Passionate about home comfort since 2020
Best Cushions Australia was born from a simple frustration: trying to find quality cushions online without being able to touch or test them first. Back in 2020, our founder Sarah Mitchell spent weeks researching throw pillows for her Melbourne apartment, reading countless reviews, and ordering multiple products that simply didn't live up to their descriptions. The fabrics felt cheap, the filling went flat within weeks, and the colours looked nothing like the photos.
That experience sparked an idea: what if there was a trusted Australian resource that actually tested cushions, understood the nuances between polyester fill and memory foam, knew which outdoor fabrics could handle Queensland's harsh UV rays, and could explain why some velvet cushion covers feel luxurious while others feel plasticky?
Today, Best Cushions Australia has grown into a small but dedicated team of home comfort enthusiasts, interior styling hobbyists, and textile nerds. We've personally sat on, squeezed, washed, and lived with hundreds of cushions to bring you honest, detailed guidance. We understand the difference between duck down and synthetic down alternatives, know why GSM (grams per square metre) matters for cushion covers, and can tell you exactly which lumbar support cushions actually help with lower back pain during long work-from-home sessions.
Our mission goes beyond simply recommending products. We want to educate Australian consumers about what makes a quality cushion, how to care for different materials, and how to choose pieces that will genuinely improve their daily comfort. Whether you're furnishing your first apartment, upgrading your outdoor entertaining area, or searching for the perfect meditation zabuton, we're here to help you make informed decisions.
We're proudly independent and Australian-owned. While we do earn commissions through affiliate partnerships when you purchase products we recommend, this never influences our reviews or rankings. We only recommend cushions we would genuinely use in our own homes, and we're transparent about the limitations of products that might not suit everyone's needs.
Thank you for trusting Best Cushions Australia as your guide to home comfort. We're honoured to be part of your journey to creating a cosier, more comfortable living space.
Our small team brings together diverse expertise in interior design, textile science, and consumer advocacy. Each team member is genuinely passionate about home comfort and committed to providing you with trustworthy guidance.
