The fact that you save money and the environment makes you a hero in my book. And, BTW...I am on my third sofa in three years. You just saved my conscience.

You just saved me $$$$ on my sofa. I took apart some old pillows and used them, so it cost me absolutely nothing. Many thanks

I knew I was saving those old feather bed pillows for a reason! I have a 30+ year-old A Rudin sofa that is still in great shape except for the sad sagging cushions. I didn't want to spend a lot (or anything at all, actually :)) and your solution is fantastic. Thank you thank you!!

You are a life saver. I am trying to reinvent myself at fifty seven years old and I have always had an interest in refurbishing furniture. No upholstery schools near me. I am so grateful I found you.

I love your commitment to the environment. It's one of the single most important issues of our time. I'm so dismayed at what a second thought or even a non thought the effect of our actions and consumerism is for so many people.

Just saved my couch! It took 5 minutes to put in some old feather pillows ! Thank you!!!

[@sndygskylr]

Absolutely saved me! After scraping my hands and arms, I saw your video about wrapping in plastic and sucking air from cushion. Fantastic idea! Thank you soo much!

[@lfuentes4098]

Do you have a video of how to make the envelopes? Would you recommend putting in a foam insert wrapped by feathers/down? I want a firmer feel and something that stays up instead of drooping.

You are a genius! I bought a Bernhardt sofa w/o any education regarding the stuffing. As you mentioned the feathers come out! I still love the sofa and happy I can re-stuff it.

Great advice. We have 2 large down cushions on the back of our really well built old Thomasville love seat which we bought new. They are great but the cushions on the large deep seat were partially down filled and so hard to keep the filling in place so I had the seat cushions replaced. That was about 12 years ago and the replacements have held up beautifully. That sofa is almost 20 years old and we still really love the style. Its sort of an overstuffed piece. It is worth buying good quality sofas in solid colors because when they start to get a bit tired looking they are well worth having work done on them to extend their life. Thanks for sharing this. Way too much good furniture is going into landfills because of bad purchases or people not being aware of the work upholsterers do. Id rather buy an old sofa and have it upholstered. The frames are much better than whats made today.

Great job. Thank-you for being environmentally conscious.

[@vicievee1095]

Thank you so much for this teaching!! I have been looking for a way to add firmness back to my couch pillows.

[@elsplace896]

You totally made my morning. I get so many bad comments about my sofa that I want to make it up just right this time. Thanks.

[@jimmys.8062]

This is great info. Thanks, who knew it could be that easy? (With the right knowledge and experience.) You gained another subscriber with this one!

[@SP-mi7ph]

Thankyou so much. My sofa is great now. I used old pillows the sofa still really good. Stuffed the sides with old cushion stuffing. It really works thankyou so much.

[@LaurelHolliday]

beautiful! Thank you for sharing this... my cushions are finally going to be as tall as the back of the couch! hehe

[@javiermancheno8531]

I have not thought of LANDFILLS and when for the first time I would DO something that resembles YOUR back cushion I shall be very careful in not contaminating the environment ! Thanks for your valuable video as though the lesson of being an environment friendly upholsterer !
