B&M have some lovely ones x

FlatsInDagenham · 26/03/2014 12:55

I second B&M. Also Primark do homeware.

IDugUpADiamond · 26/03/2014 12:58

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

Home Bargains do largish feather filled ones for £4.

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.

Tkmaxx - very fancy ones for 12-20 quid, look like 50 quid ones

juneybean · 26/03/2014 14:00

Matalan, I bought the most comfy snuggly cushions from there, a good size too

Longdistance · 26/03/2014 14:03

B&M vote here too.

Was there today, and some were on offer for 2 for £8.

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

Lonecatwithkitten · 26/03/2014 15:09

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.

ClownsLeftJokersRight · 26/03/2014 15:12

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.

ClownsLeftJokersRight · 26/03/2014 15:13

Ikea also good btwSmile

Dwinhofficoffi · 26/03/2014 15:17

The range do good ones too.

Fluffycloudland77 · 26/03/2014 15:22

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

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

IDugUpADiamond · 26/03/2014 15:58

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.

IDugUpADiamond · 27/03/2014 18:44

Can I have her number please Have? Grin

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).

GemmaTeller · 27/03/2014 19:51

Dunelm or Ikea

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/03/2014 19:53

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

whereisshe · 27/03/2014 19:57

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.

IKnowAMouse · 27/03/2014 20:03

I wait until the lovely feather filled ones are reduced in the John Lewis sale

Parietal · 27/03/2014 20:34

i got some lovely fabric. found advert in fabric shop for lady who makes cushions (£10 per cushion). got fillers from IKEA for £4 each. cheap & lovely cushions.

Pannacotta · 27/03/2014 22:15
