Renovation process

Checklist:

2m3 polyurethane sponge pad (thickness: 10cm, 5cm, 3cm, 1cm)

2 cans of spray glue

9 meters of polyester cloth

Packaging Materials

12 meters of Velcro and loop straps

2 meters of burlap

12 meters of tape

Sutures

step

The first step is to remove the old sofa cover and worn-out cushions to expose the original frame. Fortunately, the frame is basically intact, which saves time and money.

Before nailing the foam, straps were reinstalled on the back and bottom of the sofa, and the straps were made of burlap.

Note: The straps are nailed on in an interlaced manner.

Then we nailed all the foam pads to the frame.

Sofa arms (3cm and 1cm thick sponges are stacked)

Sofa back (5cm and 1cm thick sponges are stacked)

Sofa cushion (10cm thick sponge used)

The bottom part under the sofa cushion (using 5cm and 2cm thick sponge)

In order to make the sponge cushions better integrated and more comfortable, we evenly spray glue on each piece of the sofa.

Every family with pets understands how important it is to have a removable and washable sofa. We decided to design a removable and washable sofa cover. So we sewed a layer of packaging material on each part.

After measuring the size, we started cutting. We chose blue polyester fabric. The size should not be too wide, but a little tight. Because the fabric is elastic.
