Price History
Description
Starting with a solid timber frame, simply choose from three different styles of back – formal, scatter or fixed – before deciding between slim, wide, high or scrolled arms. You can then pick between one or two seat cushions with your choice of filling to sit atop the frame. Each combination will have its own distinct character; a slim arm with a fixed back will create a distinctly contemporary shape, whilst pairing a scrolled arm with a scattered cushion back will form a much more traditional design. With a wide range of fabrics on offer, including soft wools and opulent velvet, you can find a texture that will suit your taste and home. Finally, add the finishing touches with one of three choices of leg that come in different finishes and two different heights.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cushion for its versatile, contemporary look and supportive design. The wide arm and tall stem make it ideal for adding height and interest to sofas or daybeds, while the one cushion format keeps it uncluttered. It works beautifully in modern and minimalist interiors but can also bring a fresh touch to more traditional spaces when paired with textured fabrics or layered with other cushions. Practical styling tips include mixing different textures and colours for a curated feel, or using it as a statement piece on a neutral sofa to elevate the overall aesthetic. Its size and clean lines make it a reliable staple that balances comfort with style.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
