The Fill That Actually Holds Its Shape
Why choose duck feather over polyester?
Duck feather compresses under body weight and springs back within seconds, so a cushion keeps its shape for years instead of months. Polyester fill does the opposite, it flattens permanently and never fully recovers. Every cushion in this collection uses a premium duck feather insert as standard, so you get the fill without having to source it separately. Prices start from $85.
The Fill Most People Never Think to Check
Most people choose a cushion by colour and only notice the fill once it's gone flat. Duck feather contours to the body on first use, then bounces back the moment you stand up. That's the difference between a cushion that still looks styled after a year and one that needs replacing every few months.

What Actually Changes Between Fills
| Property | Duck Feather | Polyester |
|---|---|---|
| Recovery | Springs back within seconds | Stays compressed after use |
| Lifespan | Multiple years with regular plumping | Flattens permanently within months |
| Feel | Contours to the body | Holds a fixed, uniform shape |
Where It Matters Most
The Fill Matters More on Some Furniture Than Others
A cushion you glance at needs less from its fill than one you actually sit in for hours. Here's where duck feather earns its price.
Egg Chairs
You settle into an egg chair for long stretches, which flattens polyester fast. See our egg chair cushions for a tailored fit.
Sofas
A sofa cushion is sat against dozens of times a day. Browse sofa cushions built around this fill.
Beds
Decorative bed cushions are handled daily when making the bed. Feather fill keeps its shape through that handling far longer.
Keeping It Plump
How to Look After a Feather Insert
Feather inserts need almost no maintenance, but a couple of habits keep them performing at their best for longer.
Plumping Tip
Give the cushion a firm shake and a few solid punches once a week to redistribute the fill and stop it settling to one corner. It takes seconds and keeps the loft even.
Because the insert arrives compressed for shipping, it can look flatter than usual straight out of the box. A few good shakes brings it back to full loft within a day.
Getting It to You
Delivery for Feather-Filled Cushions
Feather inserts ship compressed inside a vacuum-sealed cover to protect them in transit, so expect the cushion to feel firm on arrival and plump up properly within a day of unpacking. Orders leave our Sydney warehouse on the next business day and reach Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth in three to seven business days.
If the loft still feels off after plumping, you're covered by a 30-day return. Read our shipping policy and returns policy for full details.
