When it comes to choosing the perfect sofa, there are many factors to consider, including style, size, and fabric. But one of the most important decisions you’ll need to make is the type of seat cushion fill to choose. This will ultimately impact the longevity and the comfort of the couch. With so many options available, it can be challenging to know which one is right for you. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the differences between the different seat cushion fill options available at CouchHaus, so you can make an informed decision when selecting your next sofa.
Standard Fill (50/50 Fibre to Feather)
The standard fill option for seat cushions at CouchHaus contains a 50-50 mixture of feathers and polyester filling. This option is a good choice for those who prefer a traditional, plush feel to their cushions. The feathers provide a soft, comfortable feel, while the polyester helps to maintain the shape of the cushion over time.
One potential downside of the standard fill option is that the feathers may shift around over time, which can result in an uneven feel to the cushion. Easy fix though, just flip and pouf your cushions (check out this blog post on caring for your cushions). However, the cushions at CouchHaus are designed with a core of high density foam, which helps to prevent this from happening.
Feather-Free Fill (100% Fibre)
For those who prefer a cushion that is completely free of feathers, the feather-free fill option is a great choice. Whether you have an allegory or prefer animal-free products, this option is made entirely of polyester filling. The seating will provide a firmer feel to the cushion. This can be a good choice for those who prefer a more supportive feel when sitting.
One potential downside of the feather-free fill option is that it may not be as comfortable as the standard fill option. Nonetheless, a very popular option when considering couches! Keep in mind, most couches are traditionally foam and fibre filled.
Feather Fill (100% Feather and Down)
The feather fill option for seat cushions at CouchHaus contains 25% down clusters and 75% feathers. This option is a good choice for those who want a cushion that is soft, plush and comfortable - with the ultimate sink-in feel.
Like the standard fill option, the feather fill cushions at CouchHaus are designed with a core of high density foam to provide support in the cushion.
One potential downside of the feather fill option is that it may be more expensive than the other options, due to the higher cost of down clusters. Additionally, some people may be allergic to down, so this option may not be suitable for everyone. Keep in mind, with any feather filled couch, maintenance is an important part of the keeping your cushions plush.
Making the Right Choice for You
When choosing the perfect sofa, the type of seat cushion fill you select can make a big difference in terms of comfort and longevity. At CouchHaus, customers have three options to choose from: standard fill, feather-free fill, and feather fill.
The standard fill option is a good choice for those who prefer a traditional, plush feel to their cushions, while the feather-free fill option is ideal for those who prefer a firmer, more supportive feel. Finally, the feather fill option is a great choice for those who want a soft and comfortable cushion.
No matter which option you choose, it’s important to remember that the cushions at CouchHaus are designed with a core of high density foam, which helps to maintain their shape over time. With this in mind, you can be confident that your new sofa will provide you with years of comfort and style.
