If that is what you want, here is the whole natural-fiber shelf.* Also asked as: Do you have 100% natural fiber fabric options?; Cost difference for natural linen, viscose or cotton? > **The quick answer:** Yes, 100% linen cushion covers are made from a dedicated 100% linen chart, alongside 100% cotton fabrics, heavy pure linen and linen-cotton blends, viscose and terry-like fabrics; hemp isn't offered. On sofas, natural linen, viscose or cotton costs a little more than the standard fabric, and the difference is paid through a separate fabric-difference link; the quote shows it. Always check the fiber content of the exact code you choose. ![Orange and white leaf print box cushion on a chunky timber sleeper bench beside a steel fire bowl on gravel](https://cushionguide.com/media/bench-cushions/orange-leaf-cushion-sleeper-bench-fire-pit-garden-1600.webp "A heavy sleeper bench next to the fire bowl becomes a proper seat with a thick orange leaf print cushion.") ## Key facts - A 100% linen chart and 100% cotton fabrics are available. - The striped fabrics are 100% cotton. - Heavy pure linen and linen-cotton blends are offered for daybed cushions. - Viscose, white cotton, a cotton-based linen and terry-like fabrics are also offered. - Hemp is not offered. - On sofas, natural fabric costs a little more, paid through a separate fabric-difference link. - On one floor-cushion set, 100% cotton came out higher than linen. ## The natural-fiber shelf, fabric by fabric - ✓ 100% linen, from its own color chart - ✓ 100% cotton, including every striped fabric - ✓ Heavy pure linen and linen-cotton blends, offered for daybed cushions - ✓ A cotton-based linen, and plain white cotton - ✓ Viscose, and fabrics close to terry cloth ## What isn't on the shelf - ✗ Hemp: not offered in any chart - ✗ A promise that every 'linen' name means pure linen: one gray linen topper held polyester - ✗ Natural fibers at the base price on a sofa: expect a fabric difference on top ## How the difference is paid, and what moves it On a sofa, you order the normal listing and pay the fabric difference for natural linen, viscose or cotton through a separate link; the quote shows the amount.

For a family [bench cushion](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/bench-cushions/), the workshop's honest note is that its soft [microfiber](https://cushionguide.com/glossary/#microfiber) is still the easiest to live with.

Which matters more to you, the hand of the fiber or the ease of the wash? > **Tailor's margin:** Ask for the fiber content of the exact fabric code: a gray cushion fabric sold as 'linen' once turned out to contain polyester. > 100% linen and 100% cotton cushion fabrics cost a little more on a sofa, and if the stripe you love is from the striped range, it's already 100% cotton. > > — Élodie ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Are any of your fabrics 100% natural fiber? **The workshop's answer:** Yes, the striped fabrics are 100% cotton. **A common question:** Can my sofa be made in natural linen or cotton instead of polyester? **The workshop's answer:** Yes. Natural linen, viscose or cotton costs a little more than the standard fabric; one modular sofa in a natural light-coffee linen was paid as the normal sofa listing plus a private fabric-difference link. There are 100% linen and 100% cotton charts, and on a set of four 28 x 28 in (70 x 70 cm) floor seats with a backrest, cotton cost more than linen. **A common question:** Do you carry pure linen, cotton, or even terry cloth? **The workshop's answer:** Yes: a 100% linen chart, 100% cotton fabrics, heavy pure linen and linen-cotton blends for daybed cushions, and fabrics similar to terry cloth. Charts or photos are sent on request. Check the fiber content of the specific code you pick. **A common question:** I want natural fibers, cotton, linen or hemp, instead of velvet. What do you suggest? **The workshop's answer:** The workshop offers its cotton-based linen and can use white cotton. Hemp isn't offered, and for families it suggests the soft microfiber fabric as the most practical choice. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Is the furniture corduroy a natural fiber?
