Thing is, I don't want cheap cushions, I want expensive lush long lasting cushions, without the price tag Blush

I got some lovely bolsters from Homebase. Pale grey herringbone with buttons £7 each I think.

Make some? It isn't difficult and (depending on size), you can make 3-4 covers from 1m of furnishing fabric.

Dunelm mill. They do online if you are not near.

Buy cushion pads and then make a variety of cushions yourself in lovely materials they will be fraction of the cost of ready made versions.

I was going to suggest Dunelm too. But if possible try to stretch to feather filled inners. Anything else goes lumpy and misshapen sooner or later I find.

Tk maxx. They look suspiciously like the John Lewis ones.

House of fraser do an eBay shop, they do homeware.

Thank you everyone, I am checking your suggestions. I have noticed that House of Fraser's outlet shop on ebay doesn't have anything that the actual online shop doesn't also have, plus some cushions are more expensive in their outlet store. For example the Living By Christiane Lemieux Slate Oversized Chevron Print Cushion is £50 on the ebay outlet store, but reduced to £35 in the normal H of F. Go figure!

Get some nice feather inners from Dunelm and get someone to make some covers for you. I bought 4 meters of fabric and got 7 16x16'S and 6 17x13's out of it with piping. A friend mum ran them up for me for £5 each.

I've bought off eBay a couple of times. Got some gorgeous Osborne & Little fabric covers a few years ago and bluebellgray fabric ones recently. Workmanship was great both times (different sellers).

My mum used to make cushions. It's probably fairly easy but a lost skill.

The cushion pads from ikea are good and wear well, and lots of people sell quite cheap handmade cushion covers on etsy and eBay, eg Laura Ashley fabrics.
