Looking for a way to deck out your flat without spending a fortune (and creating a cosy, boho den in the process)? A pallet sofa might be a good idea.
Pallets go SO cheaply online – like £10 each max – and a quick browse of Gumtree showed up plenty of freebies too. Once that's sorted, you only need to invest in some pallet furniture cushions to finish off the look. These also work well in the garden too, btw, so you can finish off your patio ready to welcome guests.
For a couple of standard-sized pallets, you'll probably end up spending around £150-odd in total to buy all your supplies, which is a lot cheaper than your average sofa or garden furniture set. Then just invest in a couple of cool throws and some comfy cushions and your new sofa is 100% Insta-ready. We're happy with that.
Don't worry about the dodgy British weather either; we've found loads of options for your garden that are designed to withstand rain (although you might want to pop them inside overnight or if it really starts pouring).
So, here are our picks of the best pallet furniture cushions for your home and your garden in 2022.
Handmade Beanbags Waterproof rattan furniture cushion covers

These are waterproof, so you won't have to worry about them getting ruined if you accidentally leave them out in the rain during summer. Lots of colours available, too.

Here's a similar outdoor pallet cushion, except this time you can choose just a seat pad, a backrest, or both (the one above is just the seat pad).

Pallet Sofa Cushions
Oooh, this one comes with modular corner sections so you can create the wraparound pallet sofa of your dreams on your patio. It comes in a choice of six colours (we're vibing this teal the most) and if you buy more than one piece at a time, you get a small discount.
Indoor/outdoor: Outdoor
Waterproof? Water resistant
The Range 2 Piece Garden Tufted Pallet Cushions
The Range 2 Piece Garden Tufted Pallet Cushions
Another squishy option here in a crowd-pleasing grey hue. There's a deeper grey version as well. This set contains a backrest and a seat, so all you need to get started.
Indoor/outdoor: Outdoor
Waterproof? No
BlomsterStore Outdoor Garden Cushions
BlomsterStore Outdoor Garden Cushions
If you're looking for something a little sleeker than the tufted numbers, this is a chunky option without any bells and whistles. We like the addition of the jazzy throw cushions here, too.
Indoor/outdoor: Outdoor
Waterproof? Yes
Quiltella Custom Pallet Cushion
Quiltella Custom Pallet Cushion
Not one for your outdoor sofa, but if you've got a boho sitting room vibe (or you're looking for a bench seat), Quiltela will custom make you whatever you need in whatever colour and size you need. Nice.
Indoor/outdoor: Indoor
Waterproof? No
Durafoam Cushion Pallet Cushion Pads
Durafoam Cushion Pallet Cushion Pads
Fancy a new lockdown project? Make your own pallet cushions. Once you've sewn up your new covers, use this foam as the filling. You'll be well chuffed with yourself.
