Frequently asked questions
Are cushions worth selling?
In sets, and cheaply. Designer fabrics and feather inners are what lift the price above nominal.
Do inners matter?
Yes. Feather inners hold shape far better than synthetic ones, and flattened inners are the most common complaint.
Should covers be washed first?
Always, and say so. Cushions sit against people, so hygiene expectations are higher than for other homeware.
