Filler.
Remember that self-producing of soft furniture, the materials is not worth saving, because otherwise the furniture will look cheap. Note that you save considerably, making furniture with their hands, and don't skimp on the purchase of beautiful fabrics and quality of the filler. Usually as a filler for upholstered furniture acts as foam rubber or polyurethane. In addition, for each piece of furniture they must be of a certain thickness:
- seat – 45-48 kg/m3;
- backs – 42 kg/m3;
- for mattresses – 30-35 kg/m3;
- for the arms – 28 kg/m3.

Also, make sure that unstable and damage with your chosen fabric will be removed the most easily. And finally, as the fabric you're nailing, make sure it appears with a hole and "arrows" as a result.
