Build the RFQ Around the Actual Product
A cushion or pouf is more than the outer fabric. Cover construction, filling material and weight, finished shape, seam strength, closure, compression and packing must work together.
What to Put in the Sourcing Brief
- Article type: decorative cushion, floor cushion, box cushion, chair pad, pouf or cover only
- Finished dimensions and shape tolerance
- Outer fabric, colour, print, embroidery or texture
- Filling type, filling weight/density and feel
- Removable or fixed cover; zip/closure construction
- Piping, flange, quilting or decorative detail
- Seam strength and shape requirement
- Compression/vacuum packing if required
- Labels, inner packing, carton requirement and quantity
Quality Control Should Match the Construction
Filled products should be checked for finished dimensions, symmetry and shape, filling distribution, seam and closure workmanship, shade, surface defects, stains and packing. Measurement has to reflect the agreed method because soft filled articles can change shape under handling or compression.
Supplier & Cluster Fit
Strong base for many cushions, covers and furnishing made-ups depending on fabric and construction.
The best cover supplier is not automatically the best filled-product supplier; both sewing and filling/finishing capability should be checked.
Bulky items need realistic carton, compression and recovery planning before final costing.
Cushions & Poufs Sourcing FAQs
What is needed to cost a filled cushion?
Provide finished size, cover fabric, filling type and target weight/density, closure, decorative details, quantity and packing method.
Can cushions be supplied as covers only?
Yes, where the buyer wants to source filling locally, the specification can be prepared for cushion covers only.
What is important when inspecting poufs?
Typical checks include dimensions, shape, filling distribution, seam strength, closures, surface appearance, labels and packing.
Why should packing be decided early?
Filled products can be bulky. Compression or carton configuration affects appearance recovery, shipping volume and final cost.
