Hello,

I have a nine piece modular couch I have set up in a 3x3 configuration (basically a large square). I find when I’ve been lying on it for a little while, my hips or tailbone get a bit sore due to the wooden frames underneath each section. Now, this could be interpreted as a sign from God to spend less time lying on the couch- and it very well may be- but I mean after just ten minutes or so of idle lazing. Add to that, I have kids who often spill crumbs, Legos, socks, etc that end up in the gaps between the sections. 

I’ve been thinking of ways to rectify this situation. Until recently, the only practical thing I could think of is to fill the gaps between cushions with something soft that retains its shape. It had crossed my mind to cut some pool noodles in half lengthways, then into three foot sections, and place them in the gaps. It also crossed my mind that this would both look really shitty and feel really shitty. 

Later it occurred to me I could fashion some kind of half-assed mattress topper that would fit the dimensions of the couch. Again, it would likely look really shitty. While it wouldn’t feel really shitty, I like the existing fabric on the cushions. 

Anybody have an idea they wouldn’t mind throwing in the ring? 

Thanks for your time,
