Ok, we admit it. We love a good fairy tale at Willow & Hall HQ. I mean, what's not to enjoy? The magic and the mystery, the triumph of good over evil, the dreamy interior styling (just check out this amazing Pinterest board for inspiration) but if there's two things above all that fairy tales have taught us; it's the importance of finding your perfect fit and not to compromise when it comes to comfort. After all, it took Goldilocks three attempts to find a chair that was just right.

That's why at Willow & Hall we offer a choice of seat cushion fillers on select sofa bed, sofa and armchair styles, to help you find the perfect pairing for your particular preference; whether you want to sink into a cloud-like cocoon at the end of a long working day or just be better supported. And because we understand that terms like "hollow fibre" and "foam" don't sound especially sexy or inspiring, here's a quick overview to give you the low down on what the key differences are, to help you ensure your bottom always gets the best seat in the house.

Option 1: Foam and Fibre

Erring on the firmer side, these seats will hold their shape and are ideal if you like a more supportive surface to sit on. Because they're less squishy than their softer cousins, they're light on TLC too, only needing to be turned every 2-3 months to keep them in prime condition.

Option 2: Siliconized Hollow Fibre

If you like a soft landing this is the seat style for you. We won't bore you with the science, but suffice to say the way the fibres are assembled gives these cushions a lovely relaxed feel. That said, they need a little bit more maintenance to keep them looking fresh, but a proper plump after every use and a real good shakedown once a month is all it takes.

Mystery Option Number 3

We can't say too much on this right now but in the summer we'll be adding a third seat option to our offer. Like the siliconized hollow fibre, these will also be gorgeously soft, with a little bit of extra fluffiness to set them apart. More to come on this exciting new addition soon.
