How to Fluff Couch Cushions
One task around the house that is often neglected, but is painfully noticeable when it isn't done, is the fluffing of couch cushions. While some couch cushions are simply blocks of foam that can only compress, others are stuffed with feathers or down to give a pillow-like feel. Unfortunately, as the feathers are compressed, they often settle and rearrange, quickly clumping together and exposing harder portions of your couch's framework.
Instructions
1. Remove all detachable cushions from your couch, and set them aside. Often side cushions as well as back cushions are attached to the framework of a couch, so just remove what you can.
2. Using your hand or a large wooden spoon, pat or beat repeatedly on the attached cushions. Work from the bottom of each cushion and move upward. Repeat this bottom-to-top method until you are satisfied, using more force when necessary to achieve the fluff you want.
3. Grab one of the removed cushions in one hand, and hold it out, away from your body. With your other hand, hit the cushion a few times repeatedly, using the spoon or your bare hand.
4. Rotate the cushion in your hand, and continue to fluff it. Keep turning your cushion and beating it until you've turned it completely around and held all four sides.
5. Replace the cushions on your couch as you finish fluffing them until you are done and all the cushions are back in place.
