Your size isn't in the dropdown. That's a message to send, not a dead end.

Petrol blue piping pulls the color of the rug up to the seat, framing the mustard in a single dark line.

The quick answer

A custom size can be added to the listing on request: message your exact size, refresh the page, and the new option appears so you can check out normally. Quoted or multi-part orders get a personal 'Custom for you' option or a private listing instead. A 'Custom for...' option already in the menu was made for a previous buyer, so ask for your own quote.

Why a named option isn't yours to buy

A 'Custom for...' line in the size menu looks like an open door. It's a size cut and priced for a previous buyer, and it rarely matches your seat to the quarter inch. Ask for your own number instead, partner; it costs one message.

The off-menu size Pattern and the personalization note Pattern show the exact wording. To see a size before you ask, sketch it in the bench cushion builder, then browse bench cushions. What size is missing from your dropdown?

A 'Custom for...' option in a cushion size menu was made for a previous buyer; ask for your own quote instead of buying someone else's size.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Your listing has no 11¾ x 47¼ in (30 x 120 cm) option. Can you make that size?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. That size was added to the listing as a new option so the buyer could pick it and order directly.

  2. A common question

    Could I get a velvet floor cushion at 20 x 38 inches?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. A 20 x 38 in (51 x 97 cm) option was added to the listing, and the buyer ordered it directly in pink velvet, color 27.

  3. A common question

    My size isn't in the dropdown. What are my options?

    The workshop's answer

    Pick the nearest listed size and the workshop makes your exact size, or ask and your size becomes a new option, as 36 x 72 in, 13.5 x 39.75 in and 48 x 79.5 in did. Extras like handles can be left off.

  4. A common question

    What does 'Custom for' plus someone's name mean in the size menu?

    The workshop's answer

    It's a size made for a previous customer. Tell the workshop the size you need and it will quote a price for you.

Questions buyers ask next

Do I have to message before ordering an unlisted cushion size?

Not always. For a size close to a listed one, order the nearest option and write your exact size in the note. For anything further off, message first so your size can be added or quoted.

What if my cushion is bigger than the largest listed size?

Select the largest option and write your real size, or upload a drawing, and the cushion is made to it. Oversize pieces may get their own option or be priced as two units, yet still be sewn as one piece on request.

Can a rectangular cushion listing be made square?

Yes. One buyer ordered the nearest listed size, 19¾ x 23½ in (50 x 60 cm), and had it made square at 22 x 22 in (56 x 56 cm). For bigger changes, ask for your size to be added.
