Feathers poking through cushions is indeed a natural occurrence, particularly with down or feather-filled cushions. These fillings are known for their softness and ability to trap air, which makes them incredibly comfortable. However, the structure of feathers means that they have quills which can, over time, work their way through the weave of most cushion covers. This doesn't necessarily indicate a reduction in quality or a defect; rather, it's a characteristic of an authentic feather-filled cushion. Regular fluffing and proper cushion maintenance can help minimize this, but an occasional feather making its escape is simply part of the charm of these natural products.
