Feather Back Cushions

Replacement Feather Sofa Back Cushions

The made to measure feather back cushions are made for replacing flat, sagging or tired back cushion interiors in sofas, chairs and armchairs.

They are used for removable sofa back cushions, chair back cushions, armchair back cushions, loose backs and scatter backs where a soft, relaxed feather feel is preferred.

If your existing sofa back cushions have become flat, hollow, lumpy or misshapen, a new replacement feather cushion interior can help restore fullness, comfort and the traditional plumped appearance of the furniture without replacing the original covers.

Feather back cushions give a softer and more relaxed feel than foam. They are a traditional choice for customers who value natural movement, weight and classic upholstered comfort.

Made to Measure Feather Back Cushion Interiors

Each feather cushion inner is made to order according to the required size, shape and filling.

This makes them suitable for replacing existing feather sofa back cushions, chair cushions and armchair cushion interiors where the original filling has become tired, uneven or uncomfortable.

We can produce replacement feather back cushion inners for:

• Square back cushions
• Rectangular back cushions
• Loose sofa backs
• Scatter back cushions
• Tapered cushions
• Curved cushions
• Cushions with rounded corners
• Shaped upholstery cushions
• Traditional furniture restoration

For help with an unusual cushion shape, contact us and send us a clear photograph of the empty cover.

Replacing Flat or Sagging Sofa Back Cushions

Sofa back cushions take regular use and feather fillings naturally settle over time.

An older feather cushion can flatten, spread, collapse or become uneven, leaving the sofa looking tired even when the fabric covers remain in perfectly usable condition.

Replacing the interior allows you to keep the existing cushion cover while restoring its fullness and comfort.

This makes replacement feather cushion inners used for sofas, chairs and armchairs where the furniture itself is still in good condition.

European Duck Feather Back Cushions

European duck feather is a traditional natural cushion filling offering good body, weight and comfort.

It produces a soft, full cushion with natural movement and a relaxed upholstered finish.

Duck feather back cushions are particularly suitable for customers replacing existing feather sofa cushions or restoring traditional chairs and armchairs where a classic cushion feel is required.

Duck Feather & Down Back Cushions

Duck feather and down provides an even softer and more cushion filling.

The addition of down helps produce a lighter, fuller and softer cushion interior while retaining the natural feel and movement associated with feather.

A feather and down back cushion is particularly suitable for higher-comfort sofa backs, armchairs and traditional loose cushions where a soft, plump and relaxed finish is preferred.

Feather Back Cushions vs Fibre Back Cushions

Feather and fibre back cushions are both soft fillings, but they behave differently.

Feather back cushions are heavier and more traditional, with natural movement and a relaxed, dressed appearance.

Fibre back cushions are lighter and feather-free, and can provide a fuller, springier appearance.

If you prefer a lighter feather-free option, see the Fibre Back Cushions.

For the complete range of options, browse Fibre & Feather Cushions.

Feather Back Cushions vs Foam Back Cushions

Feather back cushions are softer and less structured than foam cushions.

Foam holds its shape more firmly and generally requires less daily dressing, while feather provides greater natural movement and a softer traditional feel.

Choose feather if you prefer:

• Soft, relaxed comfort
• Natural movement
• A traditional upholstered appearance
• A cushion that can be plumped and dressed

Choose foam where firmer support, sharper shape retention or lower maintenance is more important.

For firmer alternatives, explore Foam Cut to Size.

How to Measure for Replacement Feather Back Cushions

For the best result, measure the empty cushion cover, not the old feather interior.

Older cushion interiors can flatten, spread and distort with use, so measuring the old filling may produce inaccurate dimensions.

Step 1: Remove the Existing Cushion Interior

Remove the old feather, fibre or foam filling completely from the cushion cover.

Step 2: Measure the Width

Measure the empty cover from seam to seam across its widest point.

Step 3: Measure the Height

Measure from the bottom seam to the top seam of the empty back cushion cover.

Step 4: Measure the Border

If the cushion has a boxed edge, measure the border panel from seam to seam.

This helps us calculate the appropriate filling and finished fullness.

The border measurement is not necessarily the final visible depth of the finished feather cushion, as feather interiors are filled to produce a fuller, rounded appearance.

Step 5: Check the Cushion Shape

Tell us whether the cushion is square, rectangular, tapered, curved, rounded or otherwise shaped.

For unusual or complex cushion shapes, send us photographs of the empty cover. In some cases we may also request a paper template.

Important Feather Cushion Care

Feather cushions provide wonderfully soft, traditional comfort, but they are not a fit-and-forget cushion filling.

They need regular:

• Plumping
• Turning
• Dressing
• Redistribution of the filling

Feather naturally settles during use. Regular care helps keep the filling evenly distributed and maintains the cushion's fullness, comfort and appearance.

This movement and settling is a normal characteristic of feather rather than a product fault.

Matching Feather Seat Cushions

If you are replacing the backs of a sofa or chair, you may also want to replace tired seat interiors at the same time.

see the Feather Seat Cushions for made to measure replacement feather seat cushion interiors.

Using new seat and back cushion interiors together can help restore a more balanced appearance and feel across the furniture.
