There are several types of sofa cushion fillings, including foam (high-density, medium-density, and low-density), polyester fiberfill, down feather, and combination cushions that mix different materials for optimal support and comfort. For stylish cushion options to suit your interior, browse our collection of cushions.

Are high-density foam cushions suitable for heavy use?

Yes, high-density foam cushions are excellent for heavy use because they provide firm support and maintain their shape well over time. This makes them ideal for everyday seating and long-lasting furniture you might find in our furniture selections.

Do down-filled cushions require maintenance?

Yes, down-filled cushions typically require regular fluffing to maintain their loft and ensure optimal comfort. They’re perfect for creating a cozy and inviting setting, especially when paired with complementary soft blankets for added warmth.

What is the difference between memory foam and regular foam cushions?

Memory foam cushions mold to your body's shape, offering customized support and pressure relief, whereas regular foam cushions provide consistent support without conforming to your body. If you’re redesigning your space, our living room design ideas offer great tips for pairing cushions with decor.

Are spring down cushions durable?

Spring down cushions are durable and can last for over 15 years with minimal loss of firmness or comfort, making them a long-lasting choice. When investing in such quality, you may also want to coordinate them with pieces from our decor collection.

Are polyester fiberfill cushions good for outdoor use?

No, polyester fiberfill cushions are not ideal for outdoor use due to their lack of water resistance. Instead, consider more weather-resistant options available in our patio furniture collection for durable comfort outdoors.

How often should foam cushions be replaced?

Foam cushions typically need to be replaced when they lose their shape and no longer provide adequate support, which can vary from 5 to 10 years depending on use and quality. Monitoring your sofa and updating it with pieces from our full product range can help maintain overall comfort and style.

Are combination cushions more expensive than single-material cushions?

Yes, combination cushions can be more expensive than single-material options, but they offer a balance of support and comfort that may be worth the investment. Learn more about choosing the right home accessories in our guide to modern furniture shopping in Johannesburg.
