I was delighted to find cushions with a natural cover, linen, and cushions with a feather/down filling. The cushions arrived safe and well, I'm looking forward to using them. Unfortunately, they have a perfumed smell. I've an intolerance which makes such a smell very uncomfortable for me in different ways, headache, breathing and nausea. I have managed to clear the smell from the linen covers, but still haven't managed to remove it from the cushions. More difficult because of their bulk I presume. As it so happens, I have the cushions outside on garden chairs today. I don't understand why the cushions have to be perfumed. I use down/feather and feather/down duvets and have never had this problem before. Kind regards Anne Wall
