The fact that you save money and the environment makes you a hero in my book. And, BTW...I am on my third sofa in three years. You just saved my conscience.
Great tips and love how you like to save stuff from the landfills!
You just saved me $$$$ on my sofa. I took apart some old pillows and used them, so it cost me absolutely nothing. Many thanks
I knew I was saving those old feather bed pillows for a reason! I have a 30+ year-old A Rudin sofa that is still in great shape except for the sad sagging cushions. I didn't want to spend a lot (or anything at all, actually :)) and your solution is fantastic. Thank you thank you!!
You are a life saver. I am trying to reinvent myself at fifty seven years old and I have always had an interest in refurbishing furniture. No upholstery schools near me. I am so grateful I found you.
Its never too late! Thanks Patricia!
Absolutely saved me! After scraping my hands and arms, I saw your video about wrapping in plastic and sucking air from cushion. Fantastic idea! Thank you soo much!
Great solution! This idea will help me with my lumpy back cushion on my sofa chair! Thanks!
Do you have a video of how to make the envelopes? Would you recommend putting in a foam insert wrapped by feathers/down? I want a firmer feel and something that stays up instead of drooping.
I love your commitment to the environment. It's one of the single most important issues of our time. I'm so dismayed at what a second thought or even a non thought the effect of our actions and consumerism is for so many people.
Just saved my couch! It took 5 minutes to put in some old feather pillows ! Thank you!!!
Thankyou so much. My sofa is great now. I used old pillows the sofa still really good. Stuffed the sides with old cushion stuffing. It really works thankyou so much.
You totally made my morning. I get so many bad comments about my sofa that I want to make it up just right this time. Thanks.
Thank you El!
Great advice. We have 2 large down cushions on the back of our really well built old Thomasville love seat which we bought new. They are great but the cushions on the large deep seat were partially down filled and so hard to keep the filling in place so I had the seat cushions replaced. That was about 12 years ago and the replacements have held up beautifully. That sofa is almost 20 years old and we still really love the style. Its sort of an overstuffed piece. It is worth buying good quality sofas in solid colors because when they start to get a bit tired looking they are well worth having work done on them to extend their life. Thanks for sharing this. Way too much good furniture is going into landfills because of bad purchases or people not being aware of the work upholsterers do. Id rather buy an old sofa and have it upholstered. The frames are much better than whats made today.
I have not thought of LANDFILLS and when for the first time I would DO something that resembles YOUR back cushion I shall be very careful in not contaminating the environment ! Thanks for your valuable video as though the lesson of being an environment friendly upholsterer !
Great job. Thank-you for being environmentally conscious.
You are a genius! I bought a Bernhardt sofa w/o any education regarding the stuffing. As you mentioned the feathers come out! I still love the sofa and happy I can re-stuff it.
loove that you work with your clients budget!!!
Hello there. Do you have any video talking about properly covering sofa structure with foam. I mean, the layers, densiry, sizes, dacron cover, springs (?) etc. Im doing a couch from scratch and only have pics colected on Web as reference.
Thanks for sharing this, now I’m inspired to re do my couch pillows!
Could I buy the down proof envelopes you made that you stuffed inside the cushions? Would love to try this with my cushions because I can’t afford to have new inserts made.
No one has a how-to for replacing fill on a down/feather wrapped sofa cushion. Would you consider a how-to? I have a perfectly good custom Drexel sofa with a middle cushion that has just flattened horribly. Your videos are great! Thx
Thanks Jill! Well be doing a video on that next week!
Broadway Upholstery School Thanks.
Good idea. I already poke extra bits to fill in corners
I Love this fix! About how much down per envelope? 1/2 lb? Thank you!
Where could I get that down and feather pillow? I have a small project that would look great with that insert!
Hi thank you for showing this! Will you please show me how to correctly hand sew a cushion with that rolled trim? I just don’t want it to fray into a hole after I sew it. Can I put fray check on the seams then hand sew it? Thank you! SO Awesome!!
Good grief! Ureka! That's it! Blessed Day! Thank You!
Hello! How did you know what proportion/dimensions to make your down/feather insert? Thank you!
beautiful! Thank you for sharing this... my cushions are finally going to be as tall as the back of the couch! hehe
Can I ask what the benefit is to putting the down in the envelopes you made versus mixing it with the feathers?
Question time : I looking to redo my rear cushions on my couch, and I unzipped them and found a manufacturers tag that told me it had Fibre in it. I'm not looking to completely replace all the stuffing in it, just fill in the difference. Is there a specific type of poly fill I should be looking for? Also, how much should I need? I see you can buy the material by the pound, and I'm doing 2 cushions, roughly 36inx18in. I'm not sure what a 1 lb. bag fills vs. a 10 lb. bag. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dude that’s was awesome advice! Thank you
How do you get to the cushion when the zipper is in the back and it's attached to couch? We can unzip it but difficult to fill
You are a true artist!
Great Video
Thank you so much for sharing this video.
This is great info. Thanks, who knew it could be that easy? (With the right knowledge and experience.) You gained another subscriber with this one!
Thank you so much for this teaching!! I have been looking for a way to add firmness back to my couch pillows.
Your welcome!
Can you take a 1/2 bullnose back cushion and make it a square cushion?
Hi can you tell me where to get the supplies for the this? The down proof ticking and the material you used to enclose it? How much do you put in? Thanks!
Absolutely! Email me at upholsteryonbroadway.com and i can help you get set up with our supplier.
@@UpholsteryonBroadway Hi! I love this idea! What material did you use to enclose the filling? Thank you so much for making this video. :)
how many lbs of fiber does one need to make a pillow like this one? if you use duck downf or example?
Great clip I doing it to mine NOW💖🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Dang! I wanted to see you make a down and feather cushion. Perhaps in another video?
Does anyone know what material is used to keep polyester filling together in the back cushion? The one I have is falling apart and I want to sew a new one but can't figure out what material is used; it almost looks like it's interface.
It's called down proof ticking, you could also just use muslin
Hi Kevin...I absolutely want to thank you so much for this video 😁! Would you be able to let me know about how much 50/50 down& feather you used per envelope?
I would really appreciate it ...madly.
Broadway Upholstery School
Why thank you ...Kevin...that makes since to me☺️.
Chow 😉
Where did you buy this white cushion.
Pls I want to learn ... how do I apply for the school
I'm hesitant on old pillow stuffing so how do you assure yourself it's clean? For example, can I wash them or just spray them with alcohol ?
Edit:typo
many thanks ...from Egypt
This is incredibly helpful ~ Thank you for sharing :)
Where can I purchase all the materials you used to fix these cushions? You may have just helped me decide to keep our sofa! :-) Thank you!!
Great tips again.
How about for those cushions without a back
Do you mind giving me your opinion on an idea that I have? I see that they make pillow toppers for mattresses that are baffled. I have a three cushion cane back sofa that I'd like to convert into a single cushion with a little crown. I want to be able to flip it over and use both sides. I was thinking that one of these mattress toppers could make a great envelope for a foam interior to make a nice. single cushion. What do you think of that idea? I'm "baffled" on this one myself!
Thanks for the question Laurie, very good! We decided you question deserves a live response!! Check out this weeks live stream we answered your question in depth.
Great teaching! Thank you!
Amazing! Thank you
Nice!!
If we weren't being ripped off so badly on the quality of these products, there wouldn't be a problem. I'm having to have my La-Z-Boy looked at after only three years of use.
i totally agree!
My cushions are sewn to the couch😒
i assume just feather would be okay..
