The Growing Demand for Cushion Refills
In recent years, we’ve noticed a significant increase in customers seeking to replace the filling in their cushions. Many homeowners find that by simply updating the cushion fill, they can extend the life of their furniture by several years. This trend is likely influenced by two factors: the declining quality of fill materials in store-bought furniture and a shift in consumer behavior due to economic changes. As people look to save money and make the most of their existing furniture, refilling cushions has become a popular and cost-effective solution.
The Problem with Poor-Quality Cushion Fill
One of the main issues we see in store-purchased furniture is the use of low-quality cushion fill, particularly in “blendown” cushions. While these down blend cushions are marketed as luxurious and high-quality, the reality is often disappointing. Typically, blendown fill consists of a mix of poly fiber and a small percentage of down feathers (usually 10/90). While this might sound appealing, the result is a cushion that clumps, flattens, and wears out quickly, especially with regular use. For customers who have invested in what they believed to be premium cushions, this can be a frustrating and costly experience.
Why Custom Cushion Fill is a Better Investment
At La Costa Upholstery, we recommend choosing the least expensive cushion fill when purchasing new furniture from retail stores and then investing in custom cushion fill through a professional upholstery shop like ours. By doing so, you can ensure that your cushions are filled with high-quality materials that provide the comfort, durability, and longevity you deserve. Custom cushion fill can be tailored to your specific needs, whether you prefer a firmer feel or a softer, more luxurious experience.
Extend the Life of Your Furniture
Replacing cushion fill is an excellent way to breathe new life into your furniture without the need for a complete reupholstery job or replacement. By opting for custom cushion fill, you can enjoy several more years of comfort and use from your existing pieces. This not only saves you money but also allows you to maintain the style and character of your furniture that you love.
