How do I choose cushion inserts?

Whether you are looking for an insert for a new cushion cover or looking to replace an old one that has lost its shape, we have cushion inserts to fit a wide range of covers and cushions at Spotlight. The most important thing to consider when you are choosing your insert is the shape and the size that you will require. Measure your cover horizontally and vertically to determine the size dimensions that you will need. When you are choosing cushion inserts, it is often advised to go up in size. For example, if you are shopping for a cushion cover that is 18'', a 20'' cushion insert will ensure a full and plump finish.

Can I use these to make my own cushions?

Of course, you can! Cushions are a great sewing project, and they are ideal for beginners and experts alike. First of all, measure your cushion inset, adding two cm to both the length and the width to allow for seam allowance. Then using a ruler and dressmaker's chalk pencil, mark this area out on your fabric twice and cut using pinking shears. You will now have a front and a back of your cushion, and pin this in place. If you are using a sewing machine, it will be quick and easy to sew up the three sides, insert your cushion cover and then hand-stitch the opening.

Consider the fastening that you would prefer, with zips being better suited to the more proficient seamstress, but you also use a button and buttonhole or snap fastenings. Alternatively, you could sew up all four of the sides - however, this means that you will not be able to remove the insert to wash it. Don't forget - find your thread, fabrics, needles, and embellishments at Spotlight, your one stop shop for all your haberdashery needs.

How should I clean and care for my cushion inserts?

Well, that does depend on which of our cushion inserts you have chosen, and we always recommend that you read the manufacturer's care instructions before you begin. Some of our cushion inserts can be hand washed but ensure that you only use warm water and you do not twist or wring your insert at any time. It is important to make sure that your insert has been rinsed fully, and dried thoroughly before you put the cover back on. Finally, do not tumble dry your cushion insert and always avoid the use of any harsh chemicals, including chlorine and bleach.
