When your Lovesac arrives at your door, the package will contain a cover and 1 to 4 compressed bags of Durafoam (depending on what model you ordered). The easiest way to put it together is to unwrap your cover and spread it out on the floor. Take the bags of Durafoam and spread them evenly on the cover surface. Then take a short blade knife and diagonally cut the bags open.
From there you zip up the cover and literally toss your sac around the room. It will probably take 15 to 20 minutes worth of tossing it around for the Durafoam to expand. Once it begins to expand you can sit on it. For best results, gently “plop” in your sac, get up, flip it over, and do it again several times. The more you break up the Durafoam the fluffier your Lovesac will be.
Keep in mind that it does take a couple days for the Durafoam to fully expand. During this time you should be constantly fluffing your sac so that it gets a soft and even consistency.
As times goes on you will want to repeat this process every week or two. Not only does this prevent “dead spots” from building, but it also keeps your Lovesac looking and feeling new. One of the amazing features of Durafoam is its ability to bounce back to its original size. It just takes a little work on your part to promote the process.
Here is a quick video that shows how to unpack and assemble your new Lovesac. This tutorial was made with the SuperSac model:

That’s great! You showed us how to cut plastic off the foam. WOW! What you are not showing is what the people really need to see, and that is how difficult it is to actually tear that foam apart & what happens after you zip the bag shut. I could not believe the level of difficulty tearing the balls of compressed foam apart in little pieces. My husband and I worked for hours our fingers were distroyed and the foam remained in larger chunks than it should have. The expansion was minimal, the bag was not nearly full enough. Overall considering the PRICE, we were very dissapointed and could not recommend this to anyone! Maria

Hey dude the video clippings are really amazing and also very nice explanation has been given. Thanks for the information and just keep in mind that it does take a couple days for the Durafoam to fully expand.

Soo, no one has posted in here for a month are so. And I have to say that I don’t know if love sac changed the way they package their sacs or what because I bought one yesterday and the foam was already in the sac, I just had to break it up. EXTREME WORKOUT to break up that foam. I spent an hour and a half and I still haven’t got the large chunks broken up, let alone the smaller 5 in diameter ones…

SD – they are sending the durafoam in smaller pieces now to improve the fluffing process.
