Fillings provide comfort and have a real impact on how your furniture looks. They
need regular maintenance too - our specialist sales consultants will show you how
to keep your furniture at its best with daily care.
There are 3 basic interiors:
Foam: Foam seats tend to give the firmest feel and the most resilient
look. They are generally more uniform in appearance. Foam cushions give good support
and recover well after they are sat on. The denser the foam, the firmer the level
of comfort. Manufacturers of traditional furniture prefer to use foam interiors.
Fibre: a man-made synthetic interior usually encased in ‘ticking’,
a down-proof cover that prevents small particles escaping. The comfort level is
usually medium to soft, depending on the volume to weight ratio of the filling.
These cushions must be plumped daily to keep their shape and comfort.
Feathers: a soft, luxurious option, these cushions require rather
more care than fibre or foam to maintain their looks. When used or handled they
rustle as the feathers move around in their down-proof cover. These cushions must
be plumped daily to keep their shape and comfort.
Our designers often use a mix of fillings to give a different feel to their furniture.
You may find foam cushions with a fibre wrap, or feather cushions with a foam core.
Make sure you try them all out before making your choice.
If you really love the look of that feather-filled suite but are allergic to them,
don’t despair. Our sales consultants will do everything they can to find an alternative
filling for you.
