Fluff Fluff Fluff Your Cushions!

Your family and guests love to lounge on your comfy sofa. However, this can cause feathers in your down blend cushions to compress and rearrange causing feathers to poke through your cushion fabric. An easy way to restore bounce and life to your cushions is to fluff, fluff, fluff! Fluff your cushions often for longevity, to minimize flattening of your cushions and reduce wear that can occur over a period of time.

Tip: Fluff your cushions by holding one end of the cushion in one hand. With the opposite hand hit your cushion gently in all areas to begin to settle and arrange feathers back into place.


Flip Your Cushions Periodically!

Flip your cushions to even out wear overtime. If feathers are starting to poke through more frequently, give your cushion a flip to relieve one side of your cushions of pressure and flattening. Flipping and fluffing your down blend cushions is the perfect way to help your cushions retain their shape over time.

Tip: Flip your couch cushions every 1 to 2 weeks to keep dents and wear minimized over a longer period of time so you can keep your favorite sofa looking beautiful in your home.
