The Genius Cushion Cover Trick Everyone’s Talking About

Have you ever found yourself locked in a full-blown wrestling match with a sofa cushion, trying to get it back into its cover? The sweating, the tugging, the frustration, it’s borderline gym workout territory.

If this sounds all too familiar, we’ve got news for you.

There’s a life-changing (yes, life-changing!) hack that can make this dreaded chore almost effortless. And the best part?

All you’ll need is a large clear bag or even a trusty bin liner nd a vacuum!

This simple yet genius trick has taken the internet by storm, making cushion-refitting struggles a thing of the past.

Curious? Here’s the lowdown on how you can do it and why everyone’s raving about it.

What You’ll Need

The list of tools for this miracle method is short and sweet:

• A large clear plastic bag or bin liner (clear bags available on our website).
• A vacuum with moderate to strong suck - doesn't have to be a Henry but he's a trusted member of the We Cut Foam team.
• The cushion and cover, of course.

That’s it. No fancy gadgets. No wrestling team backup. Just a bag and a new way of thinking.

How to Perform the Cushion Cover Hack

Here’s how this works, step by step:

1. Suit Up Your Cushion

 Slide the clear plastic bag or bin liner over the cushion like it’s wearing a protective superhero cape. This bag is the star of the show, creating a smooth surface that allows the cushion to slide effortlessly.

2. The Extract Air and Watch the Magic

Introduce the vacuum hose to the bag, ensuring the bag is tight around the hose/nozzle. Note Hedley's tip in the video to wrap the bag around the nozzle, thus ensuring an air-tight seal. Remove as much air as possible from both the bag and the cushion. Insert the cushion into its cover. Thanks to the plastic outer layer, there’s no more tugging and grunting; it just glides right in.

3. Pull and Reveal

Once the cushion is in place, pull the plastic bag out carefully. Voila! Your cushion is now perfectly encapsulated in its cover.

That’s it. A task that used to leave you out of breath now takes just seconds, and it’s all thanks to this ultra-simple hack.
