How to Make My Couch More Comfy

Change the stuffing. Whether your couch is too firm or sagging, replacing the filling can make your couch a comfy spot to sit. Visit an upholstery store to test fillings of different softness. You will be able to buy the filling and replace it yourself or arrange for store staff to do the job for you. If your couch cushions have zippers, removal is straightforward.

Add pillows. A few extra pillows can help turn your couch into a place to curl up with a book, or to watch a movie during a relaxed evening. Small pillows give a bit of extra softness while large pillows make the couch comfy enough for spontaneous napping. Consider buying different pillows and changing them according to the occasion. Having different colors on hand adds to the changeability of room decor.

Place a throw over the back of the couch. A soft blanket can make the outer surface of the couch more comfy, in particular if the couch is covered in a rough fabric. Leather couches which tend to be cold can also benefit from the warmth from a cashmere throw. A blanket on the couch also comes in handy for spontaneous curling up in front of the television.

Flip the mattress if your couch doubles as a sofa bed. To keep a sofa bed in top shape, flip it every six months to ensure even wear. Add a mattress cover filled with down before guests arrive and use high-quality sheets and a comforter when setting up the bed. The extra softness from the feel of the fabric and mattress barrier will help make your sofa bed a restful place for your guests.
