The cushion supports the base of the bowl while isolating it from the surface underneath, which is the whole reason it exists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bowl resting directly on a table drains its vibration into the furniture, which produces a short flat note instead of a sustained one. That is not a small difference and it is why every bowl in every shop sits on a cushion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eGetting the Size Right\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 16cm cushion suits bowls of 18cm to 20cm. Measure your bowl across the widest point of the rim rather than the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are between sizes, take the smaller one. A cushion that is too large touches the wall of the bowl rather than only the base, which damps it and is worse than one slightly too small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen to Replace It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCushions compress rather than wear out. One that has flattened to half its original height no longer isolates properly, and you will notice the bowl sustaining less before you notice the cushion looks flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking it firmly between both hands redistributes the filling and recovers some loft. Standing it on edge somewhere dry for a day or two helps as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCare\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 16cm and 80g. Keep it dry, since a damp cushion compresses and does not recover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrush clean rather than washing. Velvet holds dust and a soft brush lifts it without flattening the pile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Root \u0026 Still","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58554822230280,"sku":"tib-52","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1037\/7861\/5560\/files\/bG9jYWw6Ly9tZWRpYS9ITi9FQy82MFIzMEMxRzY4VEtFQ0hOL2NmYThiODFmLmpwZWc_2fa5a2c7-dd5c-4f33-a13d-756022b81629.jpg?v=1787826933","url":"https:\/\/rootandstill.com\/products\/singing-bowl-velvet-cushion-16cm930","provider":"Root \u0026 Still","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
