Top work, didn't realise it could be done tbh!  My RH upright bolster doesn't hug as much as the left, so I bet that needs some of the same.

my right bolster needs repairing but the foam is ok for the time being

it isn't cheap really but well worth it :afro:

book aside a couple of hours in front of the TV - thats how i did mine  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
