Fancy orthopaedic back cushions (4)
I believe the answer is:
idea
'fancy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for idea that I've seen before include "Notion, belief" , "Inkling" , "Thought, belief" , "Theory" , "Product of the mind" .)
