A business order is a home order repeated, with a deadline attached. Get the list right and the rest follows.
The quick answer
Yes, floor sofa sets can be made in bulk for a cafe, shop, catering business or playroom, in custom sizes, and multi-set orders are priced per project. One order of five matching seat-and-backrest sets came in below the single-set price. Ask for production and delivery times in writing with the quote, and confirm any fixed deadline before you order.

Have Maggie’s workshop cut this for you
I once cut a lovely cushion two inches short, and I have not forgotten it. That is why the workshop goes over your measurements with you on the phone. — Maggie
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.
The list a trade quote needs
- Every piece by type: seat, backrest, armrests, single seats.
- Every size in inches, and how many of each.
- One fabric code and one piping choice for the whole order.
- Your hard deadline, if there is one. It can be confirmed before you pay.
- Your budget, if you buy professionally. You may be asked for it.

A shop's seating corner in two sets
A shop owner wanted a seating area for customers: two floor sofa sets, one about 76 x 26 in (192 x 67 cm) and one about 50 x 26 in (128 x 67 cm), each with a floor cushion, a backrest and two armrests. The quote came back as one figure with shipping included, and the sets were ready in 10 days.
- Measured
- 6.3 x 2.2 ft and 4.2 x 2.2 ft (about 76 x 26 in and 50 x 26 in)
- What it taught
- Name every piece in each set, and the quote comes back whole.
Why a bigger floor sofa order isn't automatically cheaper per piece
Here's the part that surprises people, dear. The five identical sets came down more per set than the twenty-piece mixed order came down overall. I won't pretend to know every reason behind every quote, but the matching sets came out best.
For fabric, wear and cleaning on a busy floor, read cushions for cafes, rentals and offices before you choose, and tufted floor couch set sizes for the pieces themselves. Seat sizes and fills are in floor cushions and floor seating.
Five matching floor sofa sets came down more per set than a twenty-piece mixed order did.

Buyer questions
- A common question
Do you offer trade pricing for several floor sofa sets?
The workshop's answerOften, yes: it's agreed per quote. One order of five sets of a 28 x 30 x 8 in seat plus backrest came in below the single-set price. Professional buyers are also asked for their budget, so have a number ready.
- A common question
Is there a bulk discount on tufted floor couches, and can you meet a delivery deadline?
The workshop's answerIn one case, yes on both. A catering business ordered 5 two-seat and 5 three-seat couches with armrests plus 10 single seats; the regular price came down, and delivery before its deadline was confirmed before the order went in. Large orders are usually talked through by phone or messaging app.
- A common question
I'm an interior designer. Is there a trade discount?
The workshop's answerThere's no fixed trade program. Designer pricing is agreed per project, and a designer's first order has been quoted below the regular price. Swatch sets can go to your studio, so you can pick codes with the client.
Questions buyers ask next
How long does a bulk floor sofa order take?
The workshop confirms production and delivery times with each quote. One five-set order allowed about a week of processing plus about 4 days of delivery. If you have a fixed date, name it before you order so the quote can be checked against it.
Do business quotes include shipping?
The shop seating set quote did: it came back as one figure with shipping included. That was one quote, so check the shipping line on yours.
Does every set need armrests?
No. Sets come as seat and backrest, with or without two armrests, and one order can mix two-seaters and three-seaters with armrests and single seats without.
