Seat Cushion Options

Comfort is just as important as looks

We understand that comfort is subjective. It's hard to know if your sofa will be as comfy as it looks on our photos (we can assure you it will be). However, there is so much a photo can't tell you. How soft or firm are the seats? How much support is provided on the back? Is this a sofa to lay down and relax on?



Unlike some producers, we allow our customers to choose any of our seat fillings for any sofa model they wish. So there are no sofas specifically for sink-in deep lovers, or some just for those who like them nice and firm.



The following 3 types of seat cushions have been tried and tested by our customers over the years, so you can rest assured they will provide you with the perfect level of comfort that suits your needs.

Feather & Foam

Feather and foam seat cushions

 

A favourite for those who enjoy a soft, sink-in feel. Duck feathers are most commonly used in sofa cushions. Filled with the down feather and a foam core. Soft and luxurious to sit on, while the foam keeps it in shape and provides a good level of support.

Feathers are sewn into channels that are spread evenly across the cushion. This avoids lumps and ensures the cushion retains it's shape. They need to be plumped regularly to keep them looking great.

Fibre & Foam

Fibre and foam seat cushions

 

Generally made from polyester, fibre fillings create cushions that are soft, springy, and relaxed in feel. They are also a practical alternative for people who are allergic or sensitive to feathers but still want a cosy, sink-in comfort. Containing our exclusive "Comfy Fibre" these cushions are just as comfortable as feather. The fibres we use have 50% more air pockets and are more bouncy than regular fibre.

Firm Foam

Firm foam seat cushions

 

Known for its firmness, resilience, and low maintenance, foam provides consistent support. It’s an excellent choice for first-time buyers or anyone who prefers a cushion that doesn’t require frequent plumping. 90% high density foam with a layer of softer reflex foam to provide some comfort. Feels like you are sitting on a cushion rather than in it.
