorter life spans.

Final words

The external fabric used in the making of sofa cushion covers plays a vital role in enhancing the beauty and style of the sofa, but people always underestimate it when deciding the best material for the sofa cushions of their living room. In my opinion, external presentation is also equally important along with the durability and comfort of sofa cushions, so always try to balance the external presentation along with the comfort and durability of your sofa cushions.

Which Sofa Material is Best for Hot Weather; 4 Exp

When deciding which sofa material is best for hot weather, you must consider some important factors such as moisture absorption, breathability, and strong dye shades. Make sure that all these three factors are equally available if you have a strong concern for the best sofa material for your living room sofa.

Comfort and maintenance are the two additional factors that make the choice of your sofa material (fabric) more comprehensive.  However, these five factors also increase the durability of sofa material (fabric) for other seasons as well.

Cotton

Cotton sofa material is made with strongly woven light fibers, which makes it an attractive option for the upholstery material of a sofa.

Linen

Undoubtedly linen is another excellent option as a sofa material (fabric) for hot weather. It is mostly made with natural resources like fibers of flax plants, but you can also get linen in terms of a blend of natural (flax plants) and artificial (synthetic) resources. But the linen made with pure natural resources is more durable and aesthetically appealing than the artificial making options. The basic fiber in linen is heavy but it is less tightly woven as compared to cotton, which would make it breathable in hot and humid weather.
Linen also has heat regulation properties, which can make it refreshing and cool when the temperature is high in the surroundings of your living room.

It can easily absorb moisture not only from the air but also from a sweating person using the sofa. The absorption of moisture didn’t mean the fabric of the linen became damp infact it can revive its original expressions through automatic drying capacity.

Leather

Leather will be a satisfying option as a sofa material for hot weather if you can manage the type and quality of the leather.

Microfiber

This sofa material (fabric) is made from artificial synthetic fiber like polyester, which is more durable than other synthetic fibers like nylon. Polyester is strongly breathable to surrounding air. It is not good enough to absorb moisture like other natural sofa materials (fabric) like cotton and linen. Microfiber has a very smooth texture which can make it very comfortable among other artificial fabric options in the market. It has an additional unique quality that is good anti-allergic for sensitive users. Instead of absorbing moisture, it will be a very good resistor to the moisture in the air like leather.
