replacing feather fillings

[sinethomas]

I have a nice sofa from Heals, that just needs recovering and the cushions refilling. The old cushions are feather and are pretty shot. I would like to replace with foam and feather, but the prices I see are so variable I don't know what to expect.

Are there any recommended firms that do a good work for filling the inners? The cushions themselves are quite large, about 32"x28", and I did wonder if feather & foam is the best for this size.

Thanks.

A foam core wrapped with a feather casing is a good choice. Although expensive. To get a nice tailored look your local upholstery shop should be able to set you up.

Less expensive options would be to buy some feather bed pillows and stuff your cushions to your comfort. Or a foam core wrapped with dacron. Most cushions are done this way. But this would be a downgrade from feather cushions.
