The foam provides the support and lines up with the seams in the depth, width and boxing of the cushion. Foam is cut with a straight blade and is perfectly flat on all sides. It is difficult to have a cover be tight and wrinkle-free on a flat surface. To aid in the fit and to soften the appearance of the foam, we wrap it with polyester (and down/feather, but that is for another entry). The polyester pushes out against the cover which tightens it and eliminates wrinkles. Below is a discussion of two types of polyester wrap.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #1a1a18; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px;">

</span></p> <p style="color: #1a1a18; font: 12px Helvetica; margin: 0px;">With use, all foam gets softer and all polyester flattens. High Density foam, which is available in five levels of firmness, resists softening the best. The best option for wrapping the foam is with Dacron. It's springy fiber stays fluffy and resists flattening best out of all the polyester battings. To hold everything in place we make a muslin lined jacket out of the Dacron and the foam core fits inside. The jacket is closed with a zipper at the back.</p><p style="color: #1a1a18; font: 12px Helvetica; margin: 0px;">

</b></p> <p style="color: #1a1a18; font: 12px Helvetica; margin: 0px;">Bonded polyester is the easiest, quickest batting to work with. It is cut to size and glued to the surface of the foam. Bonded polyester has the least amount of resiliency and will flatten the quickest. We have 4 different weights (thicknesses) of bonded polyester to choose from: 1/2 oz. , 3/4 oz., & 1 1/4 oz.</p><div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
Recently the artist Amy Trachtenberg has been digging her way through our mountains of foam scraps and retired cushions. For weeks she's hauled away bags and bags of materials. She said that the sculpture had to go higher, that the ceiling at the gallery needed to be reached. We couldn't imagine what she was making. Finally the monumental sculpture will be revealed at her new show titled <a href="http://www.luggagestoregallery.org/2019/04/amy-trachtenberg/" target="_blank">Covered in Sky</a> going up this weekend at the at the <a href="http://www.luggagestoregallery.org/" target="_blank">Luggage Store</a> (June 14 through July 13, 2019). We deal with piles of used cushion foam daily and it is as an ongoing challenge to keep it from swallowing up our work area. We cut it up, bag it and send it off to be recycled into carpet padding. Seeing how the the materials are reconfigured by Amy gives them a magical, if maybe a little ominous, presence.</div>

One of our favorite rooms at this year's <a href="https://decoratorshowcase.org/" target="_blank">San Francisco Decorator Showcase</a> was the gorgeous Wo-Man Cave designed by <a href="https://www.kellyhohlainteriors.com/" target="_blank">Kelly Hola Interiors</a> (photos by <a href="https://www.johnmerkl.com/" target="_blank">John Merkl</a>). Our eyes were naturally drawn to the array of beautiful pillows which were fabricated by the always amazing <a href="https://www.leonginteriors.com/" target="_blank">Leong Interiors</a> (with inserts by Cushion Works, naturally). This room was previously a storage space for chairs and bric-a-brac from the neighboring ballroom. The transformation to elegant Wo-Man Cave was amazing.</div>

It's time to recycle all of the old cushion foam and off cuts. These bags contain cut down foam that will go to the foam plant to be shredded, re-bonded, and sliced to make carpet pad. </div>

We were recently presented with some very pretty round covers with a knife edge (knife edge is two pieces of fabric sewn together, like a bed pillow) and asked to make very firm inserts so that the client could use them as floor cushions. Unlike a sofa cushion which has a boxing panel sewn in which allows for the blockiness of a foam core, a knife edge seam doesn't fit a foam insert. Our solution was to shave down the edge of the foam to make it sharp which will neatly fit with the cover's seam. We then wrapped the foam with polyester which softens further the shape of the foam and takes the slack out of the fabric, tightening it and removing wrinkles. Once the inserts are installed in the covers, a full, firm insert is ready for the home.<br />

We just provided a client with 7,000 pieces of die cut foam to be used in packaging their liquid filled flasks for shipping. They needed a charcoal gray foam that would have 12 round holes that went all the way through the foam. We had a sample made for approval, made a slight adjustment on the diameter of the hole and put the job into production. The pieces were delivered and the product was received in time for Holiday shipping.<br />

