Cushion Cover FAQ's

Looking for the right cushion covers?

Bolt of Cloth has the largest range of colourful, design-led cushion covers available online throughout New Zealand. We source distinctive designs and fabrics from New Zealand and around the world, alongside our own Bolt of Cloth cushion covers made in Christchurch. Whether you’re looking for one statement cushion or putting together a whole sofa, we can help you find cushions that work together.

1. Where can I buy unique cushion covers online in New Zealand?

Bolt of Cloth specialises in cushion covers that are a little different from what you’ll find everywhere else. Our collection includes colourful prints, patterns, plains, textures and more understated designs from distinctive local and international brands, as well as our own cushion covers made in Christchurch. Shop online with delivery throughout NZ.

2. How do I choose cushions for my sofa?

Start with the colours already in your room, but don’t feel that every cushion needs to match. A combination of different patterns, textures and sizes usually creates a more interesting look.

Try choosing one cushion you really love as your starting point, then build around it with colours, patterns or textures that connect the group.

3. Can you help me choose cushions for my couch?

Yes. If you’re not sure where to start or want help getting the combination just right, try our Couch Makeover service.

For $20, we send you a short survey about your styling preferences and ask you to upload photos of your couch and room. Our team then puts together two different cushion looks tailored to your space. You can give us feedback and we’ll make revisions based on what you like.

It’s an easy way to get expert help choosing cushion colours, patterns and combinations without having to work it all out yourself.

4. What size cushion covers should I choose?

Using more than one cushion size can make a sofa or bed look more considered. Larger cushions work well at the back, with smaller square or rectangular cushions layered in front.

If you already have cushion inners at home, check their dimensions before ordering a new cover, as even similarly shaped cushions can come in different sizes. You can browse our cushions by size.

5. Do your cushion covers come with cushion inners?

You can buy our cushion covers with or without an inner. If you purchase an inner with your cushion cover, you’ll receive 20% off the cushion inner.

We offer high-quality feather cushion inners for a soft, full look, as well as recyled PET cushion inners, which are a great option for outdoor cushions or for people who prefer a non-feather inner due to allergies. Simply choose your preferred inner when ordering your cushion cover - each cushion shows you the correct size to buy.

6. How do I mix cushion colours and patterns?

Your cushions don’t all need to match — mixing different patterns often creates a much more interesting room.

Look for a common thread, such as a colour that appears in several cushions, and then vary the scale of the patterns. A bold floral or geometric print can work beautifully alongside a smaller pattern, stripe or textured plain.

If putting the combination together feels difficult, our Couch Makeover service can do the hard part for you.

7. Are Bolt of Cloth cushion covers made in New Zealand?

Our own Bolt of Cloth cushion covers are made in-house in Christchurch. We’ve been making cushion covers since Bolt of Cloth began in 2009, using carefully selected fabrics to create our own collection alongside the international brands we stock.

8. Do you sell designer cushion covers?

Yes. We source design-led cushion covers and fabrics from distinctive brands and designers in New Zealand and overseas. We look for good design, quality materials and interesting colour, pattern and texture rather than stocking the same cushions you’ll find everywhere.  Our brands include Marimekko, Orla Kiely and Fine Little Day.

9. Do you deliver cushion covers throughout New Zealand?

Yes. Bolt of Cloth is based in Christchurch and we ship cushion covers throughout New Zealand, including Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Queenstown and everywhere in between. You can browse our full cushion collection online and have your order delivered anywhere in NZ.
