Has anyone ever replaced their (crap) sofa cushions with made to measure new foam ones?

We have 2 sofas that aren't particularly old and weren't particularly cheap but the seat cushions are lumpy and uncomfortable to sit on. I think the filling is currently loose 'stuffing' rather than a solid foam IYSWIM.

We can't really justify/afford buying 2 new sofas at the moment but have worked out that we could replace all the seat cushions with a high density foam recommended for the job , cut to the exact size and shape for around £120. (sofas have loose covers so easy to pop new cushion pads in)

Has anyone else ever done this and was it worth it? Or are we better off putting that money towards new sofas?

We've just had our sofa cushions completely refilled, it's like a new sofa! Just found them locally but they can send anywhere. Cheaper than buying a new sofa! www.dunrichsoftfurnishings.co.uk/replacement-sofa-cushions/

Seems I'm not the only one to have this problem. I found here was the best place for new cushion foam. Nice and simple ordering process and delivered very quick. Hope that helps somebody out.

Yes I did this with our 25 year old leather sofa which still looks lovely with a local company they changed the foam and put the foam into a netting .They only did some as they said not all needed to be changed.They did everything onsite.
Cost less than 200.
Well worth it
