The Cutting Table · a common question
Do you give a discount if I order a lot of cushions?
Also asked as:Any discounts for multiple items purchased together?Price for 6-8 cushions in total
A long list is a big trust, and the workshop answers it with a package quote. Here is how that number is reached.
The quick answer
Often, yes: bigger orders have been quoted as one package below the itemized total, sent as a custom link or as a partial refund after ordering. There is no fixed rate; the piece count, the fabrics and the extras drive the number. Send the full list with measurements, fabric and piping codes to start.

Have Harlan’s workshop cut this for you
Old upholsterers will tell you the real cutting happens in the conversation, long before the shears come out. Tell the workshop what you sit on, and they will talk it through with you. — Harlan
Leave your details and the workshop will call you to confirm measurements, fabric, foam and piping. No prices, dates or payment on this page: it is a request, not an order.
How a package price is put together
Send the whole list at once, my friend. Every piece with its measurements, its fabric code and its piping code. The workshop quotes each item first.
Then the order is looked at as one job: how many pieces, how many share a fabric, and which extras such as non-slip backing come along. Bigger and trade orders have been given a package price below the itemized total; there is no fixed percentage, and the quote shows the difference. It has reached buyers one of two ways: a custom link already set at the package price, or a partial refund once they had paid.
What bigger orders have come to
| The order | What the workshop did |
|---|---|
| More than 6 cushions | Part of the price refunded after the order |
| Ten outdoor cushion covers | One package price below the itemized total |
| Five-cushion kitchen bench set with non-slip backing | Quoted as one set below the single prices |
| Six mixed pieces | Rounded down to a flat package price |
| Four 16 x 16 in (40 x 40 cm) throw pillows | Sold together as a discounted set |
What goes in a bulk quote request
- Each cushion on its own line, with width, length and thickness
- The fabric code for every piece
- The piping code, or a note that you want none
- Extras such as non-slip backing
- The quantity of each, so the full count is plain
Why one cushion list beats several small orders
A bench cushion ordered in May and its pillows ordered in July are two small orders, each priced as singles. Buy the cushion once, cry once. If a patio set of outdoor cushions and a kitchen banquette are both on your mind, put them in the same message.
The quote checklist shows what to measure before you write. How many pieces are on your list?
Ten outdoor cushion covers ordered together were quoted as one package, and so was a five-cushion bench set with non-slip backing. The long list is what earns the better number.

Buyer questions
- A common question
Is there a discount if I order several cushions together?
The workshop's answerOften, yes. Send the full list with measurements, fabric and piping codes. The workshop quotes each item, then prices the whole list as one package. Six pieces were once rounded down to a flat package price, and a larger order got a partial refund after checkout.
- A common question
Do larger sets or trade orders get a better price?
The workshop's answerPast orders of more than 6 cushions got part of the price back as a refund after ordering. Trade orders have been discounted too: a banquette cushion and lumbar pillow set was offered below its item total, and two L-sofa toppers were quoted together.
- A common question
Is there a discount on a bigger order of outdoor covers?
The workshop's answerOften, yes: ten outdoor covers were quoted together below their itemized total. A five-cushion kitchen bench set with non-slip backing was priced as one set, and four 16 x 16 in (40 x 40 cm) pillows were sold together as a discounted set.
- A common question
Is there a price break on several small floor cushions?
The workshop's answerStandard 20 x 20 in (50 x 50 cm) squares are on the listing, and other sizes are quoted. Six squares were once quoted a little under the price of six singles. Meditation cushions are 4 in (10 cm) thick, so list the thickness you want with the sizes.
Questions buyers ask next
Does the bulk price stack with a sale?
It depends on the quote. Each item is priced first, and the package figure is worked out from that total, so nothing is counted twice. The quote shows the final number, either as a custom link or as a partial refund after you order.
Should I wait for Black Friday instead of asking for a bulk price?
Buyers who asked were told not to wait: a package quote on the full list is a surer route than timing a sale. Send the list, and the quote shows the number.
Do interior designers get package pricing for client orders?
Often, yes: larger and trade orders, including cushions for design clients, have been priced as one package below the itemized total. Send the complete list with sizes, fabric codes and piping codes so each piece can be quoted first.
