    Just a regular hair dryer? I have a couch that could use that.

    I have a 1500 watt digital heat gun that should do the trick. It's a regular heat gun but it has an LCD screen on the back so you can set the temperature. It's really handy.

    I think it's a steam gun. There seems to be wisps of vapor visible at times.

    I wonder if it has the same resilience after "refreshing". Lots of vehicle seat foam could that treatment.
