We are planning to fully replace the cushions. Any suggestions on best material for the covers as well as the foam? Would like to upgrade the foam as we will be sleeping in there.....Thanks.

Did the same thing on mine. I went to vinyl as it's easy to keep clean, as opposed to a cloth. I increased the thickness of the foam to 4" and went with a medium density foam. My hips don't "bottom out" on the foam - but it's not too firm, either.

Sorry about all the clutter. I re-covered my existing foam with a SailRite Covington Riad Denim 58" Fabric. Also did backrests. This fabric has a soft hand, durable and easy to sew. It's not cold like vinyl. I used a SailRite machine which is medium duty - you could likely use a decent home machine - order a yard to test. And if you want to up the cushion thickness - have at it!

Covington Riad Denim 58" Fabric
A beautiful, textured weave, Covington Riad Denim features an irregular basketweave design. With a soft hand and stable backing, this is a great choice for upholstery projects and decorative accents.
