2. No rents for highstreet retail shopfronts.
3. Instead sales people in each store we have a centralised customer service team
4. We manufacture in our own factory not outsourcing it.
5. Like your clothes, computer, phone and outdoor furniture, our cushions are not made in the UK. See below to learn the truth about "Made in Britain"
It's a nice feeling when an item says "Made In Britain" or "Made in the UK" Many companies love to boast proudly they are “Made In Britain ” but the truth is:
- Outdoor foam is not made in the UK
- Outdoor fabric is not made in UK
- The filling and packaging is also not made in UK
Most companies claiming their cushions are "Made in UK" should really tell you the truth, and say “assembled in UK” because their raw materials are from CHINA!
( We are of the mind the less things bought from China the better )

When ordering a custom made cushion all the setup costs/time are included in the price. Generic / ready made cushions tend to user inferior filling in comparison everything in our cushions is design full outdoor exposure.
