Fibre Back Cushions

Replacement Fibre Sofa Back Cushions

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

They are particularly well suited to sofa back cushions, armchair back cushions, loose back cushions and scatter back cushions where a soft, plump and feather-free filling is preferred.

If the existing cushion cover is still in good condition, replacing the interior can help restore fullness, comfort and appearance without replacing the complete sofa or chair.

Fibre gives a lighter and softer feel than feather and a much more relaxed finish than foam.

Made to Measure Fibre Back Cushion Interiors

Each replacement fibre cushion interior is made to order according to the size, shape and level of fullness required.

This makes fibre suitable for a wide variety of replacement sofa and chair back cushions, including:

• Square back cushions
• Rectangular back cushions
• Tapered back cushions
• Curved cushions
• Rounded-corner cushions
• Loose sofa backs
• Scatter back cushions
• Pillow-style back cushions
• Traditional upholstery cushions
• Shaped replacement cushion interiors

For unusual or complex shapes, contact us and send us a clear photograph of the empty cushion cover.

Replacing Flat or Hollow Sofa Back Cushions

Back cushions can gradually lose their original fullness as the filling settles through normal use.

Common signs that an interior may need replacing include:

• Flat sofa back cushions
• Hollow areas in the cushion
• Sagging or collapsed filling
• Uneven or lumpy cushions
• Covers that appear loose or under-filled
• Cushions that no longer recover after plumping

A new replacement fibre back cushion inner can help restore a fuller, softer and more balanced appearance while allowing you to retain the existing cover.

Fibre Armchair and Chair Back Cushions

Fibre is also a filling for many chair and armchair back cushions.

It is commonly used for:

• Armchair backs
• Fireside chair cushions
• Occasional chairs
• Loose chair backs
• Traditional upholstered chairs
• Furniture restoration projects

Because fibre is soft and lightweight, it works particularly well where comfort and fullness are more important than firm structural support.

Fibre Scatter Back Cushion Replacements

Fibre is one of the most popular fillings for scatter back cushions because it produces a soft, full and plump appearance.

If existing scatter backs have become flat, thin or lifeless, replacing the inner can give the cushions considerably more body while retaining the original covers.

Scatter back cushions naturally need regular plumping and dressing to keep the fibre evenly distributed.

Feather-Free Back Cushion Filling

Fibre is a useful option for customers who want a feather-free cushion interior.

It provides softness, fullness and comfort without feather or down and is suitable for sofa backs, chair backs, armchairs and scatter cushions.

Please note that feather-free does not automatically mean allergy-free. Customers with specific allergy concerns should check suitability before ordering.

Fibre Back Cushions vs Feather Back Cushions

Both fibre and feather create soft, relaxed back cushions, but the feel is different.

Fibre back cushions are:

• Lighter
• Feather-free
• Soft and plump
• Easier to handle
• Often fuller in appearance

Feather back cushions are:

• Heavier
• More traditional
• It is naturally mobile
• Softer in a different, more relaxed way
• Designed to be regularly dressed and plumped

If you prefer a traditional natural filling, see the Feather Back Cushions.

Fibre Back Cushions vs Foam Back Cushions

Fibre and foam provide very different levels of support.

Fibre is softer, lighter and more relaxed. It is useful where a comfortable, plump back cushion is required.

Foam is firmer and holds its shape more consistently, making it better suited where stronger support or sharper cushion definition is wanted.

A foam core with a fibre or polyester wrap can also provide a useful compromise, support from the foam with a softer outer feel.

For firmer options, explore Foam Cut to Size.

How to Measure for Replacement Fibre Back Cushions

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

Old fibre interiors can flatten, spread and distort over time, so measuring the existing inner may give inaccurate dimensions.

Step 1: Remove the Existing Interior

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

Step 2: Measure the Width

Measure the empty cushion 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 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 amount of filling required and the appropriate finished fullness.

Step 5: Check the Shape

Tell us whether the cushion is square, rectangular, tapered, curved, rounded or another shape.

For unusual cushion shapes, photographs or a paper template may be required.

Why Fibre Back Cushions Are Quoted to Order

Fibre back cushions are not really a one-size-fits-all product.

The amount of filling required depends on:

• Cushion size
• Cushion shape
• Border depth
• Cover construction
• Fabric type
• Required level of fullness
• Intended use

For this reason, replacement fibre interiors are quoted individually rather than treated as a standard-size cushion pad.

Fibre Back Cushion Care

Fibre cushions are soft and comfortable, but they do require regular care.

We recommend:

• Plumping
• Turning
• Dressing
• Redistributing the filling

Fibre naturally settles with use. Regular care helps maintain an even appearance and keeps the cushion feeling full and comfortable.

Matching Fibre Seat Cushions

If you are replacing the back cushions, you may also want to assess the seat interiors.

see the Fibre Seat Cushions for made to measure replacement seat cushion options.

For most heavily used everyday sofa seats, foam or foam with a fibre wrap may provide better long-term support than fibre alone.

You can also see the Fibre Seat & Back Cushions range. The category itself positions fibre as a soft, plump, feather-free replacement option for sofa and chair interiors.
