Browse our full range of Cushions — Home Decor essentials, fast delivery and 30-day returns.
Cushions are the easiest and most affordable way to refresh a room — a quick change of covers can lift a tired sofa, warm up a bedroom or pull a whole colour scheme together in an afternoon. Our range covers scatter cushions and covers in a spread of sizes, from neat lumbar shapes to generous squares, in velvet, linen, cotton, chenille and boucle finishes and a palette that spans calm neutrals to bold statement shades.
Whether you're layering a sofa, dressing a bed or adding a soft finishing touch to an armchair or bench, the guidance below will help you choose sizes, fillings and combinations that look plump and considered — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
A relaxed, layered look is easier to achieve than it seems. On a standard three-seater, start with a pair of larger cushions in the corners, layer a slightly smaller pair in front, and finish with a single lumbar or patterned cushion in the centre — an odd number overall tends to look most natural. On a corner or larger sofa, work in loose groups rather than spacing everything evenly. Vary the sizes so the arrangement has depth, and don't be afraid to overfill slightly — a plump cushion always looks more inviting than a flat one.
The trick to combining cushions is to balance three things: colour, pattern and texture. Pick two or three colours from something already in the room — a rug, a painting or the walls — and repeat them across your cushions to tie the scheme together. Mix pattern scales so a large print sits beside a smaller one or a plain, and layer different textures such as smooth velvet against nubbly linen or soft boucle for tactile interest. A safe formula is one patterned, one textured and one plain cushion in a shared palette.
The filling decides how a cushion feels and holds its shape. Feather and down fillings are soft, luxurious and mouldable but need a regular plump to stay full. Hollowfibre and synthetic fillings are supportive, allergy-friendly and bounce back on their own, making them the practical choice for busy homes. For the plumpest look, choose a pad around 2cm larger than the cover. Most covers with zips can be removed for washing — always check the care label — and a quick daily plump and karate-chop keeps cushions looking sharp.
Larger squares of around 50 to 60cm work well as anchor cushions in the corners, with standard 45cm squares and a lumbar cushion layered in front. Mixing a couple of sizes gives the arrangement depth and a relaxed, considered look.
An odd number usually looks most natural. Around three to five suits a standard three-seater, while a larger or corner sofa can carry more, arranged in loose groups rather than spaced evenly along the back.
Draw two or three colours from something already in the room and repeat them across your cushions. Mix pattern scales and textures - for example one patterned, one textured and one plain cushion in a shared palette - so the combination feels balanced rather than busy.
Feather and down feel soft and luxurious but need regular plumping, while hollowfibre and synthetic fillings are supportive, allergy-friendly and bounce back on their own. For a plump finish, choose a pad around 2cm larger than the cover.
Many covers have a zip so they can be removed and washed, but always follow the care label for the fabric. Some, such as certain velvets, are better spot-cleaned or dry-cleaned to protect the pile and finish.
