Cushions

Cushions are more than just a soft place to land. They are an essential element in the design and comfort of your living space, providing both aesthetic appeal and functionality. The right selection and maintenance of cushions can transform your couch into a focal point of your home. Discover everything you need to know about MyHouse cushions below.

What is a Cushion?
Cushions are soft bags of fabric stuffed with wool, feathers, polyester staple fibre, non-woven material, or even paper torn into fragments. They're not just for aesthetics; cushions provide support and comfort on a couch or chair. MyHouse cushions, known for their plush feel and durability, can also offer an element of style and colour to your home decor.

How Do You Match Cushions to a Couch?
Matching cushions to your couch doesn't have to be a trial-and-error process. With MyHouse cushions, it's all about complementing patterns and hues that accentuate your sofa. Consider the colour of your couch—select cushions that either match or provide a pop of contrast. Don’t be afraid to mix and match: combine different textures, sizes, and patterns to create a layered effect that’s visually appealing. Remember, if you have a patterned couch, go for solid-coloured cushions and vice versa.

How Many Cushions Can You Have on a Couch?
There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer to this question since it largely depends on the size of your couch and personal preferences. But as a general rule, an odd number of cushions often creates a balanced yet dynamic look. For a standard three-seater, five cushions allow for variety without overcrowding the space. With MyHouse cushions' diverse sizes, you can play around to see what configuration fits your style and comfort needs.

How to Clean Couch Cushions?
Proper care can extend the life of your MyHouse cushions significantly. If your cushion covers are removable, washing them according to the care instructions is best. For non-removable covers, spot cleaning with a mild detergent typically works well. Always test an inconspicuous area first. Vacuuming with an upholstery attachment can help remove dust and prevent dirt from becoming embedded in the fabric.

How to Fix Slouching Cushions?
Slouching cushions are a common issue but fear not—there are ways to restore them to their former glory. First, consider inserting additional foam or batting to plump them up. MyHouse cushions often come with zippers, making this a straightforward fix. For a quick solution, flipping and rotating your cushions regularly can also help maintain their shape and distribute wear evenly.

By understanding the ins and outs of cushions, from selection to maintenance, you can ensure that your MyHouse cushions remain cosy and attractive for years to come. Whether you're coordinating with a new couch or reviving an old favourite, these tips will help you make the most of your cushions. So go on, get comfy, and show your couch some love.
