What to plan before you order
Measure the furniture
For seat and bench cushions, measure the width, the depth and the thickness you want, and note any curves or cut-outs around arms or posts. A paper template of an awkward seat is the surest way to get the shape right.
Pick fabric for where it will live
Outdoor cushions need a fabric made for outdoor use, which resists fading and dries quickly. Indoors, choose a hard-wearing upholstery weight for cushions that are sat on, and anything you like for scatter cushions.
Fire safety for furniture
In the UK, upholstered furniture supplied in the course of a business, such as in a holiday let, has to meet the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations, which cover the filling and the covers. Say where the cushions will be used, so the right padding goes in.
Decide how you’ll clean them
Loose covers with a zip can be taken off and washed. Sewn-in covers can’t, so they suit cushions that don’t see much wear.
Have your fabric and sizes ready
Before you get in touch, have the fabric you’d like to use, or a sample of it, and the sizes of the cushions or the seats they’re for. If you’re matching existing cushions, measure one of them, including its thickness.
Good to know
Pictures and emblems
A cushion with a badge, a logo or a picture of your pet starts with the fabric or the picture you’d like to use. Have it to hand when you get in touch, so the design can be talked through.
Plump cushions
A cushion pad slightly larger than its cover gives a fuller look. Feather pads hold their shape and plump up well; hollowfibre pads are lighter and suit anyone with a feather allergy.
Outdoor cushions last longer kept dry
Even outdoor fabrics last longer when the cushions are brought in or covered when they’re not in use, and over the winter.
Placing the pattern
A large motif looks best centred on the front of the cushion, which can take more fabric than the cushion’s size suggests.
Zips, buttons and ties
A zip along the back or bottom edge keeps a cover neat and easy to remove. Ties hold seat cushions in place on dining and garden chairs, and buttoned or piped edges give a more tailored finish.

Cushion questions
What size cushions can you make?
Any size. We create handmade cushions in any size using your choice of material and pattern.
Can you make cushions for outdoor furniture?
Yes, for indoor or outdoor furniture. Choose a fabric made for outdoor use so the cushions stand up to the sun and the rain.
Can you put my football team’s badge on a cushion?
Yes. Whether you’re looking for a cushion with your favourite football team’s emblem on, or even a picture of your pet, we can create your perfect piece from scratch.
Can you add fire-proof padding?
Yes, we can integrate fire-proof padding. It matters most for furniture in a holiday let or another business.
Can you make loose covers?
Yes, we can make simple loose covers, which can be taken off for washing.
Can you make a cushion to fit an unusual seat?
Yes, cushions can be made in any size. For an awkward shape, such as a window seat or a seat with cut-outs around the arms, a paper template of the seat is the most reliable way to get the shape right.
