Ready to take your relaxation to a new – extremely low – level? Floor cushions and pouffes invite laid-back vibes and lazy afternoons spent reading, streaming and hanging out with the people you love.
Fashion them into an impromptu conversation pit, create a cosy reading nook that kids and adults will love, or sit solo and meditate on the delicious comfort of it all.
Hommey Mighty cushion
Hommey launched mid-pandemic with a range of ethically sourced cushions in feel-good hues and textures. It’s grown now to include other homewares – such as towels, throws and robes – but the Melbourne label still knows how to produce covetable and comfy things to lounge (and sit) on. The Mighty cushion clocks in at 92 centimetres square, and indoor iterations come in sturdy and stylish bouclés, velvets and felts. $70–$279
Castle butterscotch shag floor cushion
With shaggy good looks and a range of retro colourways, this two-tone floor cushion looks like it was made for sitting around and listening to vinyl on sun-drenched ’70s afternoons. Designed in Sydney’s Marrickville for fun-loving home and art brand Castle, and made from super-soft shaggy cotton, it’s equally at home in a kid’s room, yoga studio, laid-back lounge or beachside holiday shack. $159
Pony Rider National ottoman in upcycled khaki
Aussie label Pony Rider is just as well known for its camping gear as its cushion line, and this National ottoman neatly ticks both boxes. Made from upcycled army tent canvas, the ottoman is sturdy enough to plonk by a campfire if need be, and handsome enough to suit a range of pared-back interior styles. The quirky yet utilitarian floor cushion is part of the brand’s National range, so a percentage from each sale goes to the Foundation for National Parks & Wildlife. $199
Business & Pleasure Co outdoor floor pillow
Made from ultra-durable all-weather fabric and foam, this outdoor floor pillow from Aussie label Business & Pleasure Co is equal parts tough and chic. Classic navy stripes lend a timeless and breezy Hamptons vibe, and a sturdy handle means you can easily transport it wherever you need down-low seating: loungeroom, verandah, poolside or beach. Practical bonus points: covers are 100 per cent spill- and stain-resistant, and can be removed for washing and air-drying. $399.99
Leah Singh floor cushion
Okay let’s get one thing out of the way: these handcrafted floor cushions are also marketed as dog beds, but we’ve been assured they’re equally comfortable on human backsides as canine ones. Designed by NYC-based Leah Singh and ethically produced by artisan weavers in Rajasthan, India, the range features punchy colour combinations and fun geometric forms. Made from 100 per cent cotton, they’re available in Australia through Koskela. $360
Linen Glamswag
This eponymous Perth label has coined the term “Glamswag” as a catch-all for its luxe roll-up bed design – something like a combination doona-mattress-throw-pillow made for curling up on inside and out. The linen range is sturdy enough for outdoor use, but it’s also welcome in the living room and playroom – doubled up for sitting or rolled out for sprawling, depending on your mood. Made with a 100 per cent French flax-linen cover, it’s available in a range of dusty pastels and more saturated tones, plus a handful of classic stripes. $275
Pampa Puna floor cushion
Argentinian-Australian label Pampa is based in Byron Bay and has a decade-long practice working with remote weaving communities in Argentina and Chile to develop home textile collections that celebrate craft, texture and material. This floor cushion is made with sheep’s wool woven by indigenous artisans on the high-altitude Puna plateau, and it’s available in plain and patterned styles in three earthy tones. Fit for a range of interior styles, it’s an investment piece that pays back in traditional artistry and relaxed vibes. $470
Pop & Scott linen floor cushion
Much-loved Aussie design label Pop & Scott has a knack for turning out effortlessly cool wares that are also practical and family-friendly. This round floor cushion is made to order in two hefty sizes, and features removable commercial-grade linen covers with a 100 per cent organic cotton Japanese futon fill – perfect for daytime snoozing and general lazing about. Eight earthy colourways are batch-dyed in New South Wales, so there are plenty of hues to mix and match. $600–$750
