Understanding Furniture: Cushions

[@dantewhittaker2739]

Interesting to know. Which one is the most durable?

What is the best cushion type for heavy set people roughly 240lbs that's not going to compress so much within the first 6 months to year and feel as if nothing is there? For couches that would normally require a 5" cushion.

Hello, Pete! thank you for your question. That is a tough question to answer, but typically the higher the density, the firmer the core. So it will last longer, however sometimes you are sacrificing comfort for longevity. Also, some manufacturers have seat cores with coil springs in them which also provides a firmer seat that may last longer. I hope this helps in your research. Just make sure you quiz the retailer on why something would be up to the standards you require.
