What would the living room be without a couch worthy of the name? Whether you use it mainly to relax with your family, watch movies or have your friends having an aperitif, it must be comfortable and suitable for all times of the day. But if your sofa is not entirely to your taste on the comfort side, because it is too new or too old, there are also solutions. Simple tips will make your sofa more comfortable!
How to improve the seat of a sofa?
A few simple tips always make it possible to create a sofa more conducive to relaxation. Among the most accessible solutions, you can multiply the cushions:
You can also use plaids and other blankets to make your seat thicker or to bring more softness in the case of an uncomfortable coating.
How do you make a couch softer?
Your sofa has nice design lines but is it far too hard to be comfortable? In the case of a new sofa, the cushions of the seat but also the covering have not yet had time to relax and this can create a feeling too firm. You can then unhook the cushions from the structure and gently deform them with your hands to make the foam work. Proceed the same way for the fabric or microfibre that surrounds the seat. For leather sofas, feel free to apply a nourishing cream that will tend to soften the leather.
If your sofa is older but still too firm for you, consider the sofa cover. This quilt will be on your couch what the top mattress is in bed. It will bring a softer and enveloping comfort while giving style to the whole.
How do I strengthen a couch?
Your couch is too soft and you tend to sink when you settle on it? You can try to change the cover to a model that will have a better fit and better contain the cushions. In the case of fabrics that relax easily, good washing may be sufficient.
Another cost-effective option is to cut a plywood and place it under the cushions of the seat to reinforce the structure and prevent the cushions from sinking.
Some tapestries may also propose to redecorate your sofa or add straps to it for a better hold.
How do you give comfort to a sinking couch?
Even when you get off the couch, is there a hole in the place where you sit? Again, placing a wooden board under the cushion will strengthen the structure and prevent draught. You can also consider changing the springs if your sofa is equipped with one.
In order for the cushion to return to its original form, you can try to turn the seat and backrest over, as will be the case with a mattress. As a last resort, you can also replace the upholstery or foam of the cushions. Choose high-density polyurethane foam that will last over time.
