Refill & Raise

Cushion Refills & Sofa Lifting

Over time, even the best furniture begins to show signs of wear — sagging cushions, flattened seats, or low seating that’s harder to get up from. At Blanchetts, we offer a smart solution to bring your favourite chairs and sofas back to life.

Plump, Supportive Cushions – Like New Again

If your sofa or chair cushions have lost their shape or support, we can refill them with high-quality foam and fill to restore comfort and structure. Whether it’s seat or back cushions, we assess the best combination of materials — from firm supportive foam to feather or fibre blend wraps — to recreate that “like-new” feel, tailored to your comfort.

Raise the Height, Improve the Comfort

For many sofas and chairs with removable legs, we can replace them with custom-made taller legs. A small height adjustment can make a big difference — improving ease of use, posture, and overall comfort. These custom legs are crafted to suit the style of your furniture while giving it a subtle, practical lift.


Common Fixes We Offer:

  • Sagging seat cushions → Refilled with new foam, feather/fill and wrap

  • Flat back cushions → Boosted with feather, fibre, or foam

  • Low seating → Replaced with taller, stylish legs

  • General comfort upgrade → Support that looks and feels better


Whether you want to restore a treasured piece or simply improve daily comfort, we’re here to help. Visit us in Palmerston North or contact us to book a cushion and comfort consultation.
