How to Replace the Cushions on a Leather Sofa in Portland, Oregon

Portland, Oregon receives roughly 37.07 inches of rainfall per year. All of this rain means comfortable leather sofas get a lot of use in Portland homes. Over time, genuine leather sofas develop surface blemishes, including stretch marks and age wrinkles. While these blemishes may not be cause for concern, heavily used sofas may also tear or stain. Fortunately, there are some options for Portland homeowners looking to replace their old sofa cushions.

      Identify the manufacturer and model number of your sofa. This information is most likely on the original sales receipt. If you do not have the original sales receipt, you may be able to find the information on the sofa. For aesthetic purposes, this information is generally hidden, so check the underside or back of the sofa.
