COMFORT

The Bene Chair cushion consists of three layers. A layer of loose fill (Feather Down or Poly Fill) sits on top of two layers of high-density foam: a “support layer”and a “foundation layer”. Under the foam padding sits a solid wooden deck for stability and support.


Seat Cushion: 80% foam, 20% loose fill
Back Cushion: 100% loose fill


Our lofty Feather Down is ethically sourced, and our vegan Poly Fill is designed to mimic the familiar fluff of feathers. We mix a small percentage of vegan poly fiber into the Feather Down cushions for a bit of spring.


As a rule, the fluffier the cushion, the more upkeep it will require. Our cushions are exceptionally soft, and much of the fill is loose, so periodic fluffing will go a long way.


You can read more about our cushions in Materials & Construction or in our post, “Inside scoop: Feather Down vs Poly Fill.”

Shipping is always free, and we offer two delivery service options. 

Threshold delivery is free: our delivery carrier will leave your shipment at the front door of your house or apartment. 

White glove delivery costs $100: our delivery carrier will bring your shipment into the room of your choice, unpack your item, and complete any necessary assembly.  

To decide which option is best for you, read our post on the two delivery options and our tips to ensure a successful delivery. Take note of the height, width, and depth of doorways, hallways, stairwells, and elevators leading into your home. We recommend giving yourself an extra 1-2 inches of wiggle room—carriers may refuse delivery if they don't feel an item will fit. No-fit deliveries are subject to a 10% restocking fee. 

All deliveries require a signature. 

Please note: Items that are returned without their original packaging will incur a 10% restocking fee. 

Our Feather Down and Poly Fill cushions look and feel very similar. We engineer our shredded Poly Fill to mimic the decadent, sink-in experience associated with feather-filled cushions, and truthfully, sometimes we can't even tell the difference. 

Our Poly Fill consists of entirely vegan poly fiber, while our Feather Down is a mix of ethically-sourced feather, ethically-sourced down, and vegan poly fiber. 

Both fills are loose (not just big bricks of foam), and contents will shift around and shape to your favorite spots over time. Regular fluffing is strongly encouraged for both Feather Down and Poly Fill cushions to keep them looking and feeling like their prettiest, perkiest selves.
