Firm is not a metric of conversation as no one knows what this means to you.

You can take your couch to an upholstery shop and have it refoamed and covered for under your budget.

Interesting! I did not know we can refoam a couch as well, thanks for the info. I do not have a couch right now but will remember that for the next time!

IMHO this is not great advice. IKEA frames are not hardwood and not high quality. Also, reupholster is expensive - in my area, the labor alone is at least $1k and upholstery fabric is at least $30 a yard and up, 15 yards needed for a sofa. Most upholsterers can give you a general labor and yardage quote based on pictures, but anyone decent will strongly discourage you from reupholstering ikea unless it’s a DIY job.
