Default How to remove cabin lounge cushions?

I have the cabin just about completely apart except for the cushions that make up the couches or lounges. I looked in the seams of the cushions to see if there was a hidden fastener, but no luck. Was about to pry them off thinking they were just glued. Anyone have experience with this?

Look for Phillips head screws hidden in the pleat between the center insert and the outer part of the cushion. There are only a few and hard to find.

Good luck!

The bottoms have just a couple screws each deep within the pleat. Possible that the screw head has sunk below the material, so look for a hole in the material while spreading the pleat open.

Whats in there can you post a picture of what it looks like? Does anyone know if this space can be used as storage or will it be a weight balance problem?

The hull on my 1997 35' Lightening is glassed in under the seat cushions. I thought about cutting an opening to use as storage space...and I chicken out!
