Sofa cushions

I’m looking for inspiration

Ive got some cheap cushions from the range and they’ve completely lost their shape and plumpness.

I’m replacing them all- does anyone have duck feather ones? Do they keep their shape?

Also do your sofas pillows match? Or are they random?

duck feather ones are more expensive but definitely worth it, have had mine for over a year and they are just as plump

I have some pads from Argos and they have held up well over the last couple of years. Our scatter cushions are all random and don't match. I don't know why, but I don't buy them as I make them for a living Grin

Got to be feather- look much better and keep shape for years.

Mine very much match - 2 velvet sofas, navy and ochre, with eau di nil walls, so cushions and throws are a mixture of the 3 colours - plain vekvets for contrast and also patterned.

Sitting room all different greens/ neutral/ pale grey- very eclectic: check/ plains/ stars/embroidered/ slogan but all tone in. Pale biscuit tweed sofa.

I like to be toned but not from.a brochure- pick cushions up everywhere.

I recently got cushions from La Redoute. I love them.
The hairy one isn’t from there but the rest are.

Lovely Priamfarrl we have similar taste in colours!

Ours are mostly duck feather pads, although one or two are hollow fibre (I keep meaning to replace these with feather pads and will eventually as they don't look as good!)

The cushions themselves are an eclectic mix although the colours do all go together. So, on the kitchen sofa (teal velvet) we have a few Vanessa Arbuthnott (different patterns and sizes) in teal, taupe, cream, powder blue and red, plus one red Liberty William Morris design and a couple of (different) plain pale blues. These are a mix of ones I've made, eBay purchases and Homesense.

In the living room the two sofas (cream linen and olive green velvet) have a mix of - two (different design) Vanilla Fly, one Timorous Beasties, a William Morris embroidered pattern, gold/green sequins, olive sheepskin, dark green crushed velvet, purple velvet, pale olive velvet and an aubergine flowery pattern. These were also mostly eBay and Homesense/TK purchases although the Vanilla Fly ones came from a shop in Brighton.

The snug sofa has my prized embroidered teal velvet Anke Drechsel 😍, a William Morris strawberry thief in a weird colourway, a Matthew Williamson lime velvet from Debenhams, a couple in Voyage peacock feather fabrics I made myself and a bubblegum pink velvet one from TK.....

Nothing too matchy here, lol 😂

My new hobby is finding cushion makers on Etsy using designer fabric. I've several for a fraction of the normal price now.
I also have some from museum shops which do homeware ranges like London Transport.

I’ve got feather cushions - they do plump up ok. I like them because they have some give in them.

rosegoldwatcher · 07/01/2022 18:46

Feather pads all the way. They do need a daily plumping but last a great deal longer than synthetic ones.

Like a PP upthread, I make my own (but not professionally) so change the covers more frequently than if I had to buy them ready made. I tend to go for a colour theme throughout the room (2 sofas + a snuggler) and arrange symmetrically on each piece of furniture.

I would love to be able to be more 'free' and artistic though.
