Smooth out the top and bottom with your hands and rezip.
Repeat these steps with the back cushions.
Change the Cushion Covers
Instead of covering the whole couch, consider covering just the cushions.
Theres a slew of online retailers who offer stretch-fit and custom-fit covers for individual cushions.
you’ve got the option to also consider changing up its look with a different wood stain color.
Change the Legs
you might also swap the legs instead of just refinishing them.
Chances are the couch, assuming its not an antique or heirloom, has screw-in legs.
Many of these have a 5/16-inch screw, making them easily replaceable.
Fortunately, this is a budget-friendly move and several custom cushion services are available online.
Some of these online companies also offer alternative poly and down fill.
Or, there might be a sunken spot you cant fluff up no matter what you try.
These are both materials you’re free to find in craft stores and online retailers.
Be sure you have enough buttons for both the front and back sides of the cushions.
Be sure to plan out and evenly space the button layout prior to beginning.
Button-tufted cushions or nail head trim can also add a touch of class.
Consider changing or refinishing the feet/legs, re-stuffing or fluffing the cushions, and adding a slipcover.
