So i have this little ikea loveseat that is kinda hard. it is the lowest cost one. So i found an old comforter that is for a twin bed, we don't have any more twin beds, and i am making cushion. the cover is from curtains someone gave to me. they are a bright blue that matches my teal blue and marroon theme. Pretty excited about this.

That'll make it more comfy! Have fun sewing.
I made one for a little wooden settee. Saved me from selling it.

i made it and it is pretty cute, i think for a hard bench i would put some foam in the middle of the lightweight comforter. Mine is almost lumpy feather bed style. Did you use foam as a filing or something else?

I did use foam because of the odd curve shape.

I recently read this quote, "Frugality --- a vehicle for ingenuity and creativity", and you certainly proved the quote. Great use of resources! I can also recommend making down-filled cushions (individual- or bench-style) from old down bed pillows or a down comforter that has seen better days to soften the "tush".
