FAQs about cushions

Cushions are a versatile addition to any room, offering a combination of comfort and decorative appeal. Whether you’re choosing cushions for bed or looking for outdoor cushions to brighten up your living room, there’s something for every need. Below, we answer some common questions about choosing and arranging cushions.

How many cushions should be on a bed?

The number of cushions you use depends on your personal style and the size of the bed. For a single bed, two or three bed cushions are enough to create a neat and cosy look. Larger beds, like doubles or super kings, can accommodate up to eight cushions, including bedroom cushions and decorative pieces. If you’re unsure how to put cushions on a bed, start with pillows at the back, followed by medium-sized cushions, and finish with smaller accents at the front.

How big should a floor cushion be?

Floor cushions come in a range of sizes, depending on how you intend to use them. Larger options, such as extra large cushions or large cushions for sofa, work well for lounging or creating an informal seating area. For smaller spaces or additional accents, compact chair cushions or medium-sized floor cushions are a practical choice. Choose durable fabrics to match your space, especially for high-traffic areas.

Are feather-filled cushions better?

Feather cushions offer softness and durability, making them a popular choice for both sofa cushions and bedroom cushions. They tend to retain their shape better than synthetic options, providing a plump, luxurious feel. However, synthetic-filled cushions are easier to maintain and may suit those with allergies. The choice depends on your comfort preferences and the level of maintenance you prefer.

How to waterproof cushions for outside?

To make outdoor cushions weather-resistant, use waterproof covers or treat the fabric with a water-repellent spray. Many cushions designed for outdoor use, including bench cushions, already come with durable, weatherproof fabrics. Store your waterproof cushions in a dry area or under cover when not in use to help maintain their appearance and longevity.
