Cactus Silk cushions are handwoven from the silk of a cactus plant, called the Sabra Cactus, only found in Morocco. This material creates a silky denim texture and features a hand stitched, unique Berber Symbol. All cushions come unstuffed so they can be filled to your preference of firmness, see stuffing suggestions here.
All of our Cushions and Poufs are sold unstuffed, to be filled according to your own preference of firmness. There are several different options for filling, here’s a few suggestions;
Polyester/Corn Fibre-Fill
A super soft, lightweight filling, best suited to Cactus Silk Cushions or Berber Poufs. Can be bought at a haberdashery, large home stores or ordered online.
Cushion/Pillow Inserts
The easiest filling, providing the inserts fit the product you are stuffing. We use 1-2 in our cushions and 4 in our Poufs.
Recycled Materials
The most eco-friendly way of stuffing - using your old clothes, towels, bedding and fabrics not only provides a great insert but also helps the environment and reduces landfill. For best results cut the fabric into small pieces.
Cushion Foam
Best used as a firm bottom layer in poufs, cut to shape or bought as crumbled foam for cushions.
Buckwheat Hulls
Creates a firm but flexible filling and can be bought from health-food stores or online.
