Every edge and both diagonals, to the nearest 1/4 in. If the numbers do not close, the workshop will say so on the call. — Nate
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.
Two ways to get one cut
Quote first
Send length x width x thickness and how many you need. The workshop replies with a quote for that exact set.
Or order off the listing
Open the chair cushion or bench listing, select the closest size, and write your exact size and thickness in Add Personalization. The typed size is the one that gets cut.
Why the fill is 2.0 lb/ft³ high-resilience foam
A chair cushion carries a full body on a small footprint, several times a day. So these are filled with 2.0 lb/ft³ (32 kg/m³) high-resilience foam, which stays firm and doesn't flatten for years. Measure twice; the fabric remembers, and so does the foam.
Comparing numbers from other makers? The foam density Pattern converts between the two units. The seat height calculator helps you pick a thickness, and the chair cushion builder lays out your seat before you send the numbers. The dining chair cushions hub has the rest of the chair range.
The vintage chair that sat too low
A buyer in the US had a vintage office chair that sat too low for the desk. The fix was a cushion, 17 x 18 in (43 x 46 cm), ordered through the bench listing or the chair cushion listing: pick the closest size option, then write the exact size and thickness in Add Personalization.
No new chair, partner. Just a cushion with the right numbers. How far below your desk does your seat sit?
Custom chair cushions start from three numbers and a count, length, width, thickness and how many, cut in 2.0 lb/ft³ high-resilience foam.

Buyer questions

The workshop's answerYes. Send the sizes and the shop will quote. It has, for example, custom-made two chair cushions at 19 1/4 x 18 1/2 in (49 x 47 cm).
- A common question
Could you make a 16 x 22 inch cushion for a wheelchair seat?
The workshop's answerYes, the shop can make it to those exact measurements, 16 x 22 in (41 x 56 cm).
- A common question
My vintage office chair is too low for my desk. Can a cushion raise it?
The workshop's answerYes, for example at 17 x 18 in (43 x 46 cm). Order through the bench listing or the chair cushion listing, select the closest size option and write your exact size and thickness in Add Personalization.
Questions buyers ask next
Can I give chair seat sizes in centimeters?
Yes. One pair of dining chair cushions was ordered at 19¼ x 18½ in (49 x 47 cm), about 19 1/4 x 18 1/2 in. Inches or centimeters both work, as long as length, width and thickness are all given in the same unit.
Will a firm chair cushion flatten after a year of daily sitting?
The 2.0 lb/ft³ (32 kg/m³) high-resilience foam used for chair cushions stays firm and doesn't flatten for years. It's the fill the workshop uses when a buyer asks for a firm, supportive replacement seat.
Do I need a special listing for a bar stool cushion?
No. Send the stool seat's size and the quantity for a quote, or order through the chair cushion or bench listing by selecting the closest size and writing the exact size and thickness in Add Personalization.
What size cushion fits a round bar stool?
Measure the seat's diameter edge to edge in two directions, and at the widest point if the seat is contoured. Stock round stool pads are about 13 to 14 in across, but seats vary, which is why a made-to-measure round pad is worth it. For bar and counter stools, 2 to 4 in of thickness is the usual range.
How does a cushion stay on a backless stool?
With ties to the legs or a grippy base. Four ties at the corners wrap the stool's legs or rungs, and some store pads use a drawstring skirt instead. On a smooth seat, a non-slip bottom panel, which grips by friction and leaves no residue, keeps the pad from creeping. Say which you want in the order note, since neither is added automatically.
