I rarely add commentary to videos. All I can say is fantastic job. Unlike others, you didn’t feel the need to ramble and when you spoke it was clear and concise.

God bless you! Wasted 6 hours of my life trying to squeeze the foam into the zipper casing. This tip was sent from God.

That is incredible, i have never seen anyone suck out the air with a vacuum for putting a cover on a cushion. Normally we struggle to get the cover on, a cm at a time on each side. thanks for show this.

@williamchagnon7533 10 жыл бұрын

Perfect demonstration Buck! The nugget I got from this is to use a smaller hose end and put the nozzle between the Dacron and the foam. Makes perfect sense. Now I can avoid all the restarts from sucking the plastic in to the nozzle.

And that is what my guy said as well. Our couches are about 11 years old, but we want to retire them to the basement this summer- after we finish it. We are military so we have moved a ton over the years...but have kept good care of our couches. I'm so greatful that you said the same things my guy said because now I feel like we are making the right decision to replace the cushions. The bones of our couch are good and the fabric (while not top of the line) is still in great condition. Thanks for being such a great resource for me and my thrifty family!

Very inspiring video. My favorite part was when he made sure that the teeth of the zipper didn’t bite the pillow. “Keep the background out of the teeth“, I really live by those words every day.

Amazon has many sellers of high density foam. You can also google for replacement cushion foam. The foam sold by JoAnn and Michael's is not very high density, even though it may be advertised as such.

Great demo. I wondered how the silk wrap worked. Can it be left in place for outside cushions, perhaps? I’m looking to wrap the current cushion material for my patio chairs to replace the worn out cushions. I’ve got sunbrella fabric already. The cushion material is a bit soft. Could I glue a thin, firmer foam to the existing foam to give it a bit more oomph? The cushions are currently 3-1/4” thick. Better quality seat cushions can be 5-6” thick for a seat? Are there any books on upholstery that you’d recommend?
