How to Replace Sofa & Loveseat Cushions

The natural wear and tear on furniture makes some people wish for new furniture. But just because the seat cushions are a little too soft for your liking doesn't mean you need to buy new furniture. You can replace the cushions for under $50. The materials are readily available at your local sewing store or furniture shop, and you have the freedom to select how stiff or soft you want the cushions.
