That's a super easy project, but the foam will be a little costly. I took an upholstery class and my first project was a mid century sofa. The new foam was the most expensive part of the whole thing. Around $300.
You can totally do it, though!

Plants work really great at cleaning toxic air. I've had amazing success with Janet Craig plants at removing very heavy paint fumes from an office where I was working. (almost overnight)

Home Depot sells various sizes of wood rounds for table tops, etc. If you find the right size and route the edge with a router to make a lip on one side, it could work.

I took a class and photographed the process. I added comments to the pics explaining what I was doing at each step. If I could do it, anyone can.

If you have a wall heater unit, PLEASE TURN IT OFF IMMEDIATELY! I had the same exact thing happen here in my rental house for weeks and couldn't figure out what it was. It was only on the plastics at first, then I saw it on the grill of the heater unit and called the gas company. They said that the carbon monoxide in my house was off the charts. A toy poodle I had been fostering had died a week before and we couldn't figure out why. There was a tiny clog in the vent to the outside. They told us that it was a very common problem with gas wall heaters.

Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth is a safe natural way to kill all insects in your house. You can get it online. Dust a little around the areas where the bugs are coming in and they will be dead in a day. It works for bedbugs too, of course!
