When buying linen cushions, pay attention to their touch and avoid choosing linen fabrics that are improperly treated and have a harder texture.

Waterfowl feathers, which we often call down, are the most common of which duck down and goose down.

Grasping the filling method and quantity
Filling method. The filling methods of cushions are mainly divided into machine filling and manual filling. The filling of machine-filled cushions is relatively evenly distributed and has a high fluffiness. The quality of hand-filled cushions may vary. Consumers are reminded that the fillings of low-priced cushions on the market may have safety hazards, such as black-hearted cotton, which is directly related to our physical health. Therefore, be careful when purchasing to avoid damaging your health due to greed for cheapness.

Control of the filling amount. The more filling material of the cushion, the better. Excessive filling will make the cushion hard, reduce elasticity, and even produce a feeling of tightness and discomfort, especially when used on the waist. Therefore, cushions of different sizes have their own specific filling specifications, and too much or too little will not be conducive to the user experience.
