We fucking love Dunelm. It's very hit and miss, but if you keep you're eyes pealed there are such good deals. Curtains especially which generally cost a fucking fortune from most places.
Eg. We found a raw steel coloured curtain pole with these hideously naff glass ball ends. But one had smashed so we got the whole thing inc rings for something like a fiver. I then heated some large bolts to match the pole and put them in the screw holes.
Recently we got this light reduced from >£100 to £25. Proper glass, nice cables, etc. It had a chrome ceiling rose, which I sprayed black. Obviously in an ideal world I'd be dropping £500 on a dining room light, but for now this is plenty good enough.
(hmm... That's reminded me it still needs some adjustment)

Go to dunelm and try out some foam irl to see how much it compresses.
If you're going to add foam on top use some spray adhesive to secure it to the existing foam.
Watch some videos on reupholstering. It's not rocket science, but it's good to know what order to work in.
