What Does T-Cushion Mean?

A "T" cushion wraps around the arms of a chair.

A "T" cushion is the shape of a seat cushion used for armchairs and sofas. The short part of the "T" corresponds to the edge of the cushion that sits closest to the back of the chair or sofa. The long part of the "T" sits at the front of the chair or sofa.

Function

A "T" cushion is used on a chair or sofa when the arms do not extend to the edge of the seat. When used on a sofa, a "T" cushion can be the only cushion sitting on the sofa.

Identification

"T" cushions consist of an outer cover and an inner cushion. There is typically a zipper at the back of the outer cover located on the edge that presses up against the back of the chair or sofa.

Benefits

"T" cushions can be flipped over so that both sides of the cushion wear evenly.

Types

"T" cushions are designed to fit both the size of the chair or sofa and the shape of the chair or sofa's arms.

Construction

"T" cushions are available in a variety of fills and fabrics. Typical cushion fills include down, feathers, foam, polyester batting or a combination of these materials.

Considerations

"T" cushions are specifically made for the chair or sofa they sit on, and are not interchangeable between different chair or sofa styles.
