When it comes to sitting down, there probably doesn’t seem like there’s much to it. For the most, it is a leisurely activity, after all. As far as modern amenities go, our couches, sofas and loveseats may not be the most advanced science in our homes, but that doesn’t mean they’re any less important.

Seat foam, for example, is the material that takes our weight when we sit down on much of our favorite furniture. Sofa seat cushions are built to take our weight and give enough push back that we don’t immediately sink and hit the furniture’s frame.

There is a very specific science that goes into this ability. However, this science does not make the foam impervious to old age. After enough exposure to sitting, your foam will begin losing its touch and you will need to consider replacing it.

When looking to replace your seat foam, it’s best to look for foam that is pre-cut in the shape you need it. The other alternative is to buy stuffing which will necessitate a boring, laborious process no one needs. Also, be sure you’re purchasing the right kind of foam or you’ll immediately notice that your seat now has too much, or too little, give.

While it’s easy to take for granted, the right kind of foam makes all the difference. Be sure to keep an eye on yours and, when necessary, to replace it properly . ______________________________________________________________________
