Floor cushions are trending again, and this time they’re not just for kids! Floor cushions, or floor pillows as some people may refer to them, are more than just oversized pillows on the floor with no purpose or use. Floor cushions can be functional and handy decoration pieces for any indoor or outdoor living space. With more creative custom cushion options available, you can truly make any custom floor cushion or floor pillow you desire. Here are six fun and inventive ways of reimagining your floor cushions. Remember, it all starts with thinking outside the box and having an open mind to a simple, yet humble design that has been around for centuries.
A Floor Cushion is a Great Travel Partner
If you love watching from the sidelines as your children play sports or you just love going to the park to picnic or relax with a great book, floor cushions are a perfect way to comfortably relish these outings. Outdoor floor cushions give you amazing options to go on those excursions because Cushion Source offers a huge outdoor fabric selection, which makes these a friend to the elements. You can choose from hundreds of outdoor fabrics that are made to stand up to sunny or rainy weather, plus provide the reassurance that tossing your cushion on the grass, sand, or concrete will not be a disastrous mistake.
A Floor Cushion Invites Your Guests to Relax
Classic floor pillows are often just giant throw pillows that are used to add an immediate pop of color in any indoor living space. Floor cushions and pillows can also make a soft landing for guests in spaces that may otherwise be too small for conventional seating arrangement. If you have a small space and you are looking to maximize your seating space for your next get together, floor cushions are an easy win! You can easily stow floor pillows away in a closet, under a bed, or leave them out for color and decorative purposes. Giant floor pillows can create comfy seating for your next book club, bible study, or gathering around the TV for family movie night. And don’t forget all the holiday parties that are just around the corner. You will want your home to be ready for visits from family and friends. Floor pillows and floor cushions just make those unexpected times easier to handle with less stress.
Floor Cushions can Become Sleepers
What child hasn’t gone to a friend’s house only to find that later in the day they are calling mom to ask if they could spend the night? Our kids love to be spontaneous and unstructured in their decisions, but as a parent, you can be relieved knowing that you dropped them off with their handy traveling floor cushion to sleep on. Parents, these are great instant sleepers that will have all your friends wanting one for their child. The best part about custom floor cushions, is that they are exactly that – custom! Simply enter in your dimensions and create the perfect floor sleeper for your child. The carrying handle makes it easy to transport. Your child will also love the fact that they can customize the colors and fabrics that they love. Not to mention the option of using your own material to make it even more unique and special!
Floor Cushions are a Pet’s Dream
It wasn’t long after I got my giant floor pillow that my dog decided he wanted in on this heavenly cushion comfort himself. I realized that our furry friends know what they like just as well as we humans, so it’s only obvious that these huge floor pillows are a necessity for pets. Floor cushions make excellent pet beds for any area of the home. In fact, these are perfect on patios and hardwood floors, so even those aging, feeble animals in our lives can find a little refuge and relief. Outdoor fabrics such as Sunbrella, Tempotest, and Outdura are made to resist moisture or spills, so we recommend choosing these high-performance fabrics for your pet’s floor cushion.
Floor Cushions Create Instant Reading Nooks
With so many of us forced into the digital world, it can be a major effort to put down the cell phone and pick up an actual book to read and have your mind transported to another world. If you have ever watched children make a fort in the living room with throw pillows and blankets, think of your floor cushions as a way of constructing this same type of space. We all have small nooks and hidden alcoves in our homes that can be treasured little areas. These are the perfect resting zones for lots of floor cushions and floor pillows. Let’s admit it, there’s just something childlike about taking refuge in a corner space where you can steal some time away and focus on a good book.
