The 16-inch heart shaped cushion pad is filled with hollowfibre and enclosed in a Corovin non-woven outer cut and bonded to the heart profile — holding the fill in place across the full shape including the pointed tip and both curved lobes. 16 inches at widest point (approximately 40cm). Made in Bolton. Tiered pricing. Free UK delivery over £49.95 ex VAT.
Heart Shaped Cushion Pads — 16 Inch Hollowfibre Insert, Fill to the Point
The challenge with a heart-shaped pad is purely structural. The pointed tip at the bottom and the two curved lobes at the top create three extremities that a loosely packed fill won't reach properly. Standard fill without a properly fitted outer migrates toward the widest part of the shape and leaves the tip flat and the lobe edges soft. It's why heart-shaped cushions often look correct on the outside but feel deflated when you pick them up — and why cheap versions always disappoint.
The hollowfibre fill here is a soft, consistent grade suited to the heart profile. The Corovin outer is cut and bonded to the exact heart shape, holding the fill in place across the full surface including the tip. The pad feels consistently full when handled, not heavy in the middle and hollow at the extremities.
At 16 inches at the widest point (approximately 40cm), this is a generous size for a decorative heart cushion. It's used by craft and sewing businesses making covered cushions for retail sale; by gift and personalised cushion makers; by florists and wedding stylists needing a decent insert for decorative hearts; and by those making post-surgical recovery cushions, where the heart shape makes it naturally practical for arm and chest support. See Heart Shaped Cushion Pads — Uses Beyond the Obvious for more on the range of applications.
Note on fill grade: Heart pads use hollowfibre fill rather than the Virgin Conjugated Hollowfibre specified for the square range. The conjugated grade is designed for repeated compression under body weight — right for sofa scatter cushions. For a heart shape, standard hollowfibre gives the correct balance of softness and full-shape coverage without over-filling the extremities.

Ideal For
Craft and sewing businesses making handmade heart cushion covers for retail or gifting; personalised cushion makers; gift product and wedding favour suppliers; florists and event stylists; anyone making post-surgical support cushions for recovery; home buyers looking for a good-quality insert for a heart cushion cover.
Care Instructions
Spot clean with a damp cloth. Air dry flat — the heart shape means it should be laid flat and the fill gently redistributed toward the tip and lobes while still damp to maintain the correct profile. Do not machine wash.
Why Buy
Heart-shaped inserts are a niche size that most suppliers treat as a low-priority line — which is why so many of them are poorly filled. We make these in Bolton, the same as the square range, with the same attention to fill distribution and outer casing spec. For craft buyers purchasing in batches, the tiered pricing makes the unit cost meaningful at quantity. For anyone who has tried a cheaper heart pad and been disappointed by a flat tip, that's the only relevant test.
FAQs
Why does the heart pad use regular hollowfibre rather than Virgin Conjugated?
Virgin Conjugated Hollowfibre is optimised for repeated compression under body weight — the scenario a sofa scatter cushion faces daily. A heart-shaped pad is primarily decorative or used for light support. Standard hollowfibre at the right fill density gives a softer, even coverage across the full heart profile, including the tip, without the rigidity that conjugated fill would create at the extremities.
Will the pointed tip stay full?
Yes — the Corovin outer is cut to the heart profile and holds the fill in place at the tip. This is where cheaper pads fail: a generic outer not bonded to the shape allows the fill to pull away from the point. The tip stays full because the outer holds it there.
What cover size suits a 16" heart pad?
A 16" heart pad is designed for a 16-inch heart cover. The measurement refers to the widest horizontal point of the heart. Check your cover's stated size at the widest point before ordering.
Is this suitable for making post-surgical recovery cushions?
Several customers have noted in reviews that they use these pads for exactly this — the heart shape provides practical arm and chest support following certain procedures. It's a legitimate use case that the shape facilitates naturally.
Can I order in bulk for a craft or retail business?
Yes — tiered pricing reduces the unit cost with quantity. For larger volume orders, call 01204 653023 or email sales@absolutehometextiles.co.uk. We manufacture in-house in Bolton so custom quantities are available.
