How Do You Upholster Chair Seat Foam?
Some chairs need a foam seat cushion to be comfortable. Sitting on a hard wooden chair for any length of time can be painful. Since foam seat cushions can get a lot of use, they need replacing once in a while. Replacing the foam seat cushion saves you a lot of money since you only have to buy new foam and fabric instead of a whole new chair. Keep the old cushion for measuring and examining purposes. Use the measuring tape to measure the length and the width of the old foam cushion. Add 1 inch to each measurement for seam allowances. Remember to double this measurement to figure out how much fabric you need to buy. Decide how thich you want your foam cushion since foam comes in several different thicknesses. Make sure to buy enough fabric to cover the side of the cushion as well. Purchase the foam from a fabric store. Make your job easier by taking your measurements to the store and having the employee cut the foam to your specifications. Cut two pieces of the fabric to the measurements
