How to Fix Sagging Back Cushions on My Sectional

Attached back cushions have the comfort of pillows, with the benefit of staying in place. Sectionals with attached back cushions often have a traditional look with cleaner lines than loose back cushions. However, attached back cushions may have issues with sagging over time, depending on use. There are steps to take to revive sagging back cushions, but you will likely have to occasionally work with them; often, they have zippers to allow access to the interior of the cushion, making this task much easier.