As long as we are recommending favorite publications, we also cannot get enough of <a href="http://www.apartamentomagazine.com/" target="_blank">Apartamento</a>. What's in it you ask? What ISN'T in it we reply. Anything goes in this magazine, from Picasso and Gary Panter's home studios (no, they didn't live together) to a gorgeous painted essay by Jean-Phillipe Delhomme. We like it that the editorial approach isn't about perfect spaces that are designed for the photographic team that arrived the day after everything was installed, but rather these are real lived in spaces that are reflective of the personalities of the owners and are often, thankfully, a bit messy.<br />

Most furniture ships with back cushions filled with either polyester or a down/feather blend and sometimes with down/feather blended with polyester. With normal use the polyester filled inserts will start to show wear and begin to sag.<br />
<br />
We were recently brought some sagging fiber/down filled backs. Fiber/down is the filling that blends down/feather with polyester. Although down/feather on it's own is fluffable, once it's blended with polyester it gets tangled in the poly fibers and as the batting wads up and flattens, so too does the down/feather. These cushions had lost their fullness, were drooping severely and provided no support (the picture below says it all) for their owners.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAcBZpdkaIs7-QSoLKu-k-654ovkcyGzz8qGa7ZUl-Nabx-uPR66VSvwSve0fuJKE27RUmVMyREXVEClFFHLm7ijmVDybC6LF62gJ7TCHVhE4Mz4Dqfqj37TjYzlT41-kg83bZHVuhX70/s1600/Fiber+Down+262.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAcBZpdkaIs7-QSoLKu-k-654ovkcyGzz8qGa7ZUl-Nabx-uPR66VSvwSve0fuJKE27RUmVMyREXVEClFFHLm7ijmVDybC6LF62gJ7TCHVhE4Mz4Dqfqj37TjYzlT41-kg83bZHVuhX70/s640/Fiber+Down+262.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
We emptied the backs of the fiber/down filling, as you can see it comes out in ropey bands of wadded up polyester and feathers.<br />
<br />

<br />
After emptying the tick, we refilled it with Cluster Fiber, making the insert very firm, supportive and full. <br />

By the way, we never mix down/feather with polyester. Either we make a polyester filled cushion which is firm, or a down/feather cushion which is fluffable, or a foam core poly</div>

Not only is the house original and cool, we got to contribute to it as well by making the cushion inserts for the benches. The covers were expertly made by <a href="http://weatherillinteriors.com/" target="_blank">Catlin Weatherill</a>, who tailored all the unique angles that were part of Jay's design. We would love to hang out in this tree house and listen to Peter Rabbit on the phonograph all day.<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">We frequently have customers who are looking for very special pillows. They are the jewelry that completes the outfit so to speak. The covers are exquisite fabrics and trims that may evoke another time or place in personal history, or be the splash of color that ties everything together. </span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;">The common ground for these gems is the blend of down and feather that we manufacture to support the cover. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: -webkit-auto;">We recently discovered these beautifully rendered pen and ink drawings of down pillows that were made by the 22 year old Albert Dürer in 1493. We are delighted to see that nothing really has changed in the look of the down pillow, and that the pillows we make today, with a little use, look just like the pillows of 500 years ago.</span></div>

These pictures make a strong case for making one long cushion for a window or bench seat instead of breaking the space up with 2 or 3 (or more!) cushions. </div>

An interesting choice was made to have the cushions come up short in width to allow the bolster to rest inside the space between the cushion and the wall. </div>

The covers for this beautiful window seat were sewn by Lauren of <a href="http://www.idalauren.com/" target="_blank">Ida Lauren Designs</a>. Cushion Works made the cushion and pillow forms that are inside of the covers. <br />

The pillow covers have a strong graphic pattern and were cut <a href="http://cushionworks.blogspot.com/2011/10/knife-edge-pillows-crown-allowance-vs.html" target="_blank">straight</a> to allow for Lauren's great pattern matching at the seams. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The seat cushion's thickness was sized to fit snugly underneath the window trims. We used a firm foam core with a polyester wrap on top and bottom which makes the cushion reversible.</div>
