Fluffy Cushions are not Forever

Like with everything else, old age catches up to even the best seats and couches. With years of use and hundreds and hundreds of hours of being sat on, even the most comfortable of seats will eventually start to sag and get flat like a pancake. A flat cushion means that it no longer has a perky bounce to it and that standing up from that couch can be a tad bit more difficult.

Most couch cushions are filled with sofa foam wrapped in upholstering material. Usually, the cushion cases have zippers so that the foam inside can be cleaned and replaced. While people tend to remember to clean their cushions, they seem to forget about the replacement part of it. Typical couch cushions can have lifespans as short as one or two years; so it is important to make sure to get replacement cushions once you feel that your couch cushion is not at fluffy as it used to be.

Getting replacement cushions every once in a while is not just for looks or comfort; it is good for your physical well-being as well. Using sofa foam that has already gone flat is very bad for your back and can lead to problems like a hunched back, rounded shoulders and scoliosis. Severe posture problems can even lead to more health problems such as sleep apnea and other breathing conditions.

From now on, check your couch cushions from time to time to ensure that it still has a comfortable bounce.
