    Depends on how big and how deep they are. If they were seat/back cushions for a sofa or armchair, then foam would be best - it's usually very easy to find upholstery foam suppliers on the web, and most will cut them to size for you. If they're small scatter cushions, though, then replacement cushion pads should be all you need. Argos do a set of 4 for £5.99 (http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1203868.htm), or you could buy some cheap hollow-fibre pillows, cut them in half, take out an inch of the stuffing from the edge, and sew up to make 2 cushion pads - they'll never be seen, so you wouldn't even need to sew up on the wrong side.
  • Ikea do single cushion fillers for £ 1.09 or £ 1.19 each .. saw them today.
