Polyfil
Standard sizes

Cushions: go for straight, basic square, rectangle, or standard trapezoid
Pillows: skip the bolster and go with a lumbar instead
Curves, pleated edges, or odd shapes require pattern creation, and therefore cost more
-
Skip trim, welt, tufts, Velcro tabs, ties, and anything else that goes beyond fabric and the insert
