Our Standard: Full-Length Zips

At Cushion House Australia, we don’t cut corners.

All of our cushions come with full-length zips as standard.

This means the zip runs along the entire back edge of the cushion, allowing the cover to open wide so the foam insert can be removed easily.

We also use high-quality foam inserts that are designed to hold their shape and work seamlessly with removable covers.

Larger Cushions: 3-Sided Zip Design

For larger cushions, we go one step further.

We install zips that run around three sides of the cushion, allowing the cover to open almost completely flat.

This style is ideal for outdoor cushions, where durability and easy removal are essential due to weather exposure.
