Question
Hi,

I recently purchased an used mid century chair but the foam needs to be replaced, both for the back and seat cushions. Is it easy to replace them?  And if it is, then where can I buy new foam (cut to its needed size) in the San Francisco area?  

I am open to any suggestions.

Thank you.

Answer
Hi,  you can take the cushion covers to Cushion Works on 17th street near South Van Ness and they will make new fillers for you.

Or you can go to Foamorder.com south of Market, near the Costco store and they will cut the foam for you to install yourself.

I hope this helps.  Please let me know if I can be of further help.
