Buy Cushions for Australian Homes
What cushions suit Australian homes?
The right cushion depends on your climate and space. Linen and cotton suit warmer regions like Brisbane, Darwin and the Gold Coast. Velvet works best through the cooler months in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. A combination of 55x55 cm square and 40x60 cm rectangular cushions, layered using the 3-2-1 method, works well across almost every sofa style. Shopica cushions start from $77 and include a premium duck feather insert with every purchase.
The Fastest Way to Change How a Room Feels
New cushions are one of the highest-impact changes you can make to a room for under $100. The right combination transforms a sofa that looks tired into one that looks intentional. A styled bed goes from functional to finished. A reading chair becomes somewhere people actually want to sit.
All orders ship from our Sydney warehouse with tracked delivery Australia-wide. Duck feather inserts included. Free returns within 30 days.

How to Style Cushions the Right Way
Cushion clutter is a common problem. Pieces look appealing on screen but feel awkward once placed on the sofa. The fix comes down to a simple method used by Australian interior stylists.
Step 1
The Anchor Layer
Three cushions in one core colour at the back. White cushions are the go-to starting point for most sofa styles.
Step 2
The Texture Layer
Two cushions in a secondary texture or pattern placed in front. This adds visual depth without pulling the arrangement apart.
Step 3
The Accent Piece
One cushion at the very front. Swap it each season to refresh the room without replacing the full set. Golden cushions work well for a warm autumn update.

This system works across every room and budget. Change one accent cover and the whole sofa feels different.
Linen, Cotton and Velvet
Cushion Materials and What Each One Does
Every fabric in this collection is chosen to work with the timber, stone and neutral tones common in Australian interiors.
Linen
Linen Cushions
Relaxed, breathable and naturally textured, linen creates an airy, relaxed feel in living rooms and bedrooms. Hypoallergenic, ideal for warmer climates like Brisbane, Darwin and the Gold Coast, and grows softer with every wash.

Cotton Cushions
A practical, durable choice for high-traffic rooms. Easy to care for and available in the widest range of colours and prints. Most cotton covers are machine washable, making them a reliable option for homes with children and pets.
Velvet
Velvet Cushions
Rich, light-catching and immediately luxurious, velvet makes sofas feel cocooning and cosy on cool evenings. In high demand through the cooler months in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. Pairs well with linen for a layered, season-ready look.

Duck Feather Inserts and Getting the Size Right
The majority of cushions sold online use polyester filling. It is cheaper, but that is why so many cushions flatten out within months. Every Shopica cushion comes with a premium duck feather insert included. They contour to the body, bounce back after use and hold their shape in a way polyester simply cannot.
Getting the size right makes a real difference to how the room looks. It is one of the most common mistakes when buying cushions online.
55 x 55 cm
Works across almost every sofa style. Best as the anchor cushion at the back.
50 x 50 cm
Standard layering size. Works well on compact sofas and sectionals.
40 x 60 cm
Rectangular for lumbar support and contrast. A designer favourite for the front layer.
| Size | Best use | Placement | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 55 x 55 cm | Sofas and armchairs | Back anchor layer | Works across almost every sofa style. |
| 50 x 50 cm | Compact sofas, sectionals | Middle layer | Standard size for layering arrangements. |
| 40 x 60 cm | Lumbar support, contrast | Front layer | Designer favourite. Rectangular shape adds contrast. |
Living Room, Bedroom and Beyond
Cushions for Every Room
Living Room
The right cushions make a living room feel welcoming for guests and relaxing at the end of the day. Use three to five sofa cushions on a standard three-seater. Two large squares at each end, two medium cushions in a contrasting texture, one rectangular cushion at the front. Add a throw over the armrest. Odd numbers always look more relaxed.
Bedroom
Layer from back to front. European pillows against the bedhead, sleeping pillows in the middle, two to three decorative cushions in graduating sizes at the front. A queen bed suits four to six cushions. A king suits six to eight. Browse our beds and bedside tables for the full bedroom look.
Reading Nook
One large cushion for lower back support and one smaller scatter cushion on the armrest. If you have an egg chair, browse our egg chair cushions for a tailored fit. A table lamp beside the chair finishes the corner.
Care Guide
How to Care for Your Cushions
| Fabric | Washing | Sun tolerance | Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Linen | Cold gentle machine wash, line dry in shade | Moderate, avoid direct midday sun | Iron while damp for a crisp finish, or leave natural |
| Cotton | Standard machine wash, warm or cold tumble dry | High resistance to sunlight | Wash inside out to protect print and weave |
| Velvet | Dry clean recommended, or spot clean | Low, direct sun fades the pile | Brush gently with a soft bristle brush to restore loft |
