How to fix padded chair seat?

I have a padded computer chair which the seat part has now been flattened (due to much use) and is no longer comfortable. Doe anybody know any way to fix this at home? or can recommend any places where i could get it repaired? The chair was about $200 so anything more expensive to repair it would be a waste. Thanks :)

Answer:

You may be able to reupholster it yourself depending on the chair and whether you can take it apart. The seat was put together in pieces so there should be some way to take it apart. Unless you are handy this might be a challenge and depending on how your chair is constructed this could end up being a problem. Reupholstering might be half your purchase price but I'd check with a local upholsterer. There are seat cushions that you can purchasing in stores like Target, if you go to the section where they have tablecloths/napkins/linens. They are premade and designed to work on wood chairs and are about 1-2 thick. You could also go to the outdoor furniture section and look for seat cushions - those would be a lot thicker, designed for outdoor furniture. A less refined option would be getting some foam from a fabric store and cut it to size to fit the chair, then cover it with fabric.
