Just Sit on IT!

......continuing with the challenge, this is day 25 of 31....for all 31, go here

While preparing for tomorrow's upholstery tutorial, I realized that I did not tell you enough about foam.

How much cush for you tush?

It is very scientific....not really, you just SIT ON IT! Let me show you. Here is the chair with just springs and burlap



Starting with 1" High Density foam


Too hard


Next up, 2"

Better, still a bit hard for my derriere


The Papa Bear, 3"

Yes!

The foam will have a layer of dacron, so I'll test it that way....

It is a plush seat, my personal preference.

Same method for the back

This is the winning combo; a 3" High Density foam for the seat, with a 2" High Density foam for the back.....your bum may have a different preference.

Do you prefer a plush chair, or a firm chair?

I have so many questions. I'll have to write you a long email. But have you or do you ever address how to get to big plump cushion on a couch. Is it thick foam with something in the middle? If it is just foam, how do you remove the squared off look, I don't want a cushion that looks like a box.

You are always so funny and informative! I am working up the nerve to rip the fabric off of 2 harvest gold side chairs I got at a yard sale. They are cane backed and so sturdy but U.G.L.Y. in that 70s gold. Wish you lived closer!

Cindi, send a photo, I will try to give you some suggestions. Danylle, I wish I lived closer too! Although, something tells me we would get into trouble together!
