Cushions & Covers

What Size Cushions Are There?

Our indoor cushion and outdoor cushion collection promises there’s the perfect sized cushion for your space whether you need mini or small, standard or regular, large, huge or jumbo. Starting with our Mighty floor cushion at 92cm x 92cm, the Big cushion at 63cm x 63cm , the Essential cushion at 51cm x 51cm , our Lumbar cushion at 40cm x 63cm, and finally, the Junior cushion 40cm x 40cm, a crowd favourite coming.

Difference Between Cushions And Pillows?

Pillows serve a more functional role in the bedroom; they are carefully designed to support your head, neck and spinal alignment. Cushions are used as decorative pieces for every-day couches in the lounge, as sofa cushions, feature chairs, standard chair cushions,cosy beds and any nook that you feel needs that extra touch of comfort.

How Many Cushions Do I Need?

The cushion quantity choice is yours! But we do understand it can be quite tricky to know where to start when it comes to choosing how many cushions you require for your space, living room, bedroom or home. As a rough guide we recommend the following for cushion quantities:

• The 2 - 2.5 seater: build the foundations of comfortable lounging with these sofa cushions; x2 Big cushions or x2 Essential couch pillows, and 1x Junior cushion.
• The 3 seater: More room = more sofa cushions! Style together x4-x5 Big cushions or Essential cushions for a luxuriously full aesthetic.
• The 4 seater: x4 - x6 Big couch cushions or Essential couch cushions will bring your couch to life. Add on x2 Lumbar cushions and x2 Junior cushions as the cherry on top.
• Beds: For a queen sized bed, we love the look of x2 Big bed cushions on either side, followed by x2 Essential cushions with either the choice of the Lumbar or Junior cushion to bring the aesthetic full circle. For bigger or smaller beds, you can add or take away as many cushions as you like due to the versatility and design of our cushions.

How To Choose Cushions?

Choosing cushions all narrows down to personal preference and what style and energy you want to welcome into your space. Luckily, our cushion collections offer a varied colour palette and a range of cushion fabric materials to suit any interior. It’s important to slowly bring in the addition of cushions to a space that thoughtfully matches them, so start by observing what you have already in your space and highlight different colours, materials and artwork that will further be complimented by Hommey’s cushion covers.

If you’re after a more muted and minimalist aesthetic, our Linen cushion and Corduroy cushion collections will perfectly inject a new layer of comfort for ultimate rest and relaxation. If you’re looking for bursts of bright and eclectic colours, our signature Bouclé cushion and Velvet cushion collections will be just what you’re after.

Do Cushions Need Covers?

We recommend popping a cushion cover over your Hommey cushion inserts. This will not only add more colour, interest and depth to your space - but it will also protect the cushion inserts and prolong your cushions longevity, so you can have your cushions forever.

How Do I Look After My Cushions? 

Machine Washable Cushion Covers

If the cushion product care tag says that the cushion cover can be machine washed, simply unzip the cushion cover and remove it from the cushion. Once the cushion cover is placed in the washing machine, pop the cushion cover a gentle cycle in cold water with mild, natural detergent. Make sure the cushion cover is zipped up before (just in case the cushion cover twists and turns into a tangled mess). Cushion covers can be hung outside on the line, or to avoid shrinkage, place the damp cushion cover onto the cushion and let it dry molding itself to the shape of the cushion for the perfect fit.

Hand Washing Couch Cushions

Make sure you take a good look at the cushion cover care tag to see if the cushion cover is machine washable. If not, there are a few steps you can take to get rid of any stubborn stains on your cushion cover. Firstly, remove the cushion cover from the cushion inner so the inner doesn’t get damaged or wet. In a spray bottle, mix 1 cup of white vinegar, 1 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of all natural dish soap. Lightly spray the cushion cover stain and give the mixture a minute or so to sink into the cushion cover.

Once the liquid has settled into the cushion cover, lightly dab the stain with a cloth until it has removed - do not scrub aggressively as this may damage the fibres in the cushion cover. Once the cushion cover stain is gone, use a separate clean rag and make it damp with clean water to rinse the spot, leaving it fresh to dry. Top tip: baking soda is a great tool to use on cushion cover stains that have a stronger odour - simply leave overnight and repeat the above steps. 

Once you’ve completed the cushion cover spot stain removal, give the cushion an overall clean to make sure all remaining dirt is gone. Add a drop or two of natural dish soap to a damp cloth and gently rub the entire cushion cover with it, covering each corner of the cushion cover. Repeat until there is no dirt left and use a new damp cloth to rinse the cushion free of remaining dish soap.

How Often Should I Clean My Cushion Covers?

Scheduling time to clean and maintain freshness of your cushion covers should definitely be part of your cleaning routine! Removing dirt and dust from your cushion covers can be done once a week with a vacuum cleaner, and we recommend washing the cushion covers every three months to prolong longevity. If you notice a stain on your cushion cover, we recommend jumping on the clean up job as soon as possible for ease of removal from your cushion. Once you’re done with the regular maintenance, you’ll be ready to sit back and enjoy your space in all of its freshness.
