PILLOWS AND CUSHION INSERTS
If you have these already you can absolutely reuse old pillows or new cushion inserts to stuff your cushion. While the exact size of your Mandala Life ART cushion will most likely not be available in a standard size from the shop – this is actually no problem. Go for a pillow size a couple of sizes bigger than your cushion, or use multiple inserts to get a really full, even feel.
A 24×8 inches floor cushion you can fill with 2 x 26 inches square inserts from any supplier, and pad it out with additional linen, clothing or other recycled fabrics
UPHOLSTERY SUPPLIES
This option is more expensive – but gives a nice even fill and weight. Look online for coconut fiber, buckwheat hull or flock.
Rubber suppliers also sell bags of foam offcuts that can be used, but I would always suggest mixing a bag of foam with an equal mix of recycled cotton fibers so the cushion is still breathable.
Grab a 5lb foam offcuts if you mix with fabrics otherwise you will need 10lb
BEAN BAG BALLS
While a completely viable option, it’s not a method we use ourselves – manufactured polystyrene (EPS) bean bag balls aren’t not good for our environmentally for our oceans and beaches, or the wildlife and marine animals that can swallow them. Plus we don’t really like that crunchy sound in our cushions
