The search produced the category of decorative cushion, which is a cushion whose purpose is visual rather than use. This was clarifying.

Also cited: the fact that visitors often comment favorably on a well-arranged sofa before displacing its cushions to sit down.
SEARCH 4: "where to put decorative cushions when sitting down" Context: The cushions must be relocated to sit. They cannot be leaned against because they are the wrong shape. They cannot be thrown because they are for visual arrangement. They go on the floor, or the armchair, or behind you in a place that disrupts the arrangement you just left intact for approximately forty seconds.
SEARCH 5: "how to organize cushion storage" Context: Hypothetically, to avoid the relocation problem. Not pursued. The cushions remain on the sofa.
