The overhang of the cushions is an important part of the design for all sofas featuring loose cushion seating. The cushions are specially fitted to allow for the ‘shrinkage’ effect when pressure is applied to the cushion (when sitting). If the cushions did not overhang you will find that your legs will be resting on the front frame of the sofa which is not so comfortable.
With time and use the shape of the cushions will change and adapt to your size and weight. Leather is a natural material and will stretch/contract constantly often resulting in leather ripples on the cushion surface. The filling will also move around inside the casing (especially duck feather). We do not recommend over-stuffing the cushions as they are pre-filled to an optimum level.
