FEATHER TYPE

EUROPEAN 302 DE-QUILLED FEATHER

Type 302 refers to a high-quality duck feather grade known for its bulk fill and springy feel. Typically 95% feather with 5% down or finer feather, it’s sorted for medium size and complies with EN 12935 hygiene standards, making it ideal for cushions that need shape and resilience without sag.

85/15 FEATHER & DOWN

This 85/15 blend combines 85% European 302 duck feather with 15% soft duck down. It offers extra loft and a gentler sink compared to pure feather, while still holding shape well. Sorted to industry standards and EN 12935 compliant, it’s a premium fill ideal for back cushions or scatter cushions.

70/30 FEATHER / DOWN

A 70/30 blend offers 70% European 302 duck feather with 30% soft duck down, giving a noticeably softer, more luxurious feel. It retains some structure from the feather while adding more loft and lightness from the down. Fully EN 12935 compliant, it’s perfect for high-end scatter cushions or indulgent back supports.

How to Measure & Care for a Feather-Filled Equal-Sided Taper Cushion

Tailored Feather Seat Cushions (Equal Sided Taper) for window seats, benches, and custom built-ins with tapered shapes

Feather cushions with a tapered shape (wider at the front, narrower at the back, angled sides) need accurate measurements to ensure a perfect fit and full, plump finish. This guide shows you how to measure and care for your custom feather-filled tapered seat cushion.


🧷 Measuring a Tapered Cushion Cover – 4 Key Measurements

We don’t guess – we go by your cover. For a tapered cushion insert to fit properly, measure the empty cover only and record the following four dimensions:

1️⃣ Front Width – Measure the widest edge of the cover, seam to seam.
2️⃣ Back Width – Measure the narrowest back edge, seam to seam.
3️⃣ Depth – Measure from front to back through the centre (not along the angle).
4️⃣ Border (Thickness) – Measure the depth of the cushion’s side panel or “wall”.

📝 Ignore piping or decorative trims. Just follow the stitched seams.


🎯 Why These Measurements Matter

We build every Feather Seat Cushions (Equal Sided Taper) insert to your exact shape. Internally, we add feather baffles (compartments) aligned from front to back — this keeps the fill evenly distributed and stops it from sliding into the corners. That’s why the depth measurement is crucial — it tells us how to orientate the baffles.

The border depth determines how much feather fill is needed to get that full, structured seat without sagging.


🪶 Custom Feather-Filled Tapered Cushions

Perfect for:

  • Bay windows & window seats

  • Built-in dining benches

  • Campervan or boat seating

  • Alcoves or angled joinery

We fill firmer for seats, lighter for backs — all done by hand to match your measurements and comfort needs. Choose from various feather blends to suit your budget.


⚠️ Important: Feather Cushions Aren’t Hypoallergenic

Feather inserts may not be suitable for allergy sufferers. Prefer a low-allergy option? Our fibre-filled tapered cushions offer excellent loft and bounce without the sniffles.


🧼 Caring for Feather Cushions

  • Fluff Daily – Keeps them full and comfortable

  • Shake Vigorously – Redistributes the fill

  • Rotate Often – For even wear

  • Avoid Moisture – Dry fully if they get wet

  • Spot Clean Only – Mild detergent, full air-dry

💡 Use protective covers to guard against spills and dirt – it’ll prolong the life of your cushion.
