Fibre Cushions

Fibre cushions are made from polyester hollow strands and are pumped with air; the hollow strands are full of air and will be blown into a cushion. Fibre cushions are great for cushions with a plump appearance; the fibres will compress with pressure making them much softer than a foam cushion. 

So if you need a cushion that is soft and cosy, a fibre cushion is a good option; they are a popular choice when it comes to back cushions, scatter cushions, and arm fillings; this is because they are a versatile material and are also much more cost-effective over feather and down. Overall, fibre cushions are soft, fluffy and lightweight, so they are perfect if you need a replacement cushion, something that is comfortable; a cushion for a sofa would be ideal.

 

Feather Cushions

Feather cushions are made from materials taken from the back of the animal and wings; feather-filled cushions are much softer than other types of cushions. The feathers can thin over time, and the quills will poke through; you can minimise this by using a protector or a thick cushion case. Feather-filled cushions are much softer but can flatten over time, so it’s essential to consider them when choosing a replacement cushion. 

Feather cushions are more luxurious and are great when it comes to scattering cushions for your lounge sofa. Feathers will make the cushion firm and provide support to the cushion. Another great reason to choose replacement feather cushions is that feathers are natural and can be plumped with a shake.

 

Foam Cushions

Foam cushions are made from polyurethane foam, a recommended choice for sofa cushions. This medium-density foam is excellent for sofa cushions and is often swapped for fibre. Foam cushions are an excellent option for cushions over 10cm thick; the medium-density foam will be a good choice as it provides comfort and retains its shape.

Foam cushions are long-lasting and, on average, will last around three years; after this time, they may start to lose their bounce and shape. But their firmness and longevity have made them a good choice for a replacement cushion. Foam is ideal for various options; it is also incredibly malleable, meaning it can work for various cushion types. When finding and choosing the suitable material for your cushions, you need to decide first which type of cushion you are replacing; a sofa scatters cushion will be different to a sofa seat cushion. Foam is an excellent option for sofa cushions as it is highly durable, comfortable, and low maintenance. Not only that, but the foam is hypo-allergenic, which is perfect for those with allergy sufferers, unlike feathers.

Final Thoughts

If you are searching for something that provides a little bit more luxury, then feather cushions are perfect for you; not for sofa cushions or anything that requires structure, but for something you can relax on or even sleep with, and pillows are the height of luxury. Feathers provide the softest filling; not only that, but any cushion you fill with feathers will always be plump and welcoming to anyone who uses them. But it does need to be said feathers are not the best for homeowners with allergies; they are not hypo-allergenic. 

Fibre is ideally situated right in the middle of these two materials, it is just as comfortable as both feathers and foam, but it does not have the sturdiness that foam offers or the soft luxurious feel of feathers. You can achieve the perfect cosy solution you are looking for without sinking into the cushions or resting on top of them. When you have decided, the time has come to replace the sofa cushions. You need to establish which ones you are looking to replace in your home. Generally, you will not need a full set of cushions replaced all at once; most likely, you will only need one or two at a time. You will notice when your cushions need replacing; some clients choose to replace all the bottom sofa cushions at once, for example, to ensure they are the same in terms of thickness and comfort. 

 

What We Do

Once you have chosen the cushions you are looking to replace, you need to measure them so our team can create the perfect cushion filling for them; these measurements need to be as accurate as possible. If they are not accurate, you will not be able to get your new cushion inserts into the fabric you have, or it may be too small. 

If you are looking for sofa cushion replacements, then we recommend you speak to our team; we will be able to work with you to establish the best sofa cushion style and size for you and your specific sofa. Having worked with sofa cushion replacements for several years, we have replaced cushions off a wide range of branded ones and generic sofas. If you speak to our team, you will be able to find out everything you need to know regarding sofa cushions, and the shape and size of the cushion you require will be perfectly matched to your sofa.

 

Can I replace the foam in my sofa cushions?

Absolutely! Your sofa is probably the most used item in your home, with you and your family sitting on it daily and sometimes for hours at a time; that is why it can be such a massive investment for homeowners. Our team here at The Cushions Guys are more than happy to replace your sofa cushions should you require it; more often than not, all sofa cushion covers are easily removable, meaning they can be put onto brand new cushion infills when your original ones have seen better days. 

 

How much does it cost to get replacement cushions made?

This depends on each order; scatter cushion infills will be cheaper than complete sofa cushion replacement services, but if you want to find out more about the cushion replacement service we offer, all you need to do is give us a call. Or you can use our online calculator to find out more.

Which foam is the best for sofa cushions?

This all comes down to personal preference; some prefer a firmer sofa cushion, whereas others prefer a soft and comfortable sofa they sink into. It all comes down to preference, but when it comes to the back cushions on your sofa, we suggest you use softer foam.
