I'm surprised it isn't worse at two years. This is the peril of large cushions, a frame a bit sub par. What do I mean? Put a hand under the front cushions, front edge of the sofa. Lean down firmly. That front edge? It doesn't budge.......

On a quality sofa? That front edge, gives, and literally bounces back up when you release the weight of your hand and body. When it is hard as a rock as I bet yours is? That is your cushion destruction. The flattening/pancaking...... the ruination of foam and all contents inside the covers.

What to do?

Take the cushions to an upholsterer. Have them wrapped in poly. Have the foam changed perhaps, and THEN re wrapped in poly.

But know this......in another year or two? You will be doing it again. Because the problem is a less than quality frame.

Would I try at home stuffing, shrinking anything? No. Take the cushions to an upholster, where they have the wrap, the steam, and all manner of experience putting covers back on a cushion. It's a lot more work than you think. Most shops have one person doing JUST that part of a job.

Thanks! Do you have any idea how much (approx) taking them to an upholsterer will cost?

Depends location...... urban, less urban etc. Call a few in your area, go in person with pictures: ) first. But if you want the look of when it was new? That's how you do it. Share what I told you with any regarding the frame? They will agree: )

Also, amazing observations from my few pics! I got a cheap couch bc i have little kids and will prob replace it regardless in a few years (and want something that looks nice enough in the meantime)

Thanks Jan!

thanks?

Don't do this. Please? Not every thing is DIY After a fail? You will want the money you wasted on the materials and you will never get the time back : ) Sorry...........don't

I purchased new foam inserts for older down stuffed cushions for about $100 each from a local shop. it is much firmer than the down but fine for a rental apt.

i just purchased a replacement cushion from Rowe for $170.

Well. Be prepared, if you do as above. Do NOT wash the covers. Just do not. Use a spot cleaner, or get them cleaned by a reputable source after this.......

This is a speed video time short version. and save some poly wrap for the corners: ) This what happens in a shop. Close enough.

And if you decide to replace the couch with a different one? Consider a strategy I like for young families. Buy outdoor furniture. When the kids spill drinks and the cat or dog pukes on it, take it outside and hose it down. When the kids get older and there aren't any more pets, get a replacement high-quality piece and now you also have new furniture for your patio or screened in porch. Outdoor furniture can look really nice! Not like what I remember as a kid.
