Where will your cushions sit?
Choose the room setting and the look you would like. We’ll suggest a balanced starting point.
This is styling guidance rather than a fixed rule. Furniture proportions and personal preference will always shape the final arrangement.
Core cushion sizes
Small details. Different proportions.
Cases are measured seam to seam across the empty cover. Handmade measurements are approximate.
For a smaller seat
The everyday all-rounder18” / 45cm
The everyday all-rounder for sofas and beds, with enough presence to work alone or in a set.
For generous impact20” / 50cm
A generous scale for larger sofas and beds. Use as a pair of statement pieces or one centred on a bed.
Find your perfect cushion inner
The right size. The right feel.
Your inner affects the cushion’s softness, structure and finished fullness.
Essential or Handmade?Essential Inners are ready-made in standard hollow-fibre or feather sizes and are supplied 2” larger than the case. Cluster fibre, feather and sheep-wool Handmade Inners are made to the required size and are normally supplied 1” larger.
Choosing your set
From one accent
to a complete room.
A good arrangement feels collected rather than overly matched. Repeat one or two colours, vary the scale of pattern and keep enough space for the furniture to remain comfortable.
Single
A focal point for a chair, or one generous cushion centred on a bed.
Pair
A calm, symmetrical finish for a sofa, bench or pair of chairs.
Our most versatile set
Set of Three
Two foundations and one contrast create natural depth without crowding.
House Set of Five
A fuller estate-room arrangement for a generous sofa, window seat or bed.
Interior styling notes
A considered arrangement
Build from the back
Place the largest cushions first to create structure, then layer smaller pieces in front.
Connect, don’t match
Repeat one or two colours, but mix plain, patterned and textured fabrics for a collected feel.
Vary the pattern scale
Pair a larger motif with a smaller check, stripe or quiet plain so each fabric has room to breathe.
Keep it comfortable
Beautiful rooms still need to be lived in. Leave enough usable space and plump cushions regularly.
Bespoke & interior enquiries
Unusual size, shape
or larger quantity?
For bespoke cushion inners, send the empty case measurements taken seam to seam, your preferred filling, quantity and any preference for softness, weight or support.
As a guide, bespoke Handmade Inners are usually made approximately 1” / 2.5cm larger in each direction. Allow approximately 7–10 working days; delivery charges apply.

Useful things to know
Are cushion cases supplied with an inner?
No. Berry & Grouse cushion cases are sold without an inner so you can choose the filling, size and finished feel that best suits the room.
How are cushion cases measured?
Measure the empty cover seam to seam across the front. Piping can make the visible face appear slightly smaller. Handmade measurements are approximate.
Which filling holds its shape best?
Sheep wool offers the firmest structure and strongest shape retention. MicroCluster fibre also recovers well, while feather gives a softer finish and needs regular plumping.
Will cases and inners arrive together?
They may be dispatched separately, particularly when Handmade or bespoke inners form part of the order. No additional delivery is charged unless a separate delivery was specifically requested.
Can bespoke inners be returned?
Bespoke inners made to confirmed measurements or specifications cannot normally be returned for a change of mind. This does not affect your rights if an item is faulty, damaged or not made as agreed.
