How to Replace Couch Cushions With Memory Foam

By Home & Garden Last updated Tuesday, April/23/2024

1). Measure the length, width and depth of your couch cushions, and note them on paper. Visit a bedding store, and purchase precut memory foam that matches your cushion's dimensions.
2). Open the couch cushions. Your cushion should be secured by either a zipper or stitching. If your cushions are stitched, release the threading with a seam ripper.
3). Remove the old foam or stuffing. You can throw it away or save the foam for future craft projects.
4). Insert the memory foam into the cushion casing. Zip up the cushion if it has a zipper. If you released the threading with a seam ripper, make a 1/2-inch fold of the upholstery material and secure it with pins spaced 2 inches apart. Stitch the edge with a thread and needle to fully secure the new memory foam insert. Place the cushions on the couch.
