Re: Bradington-Young Velcro Ripping Sofa Back
Yes, you need to get new fabric sewn in the back panels, don't wait too long to do this or the sofa will come apart in the back. Unfortunately this is not a DIY project, you will need to take this to an upholsterer and they will detach the cover from the sofa and sew in new panels on the backside. Sounds expensive, but that vent fabric is not pricey and its just a labor charge. The hardest part is removing the nail trim (and those all have to be replaced). If you don't want to put any money into the sofa, then get some Gorilla Duct Tape* and seal that area up where torn until you replace the sofa.
Do you have a dog or cat that sleeps on top of the back cushion? I see it is depressed. If so, that's part of the issue, they are weighting the top of the back cushion and exerting pressure on the velcro causing the panel to rip. Don't let pets sleep atop the back cushion. If not, there appears to be some kind of downward pressure on that back cushion and that is stressing the vent fabric.
You can also have the Velcro removed so it no longer sticks, or simply put s piece of "grabby" fabric cut to size over the Velcro, or a length of the Gorilla Duct Tape*.
Your fiberfill back cushion full needs to be fully removed from the casing, fluffed up vigorously , and re-installed.
* Gorilla Duct Tape WILL remove the pigmentation color of your leather when removed, please be aware of that.
