Title: Dacron cushion inserts
Post by: 65Buick on February 24, 2020, 02:49:50 pm
I have these back cushions for a sofa. I don't know how they did it, but it's not normal polyfil. I think the fiber is a little bigger. Anyway, they retain their shape very well and are comfortable. I just want to make sure that if they're replaced, it's the same thing. Or, is this not possible and I'm better off getting some soft foam?

Unless the customer says different I would reuse them.

In my furniture work, I too, have noticed some changes in factory cushion fillers.  There are two or maybe
three layers,  Less filled with foam, as the past.  It does look that it is cost saving and not shortening
to cushion life. 

Foam is getting more expensive.

Consumers are wanting to keep cost down and if it looks suitable to "reuse", why not?
