What Is the Best Filling for Your Cushions?

It's not just fabric and design that count when buying cushions for your home: the filling plays a major role too. The right filling can take your cushions from being simply decorative objects to comfortable companions for relaxing evenings or cosy mornings. At Just Furnishings, we offer two different high-quality fillings for cushions: Hollowfibre and Feather. Each has its own characteristics and the choice ultimately depends on your needs and preferences.

Here's an overview of the two options to help you choose the one that best suits your interior.

Hollowfibre filling

Hollowfibre is a synthetic fibre material renowned for its lightness, functionality and cost-effectiveness. That's why it's such a popular choice.

Key benefits:

Hypoallergenic: Hollowfibre is a great option for people with allergies or sensitivity, as it doesn't retain allergens like natural materials can.

Soft and supportive: this filling offers a balance between firmness and comfort, making it ideal for decorative cushions or cushions that are used often.

Easy care: Cushions with hollowfibre filling require little maintenance and keep their shape well. Hollowfibre cushions are ideal for busy homes, especially those with children or pets.

Feather filling

If you're looking for a luxury, plush feel, feather-filled cushions are the perfect option. Made from natural feathers, these cushions are both comfortable and elegant.

Key benefits:

Luxurious comfort: Feather cushions are incredibly soft and offer a classic sink-in feel.

Durability: With the right care, feather cushions can last for years, keeping their quality and shape.

Elegant appearance: The weight and softness of feathers give your cushions a high-end look and feel, perfect for creating a cosy, sophisticated home.

Ideal for: Feather cushions are ideal for traditional interiors, lounge areas and anyone who values comfort above all else.

How do I choose the right filling?

When choosing between hollowfibre and feather, you should think about the following points:

Functionality: Hollowfibre is an excellent choice for everyday needs in terms of practicality and durability. For luxury comfort and timeless style, opt for feather.

Allergies: If you or a loved one suffers from allergies, hollowfibre is a safer option.

Style and looks: Feather cushions go well with traditional or elegant environments, while hollow fibre cushions look good in modern or minimalist settings.

Care: If you're looking for low-maintenance cushions, hollowfibre is the best choice. Feather cushions, on the other hand, require a little more care to keep their shine.
