Thanks for Your Purchase! Here's How to Get the Most Out of Your New Cushions

Congratulations on your new latex foam cushions! To get the best experience, we’ve put together some tips on unboxing, care, and a few things to know about your new cushions.

Unboxing & Breaking In Your New Cushions

Do you see a crease in your new cushions? That means they haven’t broken in yet. Just like a pair of fine Italian leather dress shoes, your new cushions require a breaking-in period. 

Here’s how to break them in: Simply sit on them!

About 14 hours of regular sitting will help them fully expand to their intended size and shape.

Want to speed things up? Here’s a faster method, 3 easy steps, takes about 3 minutes:

Step One: Tug the corners in opposite directions.

Step Two: Massage the foam into any creases.

Step Three: Pat the cushion firmly.

Placement Tips:

• Sizing: The cushions will feel comfortable and look appealing if they are ±2” of your seat size
• Seat cushions: When tying your cushion onto your chair, be sure to center it on the seat—don’t pull it all the way back
• Rocker back cushions: Tie all four rocker back ties to the rocking chair back.  Don’t leave the back cushion tied to the seat cushion. 
• Rocker headrest cushion: Feed the rocker back cushion ties through the headrest pillow loops. Then tie the rocker back cushion to the chair. Don’t try to hang the loops from the rocker.
• Slipping: If the cushion moves more than you'd like, try slipping a piece of gripper shelf liner or rug liner underneath to keep it steady.

About Those Law Tags

You might notice some tags sewn into the seams of your cushion. These are law tags, and they’re required by both state and federal regulations.

• Thinking about a return? Please don’t remove the tags until you’re sure you’ll be keeping the cushions -Due to state and federal regulations, we cannot accept returns of cushions if the tags have been removed.
• To remove the tags:
• The paper care label tears right off, save it for future reference, it has your care instructions on it!
• For the tyvek law tag: Use scissors to carefully trim the tag as close to the seam as you can without cutting the cushion, then push the remaining bits inside the seam with something small such as a bobby pin.

Cushion Care Tips

Most of our cushions are INDOOR ONLY.  If you would like to use Barnett Cushions on the porch or patio, please select cushions with INDOOR/OUTDOOR in the product title or on the care label.

Most of our cushions are machine washable.  Please check the care tag on your cushion to confirm if it is machine washable, hand-wash only, or spot-clean only. Before washing, please see our full Care Instructions.
