BACK PILLOW OPTIONS

Blown Back

Our standard back pillow has blown fiber.


Firm Back

Extra padding adds more support. With the Firm back option, you are choosing extra padding in a style with a loose back. A Firm back matched with the Firm cushion allows uniform support on the style.


Ultra-Soft Back

For inviting, extra plush comfort. The Ultra-Soft blend is 5% down, 50% fiber, and 45% feathers. An Ultra-Soft back matched with a specialty cushion, Spring Micro-Down or Comfort Down, provides universal seating comfort.

Foam Seat Cushions

Consumers can upgrade the standard cushion to one of the “Firm” Foam cushions at no extra charge.

Each and every cushion will sit exactly alike. It will keep its resilience as it is compressed, which allows “getting into” the cushion. Because of the superior quality of Qualux®, we offer a limited lifetime warranty on our cushions.
