Cushions

We can custom cut foam for your cushion.  Typically, foam cushions are made from Polyurethane, but we also offer a variety of Specialty Foams.  If you are in the local area, bring your cover to the store and we will measure and cut your foam to size.   If a cover is unavailable, or if you are not in the local area,  measure the area to be "foamed," or make a paper pattern as follows:

  • Place your cushion on a large sheet of paper (such as a newspaper) and trace your cushion.  Cut out your tracing.  Then, place your tracing on the area to be "foamed" and see if it fits.  Adjust as necessary, until you are satisfied.   Remember, the better the pattern, the better the fit. 

  • For odd-shaped areas (such as window seats), which have no existing cover, a paper pattern is the easiest way to ensure a good fit.

  • Usual cushion thickness is 1", 2", 3", 4", 5" or 6".  When we cut your foam, we will cut it a little larger to ensure a tight fit within the cover, as the following example describes:

How to take measurements.

This cover measures 22" x 24" x 3 1/2".  The foam for this cushion would be cut approximately 22 1/2 x 24 1/2 x 4" to assure a good fit

  • If you provide us with an exact size pattern, we will cut the foam a little larger to ensure a tight fit, unless instructed otherwise.

Note: Polyester batting is available in 3/4" thickness.  If you would like batting around your cushion for that "rounded" look, please notify us when placing your order.

If you have any question about how to measure your cushions, please contact us.
