Can I buy a replacement or extra backrest for my modular floor sofa?

Also asked as:Just the 2 back corner pieces?Can I buy two extra L-shaped cushions?

Dogs, contractors and moving day have each put a backrest out of service. The sofa doesn't have to go with it, my friend.

Plain charcoal seats take the daily wear; the hexagon jacquard backrest carries the pattern at eye level.

The quick answer

Yes: straight and L-shaped backrests for a modular floor sofa are sold one at a time, with filling, matched to your original color through a private purchase link. An L-shaped piece can be swapped for a straight (I-shaped) one at the same price, and extra metal bars can join the order. The two arm pieces are corner backrests, sold only as a pair.

Have Harlan’s workshop cut this for you

Old upholsterers will tell you the real cutting happens in the conversation, long before the shears come out. Tell the workshop what you sit on, and they will talk it through with you. — Harlan

A real project

Two navy corners after the contractors left

A buyer in the US wrote after a contractor damaged the two L-shaped backrests on their floor sofa. The workshop made a dedicated purchase link for two new L-shaped backrests in navy, so only the damaged pieces had to be replaced.

A torn backrest is not a lost sofa

A modular sofa is a family of parts, and families lose a member now and then. When one piece gives out, you replace that one piece. Buy the cushion once, cry once, and when the dog has other plans, buy the one backrest again.

Give the color from your first order so the new piece sits with its kin. For the parts underneath, see floor sofa support bars; to reshape the set, read modular floor sofa layouts. All the pieces live under modular floor sofas and backrest cushions.

Which piece took the beating in your house?

A modular floor sofa backrest the dog ripped can be replaced alone, filled and in the original color: every piece is sold separately.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Can I buy extra straight or L-shaped backrests separately?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes, every piece is sold separately, one backrest or a pair. When a contractor damaged a buyer's originals, the workshop made a dedicated link for two L-shaped backrests in navy.

  2. A common question

    Can I buy a straight or corner backrest on its own, with extra bars?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Straight and corner backrests are sold separately through their own listings, in colors such as dark brown, and extra metal bars can be added to the same order.

  3. A common question

    Do you sell extra backrest pillows or the armrests separately?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Straight and L-shaped corner backrests are sold singly, and the armrests as a pair. An L-shaped pillow can be swapped for a straight (I-shaped) one at the same price.

  4. A common question

    My dog ripped one backrest. Can I buy just that piece?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Individual backrests are sold with filling, straight or L-shaped, in any color such as brick or off-white, through a private purchase link. A single armrest isn't sold.

  5. A common question

    Can I buy the arm pieces and build the rest myself?

    The workshop's answer

    The two arm pieces, which are really corner backrests, are sold together, and extra support pieces can be sent. How the arms are made isn't shared for DIY builds.

Questions buyers ask next

What pieces make up the single teddy floor sofa?

The single modular teddy sofa measures 79 x 39 x 14 in (200 x 100 x 35 cm): two 6 3/4 in (17 cm) seat cushions, two L-shaped backrests of 39 x 39 x 15 in (100 x 100 x 39 cm) and four metal bars.

Can I add a matching back cushion to a bench cushion I already own?

Yes. Backrests are made to your size in the same fabric as the seat, either firm foam like the seat or a soft filled pillow. Add one later by quoting the fabric code from your original order.

Should a back cushion be foam or soft like a pillow?

Either works. Foam backs hold their shape, suit outdoor use and stay put when wedge-shaped; pillow backs are softer and more relaxed. A firm foam seat can be paired with a softer pillow back.
