    Has anyone got any idea of where I might be able to buy a very firm cushion?
    The one I have has gone very very floppy & is not firm enough at all sadly.
    Thanks.

    In the City By The Sea where I used to live (okay, Brighton!) there was a shop selling foam by the square metre ... with Butti, I recommend Google as your friend :)

    Glad yesterday went so well for you, it must have been amazing!

    Depends on the cushion type, if it's one you sit on then foam would be best, places like dunelm or the range sell it or you can buy it online. If it's one you sit against then maybe just buying another insert for it would do the job, they do go flat after a while. Again places that sell cushions will have them or just look on the bay of e. You just need to measure the cushion cover to know what size you need.
