We have a 10 year old sofa that is structurally fine (frame, springs etc), but all the cushions have lost their shape, and even with regular plumping up look very sad.
Is it possible to get these refilled, and if so is there a national or high street service that is recommended? Or is it the sort of job that I should seek out an independent soft furnishings specialist for?
Lastly, what would be the approx cost for a 3 seater sofa (4 big cushions)?
I'm a complete beginner in this area...
No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    A decent upholsterer will do this. Normally independents so check your local paper etc or ask around.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Around 6 years ago my friend paid around £200 to have 4 large seat cushions redone (included collection & delivery). That was for foam with a soft layer of wadding wrapped around - much better quality than the originals. It was money well spent because they are still in great condition and now it is the covers that need replacing!

    any hobby shop will sell various stuffings. also try dunelms.
    buy cheap cushions off the market and nick the stuffing out of em?

    find your local foam stockists too.
