The comfortable sausage cushion
A sausage cushion? Yes, it sounds a bit uncharming, but in reality it's a really nice pillow that you'll really love.
The sausage cushion is 40 cm long with a diameter of 20 cm. The foam is firm enough that the pillow won't collapse under you, but holds its shape and provides support.
What can I use a sausage cushion for?
Use it as a movable armrest, for leg and neck support or as a decorative cushion on your daybed or pallet sofa.
If you want your sausage cushion to be shorter, you can easily cut the foam with a knife.

Foam of the right quality
This foam is OEKO-TEX® certified polyether foam, which is naturally not treated with flame retardants.
The foam has a high tear strength and is moisture resistant. At the same time, it holds its shape with a strong recovery capacity - in other words: a durable foam for your DIY project.
The foam has a density of 25, which means it is soft and comfortable. The hardness is 130 N.
Choose the right foam hardness
Foam is not just foam. Once you've spent hours sewing the best-looking cover for your project, you need to choose the right foam to put inside.
The hardness of foam is called Newton (N). The higher the Newton, the harder the foam. You can assume that a foam with 100 N or less is soft, around 140 N is medium soft, and more than 160 N is hard.
Naturally, your creative project and ideas will determine which hardness to choose, but as a starting point, we recommend:
- 80-130 N for back cushions, bed frames, and similar
- 110-160 N for sleeping mattresses
- 130-200 N for seat cushions for chairs, sofas, and the like
