New Cushion Inserts
You are welcome to visit our shop in San Francisco’s Mission District. While at our shop we can discuss your goals for your new cushions, should they be firmer, softer, flatter, fuller? You will be able to test our the different materials including the range of firmnesses of foam. We are happy to measure your covers and provide you with price quotes. If you decide to place an order with us, when your order is ready we will swap the old cushions for the new in your covers and dispose of the old inserts. We are always happy to help over the phone, 415-552-6220, or email: cw@cushionworks.net. Please be sure your cover has a zipper or opening that allows you to get the old cushion out and the new cushion in. If the opening is much less then the width of the cushion we don’t advise ordering the firmest foam. It can be difficult to put in!
Uncomfortable? Sofa looking sad and tired?
Don’t give up on your sofa just yet!
You don’t have to get rid of your sofa or chair if it is uncomfortable. We can make new cushion inserts to fit your covers. New inserts can firm up or soften your cushions. They can also return saggy, tired looking cushions to their fullest glory.
Foam Firmnesses
Foam firmness is measured on a resistance scale called ILD (Indent Load Deflection). The number range is between 10 to 70. The lower the number the softer the foam, the higher the firmer. Most cushion replacements are for cushions that have gotten to an ILD of 30 and lower. For most adults this lack of resistance allows the client to sit through the cushion and bottom out. We are usually being asked to make new inserts using ILD’s of 40 or 50. Although there is a 70 available, please note that this foam is as close to “hard as a rock” that polyurethane foam gets.
