Guide To Sofa Cushions - 2

2. Spring-Down

Cushions made with the spring-down construction are not as common in the modern industry as they used to be. These are made by filling in around innerspring coils with foam that it is wrapped in Dacron. Dacron is a polyester fiber that is very strong and resistant against stretching, so this material will help the cushion keep its shape. This spring and foam is then placed inside a bag made of muslin with chambers of blendown (down and feathers). The springs then offer the great support while the blendown provides the ultimate softness.

3. Blendown

This extremely soft filling is made of down and feathers wrapped around a core of foam and placed inside a muslin bag. It is the softest choice of material for cushions, but it will require frequent fluffing to keep its shape. For this reason, blendown is usually only used alone in the cushions along the back of the sofa.

Depending on the comfort level you want from your sofa cushions, you can pick the softest of the feathery blendown cushions or the long lasting flexible polyurethane foam filling. Whatever you decide, you should be informed on the plusses and minuses of each cushion-filling product.
