Plumping your cushions regularly helps to maintain their shape, promotes airflow through the cushions and ensures they stay comfortable and full-looking for longer.
Steps to Plump Your Sofa
- Pound the Cushions
Gently pound the seat and back cushions 4–5 times. This helps re-form the interior and maintain their shape. - Adjust Cushion Fillings
If the seat or back cushions become misshapen, use your hands to redistribute the fillings, ensuring they reach the corners. - Smooth Out Creases
Use the Union Jack Method to smooth the fabric and maintain a sleek look.
The Union Jack Method
- Start at the centre of the cushion and smooth outward in a horizontal line, followed by a vertical line.
- Return to the centre and smooth diagonally out to each corner.
- Ensure the fabric is smoothed right to the edges and neatly tucked down the sides and back.
With regular care and plenty of plumping, your sofa will remain in excellent condition for years to come!
