How to use a 20 x 20 pillow for chair reupholstery…..

By

Yep, I am a cheater…
Don’t tell my husband 😉
Though he already knows.
I have found you can “cheat” and reupholster a chair with a 20 x20 in pillow square just as easily as expensive foam cushioning.
This is a great chair reupholstery life hack.
Upholstery life hack, use a 20 x 20 pillow as cushioning to redo a chair. Way cheaper than foam!
 Foam cushioning can be very expensive,especially without a coupon. It can range between $11 and $24 a yard. It can get really pricey when you have a few seats.
 That’s why I like to “cheat” and use  a square pillow insert. The seat ends up super soft and I’ve bought inserts for as low as $4 each or even used pillows I’ve already had on hand.
Awesome furniture life hack. An inexpensive pillow instead of pricey foam!
 Just center your pillow between your seat and your fabric.
 It’s okay if you are hanging  a little over the edge. It will all even out. This is the important part; kneel on your chair seat back and as you pull your fabric to staple it,tucking the edges of the pillow in as you go around. I like to reupholster with a wrap and staple technique.
 You end up with a soft, comfortable, inexpensive chair seat!
I am reupholstering some of my chairs as a little dining area makeover. Once The Oak House is done, It will be nice to get on with projects at my own house!!
