Abstract

Abstract A cushion or pillow for use by making upholstered furniture comprises a generally block- or plate-shaped foam core (2) and a fibrous stuffing material (6) which surrounds the core. The stuffing material (6) includes at least one layer or web of a cable fiber material, the layer being dimensioned and retained to completely enclose the core. The long and generally uniformly oriented cable fibers or filaments are retained and the stuffing material does not include free or loose fibers. Accordingly, it is not necessary to make specific demands with respect to the tightness of cover fabrics, since there are no loose fibers which are able to penetrate the cover. The fact that the long fibers or filaments are continuous has also the effect that the fibers or filaments are not able to lump or become firmly bonded together and, thereby, the cushion can be cleaned by usual washing and drying.
