Show us your cushions……..we need something lighthearted!

Every morning and evening I go through the palaver of removing and replacing cushions on our bed, every bed in the house has a cushion arrangement!

It always seems a shame to throw them on the floor each evening and then there’s the huffing and puffing when my husband tries to replace them in the morning but gets it hopelessly wrong.

Do you fiddle and faff with cushions or could you not give a flying fig?

Pictures please.

The one arm chair in my new house till I get delivered new sofa etc, in about 3months 😫 and that chair isn’t the most comfy 🙄 I have a few others but only one on my bed.

It’s not the best photo, but we have 2 pillows and one cushion each. I actually use them while reading, 2 underneath me and one to prop up my book!

DH uses one under his knees and tosses the other on the floor.

No cushions on the bed in this house too much faff.
I have 2 favourite cushions one is a personalised one of family photos a gift on my last 0 birthday. The other is the one with donkeys on. I’m a big lover of these gentle creatures and was thrilled to come across this one in Dunelm.

Oh Boz I am suffering from cushion envy..

The lady on the left is Leonardo de Vinci and can be obtained for £5 from Ebay. Paoletti cushions.

Can anyone help me with cushion on the right? It was a gift. Obviously a section of a old picture. Might be Tudor (ruff)

I have a matching cushion on the main guest bed but not on the beds we use everyday.
I do have very large bright cushions in the living room, however, silver and fuchsia.

OR…
Dogs and cats on cushions, either literally or figuratively 😃

Not only do I have one fake orchids in my hall, I have two.
I have a smaller one at the other end of the hall. It is on a table under a mirror.
I just went to take a photograph of it when I realised there was a wrinkly old woman, still in her dressing gown staring into the camera, a reflection in the mirror.
I can’t inflict that on you on Sunday morning but I have now informed you of the fact.

Usedtobeblonde Sun 31-Aug-25 10:33:00

I can oblige with the cat photo, this is Molly, who loves the conservatory.

Oreo Sun 31-Aug-25 10:36:10

What a gorgeous cat!😍So clean, looks like the furry tum has just been washed in the machine.😄Makes you want to give it a hug.
