With everyone at home right now, it’s important to make sure your space is comfortable. This is so you can relax, even while working, and allow your body to rest. Here at Homescapes, we’ve put together a guide of just some of the best support cushions we offer. Some will keep you comfortable whilst sitting on the sofa or in an armchair, while others are designed to make your nine-to-five job pass without discomfort.
How to Use Support Cushions at Home
Knowing how to use a support cushion is the first hurdle to easing your discomfort when sitting at your desk, or even on the sofa. However, how you use the cushion will depend on the type of support you need. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about the Homescapes support range.
The Armchair Booster Cushion
One way to ensure you are comfortable while sitting in your armchair or sofa is a booster cushion. Homescapes 100% cotton armchair boosters are fully supportive and provide lasting comfort when sitting and help you stand with ease. Adding 10cm of height to your armchair can relieve the pain on pressure points when sitting for long periods of time. These exclusively designed cushions are ideal for the elderly, those recovering from surgery, or those suffering chronic pain.
Sitting in a chair all day can start off comfortable but the less you move, the more restless you become. If you’re uncomfortable in your chair, chances are you’re slouching thus, damaging your back. Booster cushions can help lift the tail bone and by doing so will encourage the spine to straighten. Easy to use and generously filled these booster cushions are great for helping you sit and stand. Chair support cushions for the elderly can also be used elsewhere such as a dining room chair or in the garden.
💡Top Tip: Want a booster cushion but not a fan of the cover? You can DIY your own cover with our range of high-quality fabric, available from as little as £5.99 per metre.
The Two-Seater Support Cushion
To complement this range is our collection of two-seater sofa cushions. Designed specifically for sofa support these are perfect for households with two people who suffer pain when sitting. Measuring 100cm in length, this cushion is ideal for smaller sofas to provide extra height to those which are generally quite low.
All of our two seater support cushions are available in a range of on-trend colours. For example, our pink cushion looks great paired with a sage green or navy blue. Versatile enough to work well in a children’s nursery or even a book corner, booster cushions are a unique yet necessary addition to any home.
The Lumbar Support Cushion
Our lumbar support cushion is very similar to orthopaedic cushions and helps support the lower back and hips, while working to ensure lasting comfort. These specialised cushions are encased within soft cotton or faux suede, generously filled and you can use them in virtually any chair. For example, does your job involve sitting at a desk all day? Then you may be in danger of developing lower back pain or even numbness.
These stylish and soft cushions can help provide comfortable lumbar support, to prevent pain when sitting throughout the day. Designed for lasting support this cushion is available in a range of colours and fabrics, and looks stylish paired with your interior furniture.
V-Shaped Pillow
Providing orthopaedic support, our V-shaped pillow is built to surround you in comfort and ensure you’re fully supported in bed. Generously filled with super microfibre, this pillow is ideal to keep you comfy and ensure you get a restful night’s sleep.
V-shaped pillows also help relieve back pain. As the top supports the neck, the sides cradle the back thus keeping the spine aligned and relieving any pain. V-shaped pillows are also ideal for nursing mothers and for those recovering from surgery. Available from £14.99 all of our supportive cushions are designed specifically for lasting comfort.
💡 Did You Know: Homescapes offers 34 different pillowcases for V-shaped pillows. These are made from the finest Egyptian cotton, and are available in different thread counts and colours. Just search ‘V shaped’ on our website to bring up your options!
The Reading Pillow
A stylish addition to the range, the Homescapes reading cushion has been generously filled with shredded memory foam. This memory foam will form to your back, allowing for tailored support when sitting in a chair or on the floor. For this reason, we advise not sharing the reading cushion with another, and instead to get one for each household member. This will allow the memory foam to remain tailored to you, giving you the maximum benefits.
All reading cushions come in three sizes: standard, large and extra large. With three colours to choose from, and a detachable headrest for the extra large size, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
Equipped with a convenient carry handle, it allows for you to take the comfort wherever you go. However, these cushions are not to be used while driving.
