How to Style Your Home with Mattress Cushions: From Bench to Floor
Posted on
At Mayala Home, we love creating spaces that feel warm, inviting, and effortlessly relaxed — and our mattress cushions are the perfect way to achieve that. These versatile, colourful, and sustainable cushions aren’t just for garden benches or terrace lounges; they can bring softness and character to every corner of your home. In this blog, we’ll share our favourite ways to style mattress cushions — from benches to floors, indoors to outdoors — so you can turn your home into a cosy bohemian retreat.
1. Dress up your bench
Whether it’s a dining bench, hallway seat, or garden bench, a mattress cushion instantly transforms hard surfaces into soft, inviting places to sit. Choose colours and prints that complement your space — earthy tones for a calm, natural feel, or vibrant patterns for playful, eye-catching style. For a boho touch, mix cushions in different prints and sizes.
2. Cosy up your sofa
Refresh your sofa by layering a mattress cushion on the seat for extra softness. It adds comfort, a splash of colour, and a relaxed feel, perfect for casual family evenings or reading sessions. Add complementary throw pillows and a soft throw blanket, and you’ve created a stylish, snuggly nook.
3. Floor lounging in style
Mattress cushions are perfect for floor seating, whether you’re hosting friends, creating a kids’ play area, or setting up for a movie night. Lay several cushions on the floor, mix patterns for a laid-back bohemian vibe, and scatter some soft blankets around. It’s also ideal for small spaces where flexible seating makes all the difference.
4. Create an outdoor retreat
On dry days, bring your mattress cushions outdoors and set them up on the terrace or balcony. Stack a few on top of each other to make a low boho sofa, or place one on a pallet base for an instant lounge seat. Add lanterns, rugs, and string lights for that ultimate garden retreat feel. Just remember to bring them back indoors or under cover if rain is on the way!
5. Sleepover magic
Longer mattress cushions are perfect for kids’ sleepovers. Lay them on the floor with cosy blankets and a few soft pillows, and you’ve created a playful, comfy sleep space. Plus, they’re easy to roll up and store when not in use.
6. Reading corners and mindful spaces
Create a calming reading nook or meditation corner with a mattress cushion on the floor, a few pillows, and soft lighting. Add a little side table for your tea and books, and you have your own sanctuary for quiet moments.
Why we love them
All our mattress cushions are handmade with love by skilled artisans in India. Each one is filled with recycled cotton remnants — a beautiful way to reduce waste and support fair trade craftsmanship. The result? A product that’s not only soft and stylish but also kind to the planet.
Styling tips in short:
- Mix and match patterns for a relaxed, boho look.
- Layer with throws and pillows for extra softness.
- Use indoors and outdoors (under cover).
- Store in a dry place to keep them fresh and beautiful.
