How do I keep my sofa cushions in shape?

A few small habits can help your sofa stay comfortable and keep its shape. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Give loose cushions a daily tidy-up. Plump cushions that are designed to be plumped, smooth out the covers with your hands and settle them back into position. Fixed cushions and firm foam seats need different care, so follow the instructions for your model.

  • Switch up your favourite seat. Sitting in different spots helps the cushions soften and wear more evenly.

  • Swap or turn cushions where possible. If your sofa has interchangeable cushions, swap their positions regularly. Only flip them over if they’re designed to be used on both sides.

  • Sit fully on the seat. Regularly perching on the front edge puts extra pressure on the same area of the cushion.
