Foam & Feather Fillings
Foam & Feather cushion filling is designed to give the feel of a feather cushioning with the support of a foam cushion.
The high density foam sits in the core of the cushion with a layer of feather and down wrapped around to create a comfy squishy feel. This also forms durable seat cushion as the feather layer saves some of the impact from the foam core thereby providing a more comfy and durable seat cushion.
This type of cushion is suitable for both back and seat cushions but may require a degree of plumping to maintain neatness, shape and comfort.
Why feathers?
Since the dawn of sofa making feathers have been used to fill sofa cushions. This natural filling material is highly resilient and durable and does not lose its tuft when compared to synthetic fillings. It’s also cosy and makes the sofa more comfortable.
Disadvantages are that you may need to plump or pat your sofa occasionally and that the odd stray feather might appear over time.
This type of cushions fillings are used by many of the world’s leading designer brands such as Polyform, Flexform, Camerich
