Premium Cushion Constructions
Spring‑Down, HR Foam & Down‑Wrap, and Micro‑Plush Cushions
Luxury Cushion Engineering for Baker, McGuire, Hickory Chair & Designer‑Grade Seating
At First Class MasterCraft, we don’t just replace cushions — we engineer comfort.
For clients who expect more than basic foam or simple feather inserts, we offer
premium cushion constructions used in high‑end furniture houses and bespoke seating.
Spring‑Down, HR foam with down wrap, Micro‑Plush, and all‑down options are custom‑built in our Fort Lee workshop.
What Is Premium Cushion Construction?
Premium cushion constructions combine multiple materials — springs, high‑resilience foam,
down, feather, and specialty fills — to achieve a specific balance of support, softness,
bounce‑back, and longevity. These are the constructions found in luxury brands such as
Baker, McGuire, Hickory Chair, and other designer collections.
If you’ve ever sat on a cushion that feels supportive, cloud‑soft, and never seems to sag — it was likely built with one of these constructions.
Spring‑Down Seat Cushions
What Is a Spring‑Down Cushion?
A Spring‑Down cushion features a coil spring unit encased in foam and wrapped in
a down/feather envelope. This construction delivers a traditional, buoyant “ride” with
exceptional resilience and long‑term performance.=
How It Feels

- Soft top layer from the down wrap
- Deep, luxurious comfort

Best For
- High‑end sofas and club chairs

Spring‑Down Cushion Pricing
+ $95 – $195 per cushion (upgrade)
Pricing varies by size, spring unit, and down blend.
HR Foam Core with Down & Feather Wrap
What Is an HR + Down‑Wrap Cushion?
This construction uses a High‑Resilience (HR) foam core wrapped in a
down/feather envelope. It combines firm, supportive structure with a soft, luxurious surface.
How It Feels
- Supportive core that prevents “bottoming out”
- Soft, plush top feel from the down wrap
- Excellent shape retention
- Comfortable for long sitting sessions
Best For
- Daily‑use sofas and sectionals
- Family rooms and lounges
- Clients who want luxury comfort with structure
HR + Down‑Wrap Cushion Pricing

Micro‑Plush Cushion Cores
What Is a Micro‑Plush Cushion?
Micro‑Plush cushions use a specialized, ultra‑soft core or layered fill designed to create
a cloud‑like, sink‑in feel while maintaining loft and support. Often used in premium back cushions.
How It Feels
- Very soft, enveloping comfort
- High loft with gentle support
- Ideal for lounging and relaxation
Best For
- Back cushions on deep sofas
- Reading chairs and loungers
- Clients who prefer a “sink‑in” feel
Micro‑Plush Cushion Pricing
+ $45 – $95 per cushion (upgrade)
Pricing varies by size and construction details.
All‑Down & All‑Feather Back Cushions
All‑Down Back Cushions
Filled entirely with premium down, these cushions offer maximum softness and a luxurious,
cloud‑like feel. They require regular fluffing and maintenance but deliver unmatched comfort.
+ $65 – $145 per cushion (upgrade)
All‑Feather Back Cushions
Filled with feather only, these cushions provide more structure than all‑down while still
feeling soft and supportive. A good option for clients who want loft with a bit more body.
+ $55 – $125 per cushion (upgrade)
Channel‑Baffled Down Cushions
For larger seat or back cushions, we can build channel‑baffled constructions
that keep down and feather evenly distributed, preventing clumping and migration.
+ $75 – $165 per cushion (upgrade)
Downproof Ticking Included
All premium down and feather constructions are encased in downproof ticking
to prevent feather leakage and maintain cushion shape.
