Conservatory Foam Cushions

Cushions in general receive a lot of wear and conservatory foam cushions in particular can soon look worn and faded. Rather than spend a fortune on new furniture, a great way to revitalise and bring your conservatory up to date is to replace the cushions. Rattan and cane furniture are versatile and hard wearing and can be transformed by different designs of cushions. You may wish to replace seat cushions only, but back cushions are just as easily replaced or updated. Commercial covers are widely available, so it is easy to make your own using covers and use foam cut to size from F.C. Hancox.

F.C Hancox has approaching sixty years’ experience in foam cut to size and seating cushions are a very popular order. A great choice, and one that we would recommend for conservatory foam cushions, is our Reflex range. This range offers foams that are hard wearing, offering comfort and support without being too soft. We have four Reflex foams in our range, so depending upon whether you want a firm or soft cushion, high resilience or firm this will inform your choice. There are brief descriptions of each in the ‘Foam Types’ section of the website.

Whether you choose new covers or are using existing covers, take time to ensure you measure the old foam precisely and if the old foam has compacted or become crushed, take this into consideration. Once you have your measurements, you can easily check the price of the foam using the ‘Foam cut to size’ tab; simply add the dimensions, select the foam and our competitive price will be shown.

If you are at all unsure when measuring or selecting foam for conservatory foam cushions, why not give us a call and we’ll be happy to help.
