Amazingly soft. Our dining room set is only a year old but our cat feels as though it’s a great sratch postfur trap. To prevent further damage and freshen up the set I set out to get cushions. Not only do these form fit perfectly, but they are also super soft. My dining set is from Raymore  Flannigan and even though there’s a gap between lower back end and seat these covers make it almost impossible to know.
