Eco Friendly Cushions for the Home

If you want to give new life to your lounge, bed or favourite chair, try swapping the cushions for these new eco friendly alternatives. Adding a different splash of colour or quirky design will refresh any tired looking furniture or rooms. What could be more eco friendly and cost efficient?



Ampersand Pillow - Alexandra Ferguson

Hand made Westchester County, NY
Recycled felt from plastic water bottles
Classic black and white is so simple yet so classy. This would look great in a modern, chic Parisien style apartment!
Purchase online at Etsy (Alexandra Ferguson) for US$65




Seatbelt Cushion - Ting

Made in the UK
I was impressed when I learned about English Retreads making gorgeous bags with recycled inner tubes and now I see the UK based Ting are making amazing cushions from end of line, reclaimed seatbelts! People sure are creative with car parts (I even saw a clock made from a hub cap today on Etsy).
Purchase online at By Nature for £27 (was £45)




Little Modern Birds Square - Chakra Pennywhistle

Handmade in Tucson
Hand drawn, made from organic cotton twill, stuffed with raw organic cotton and even sewn with organic cotton thread. It's an organic overload and I love it!
Purchase at Etsy (Chakra Pennywhistle) for US$50




Mokimoe Organic Cushion

Made in the UK
Organic cotton and hemp
This bright cushion is ideal for spring with it's vibrant pink colour and flowery style. It is filled with organic wool balls and printed with eco-friendly inks. Also available in yellow and blue.
Purchase online at Ecocentric for £69





Money Bag Pillow - Chakra Pennywhistle

Handmade in Tucson
This vintage money bag has been recycled into a quirky cushion that is sure to be a conversational piece. Unfortunately there is no money inside but you will find raw organic cotton!
Purchase at Etsy (Chakra Pennywhistle) for US$60




Cable Cushion - Stella James

Made in the UK
Organic merino wool
Okay, so this cosy cushion would be more appropriate for winter but add a warm blanket, cup of tea and a few romantic comedy DVDs and I'm all set for a night in, winter or summer!
Purchase online at Stella James for £36 (reduced from £53)




Vintage Seed Bag Cushion - Tentpitcher Design

Made in Philadelphia
This vintage burlap seed bag has great old fashioned charm. I like the masculine style of it and could see it sitting nicely in my little country house (which I hope to have some day!)
Purchase online at Etsy (Tentpitcher)for US$26
