It's a fair question, my friend, and the honest answer comes in three parts.* Also asked as: Could you offer a discount?; When is your next sale? > **The quick answer:** Custom cushion discounts do happen, and the most reliable one is a set price for several pieces ordered together. Read the listing first, because a running sale is already taken off the price you see. An expired sale was switched back on for a buyer who missed it, and a tight budget has had a quote adjusted once. ![Sage and white striped cushions on a teak armless sofa and matching lounge chairs around a teak coffee table](https://cushionguide.com/media/outdoor-cushions/sage-stripe-teak-sofa-chair-pads-coffee-table-terrace-1600.webp "A whole teak seating group dressed in one sage stripe, from the long sofa to the single chairs.") ## Key facts - A listing may already show a sale price, so read the price tag before you ask. - Price follows size first, so settle the size before you compare quotes. - Orders of several pieces have received a lower set price. - An expired sale has been switched back on for a buyer who missed it; that was a courtesy, not a rule. - Three corduroy floor cushion sets were quoted a bulk price of their own. - A quote has been adjusted once for a tight budget. - Designer discounts have been turned down where the set price was already discounted. ## Read the price tag before you ask Look at the listing before you write. When a sale is running, it's already taken off the price you're looking at, so the first discount may be the one you have without asking. Sales come and go, and I won't pretend to know when the next one lands. Price follows size, not fabric, on most orders; velvet, linen and the cotton-type fabrics usually cost the same for the same cushion. Settle the size in the [bench cushion builder](https://cushionguide.com/studio/bench-cushion-builder/), then send what the [custom cushion quote Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/custom-cushion-quote-what-to-send/) lists. ## Follow-up: “Is there a deal if I get more than one?” Yes, and this is where the real savings live. Order several pieces together and the workshop quotes one set price for the lot. A floor sofa with four floor cushions, a three-set order and three straight backrests each came in under the separate prices, and three corduroy floor cushion sets got a bulk price of their own. Buy the cushion once, cry once. If you'll want the matching back cushion, or the [outdoor cushions](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/outdoor-cushions/) for the chairs too, put them in the same quote. ## Follow-up: “I missed the sale. Is there a designer discount?” Say you missed it. An expired sale has been switched back on for a buyer who did, and on a genuinely tight budget a quote has been adjusted, once. It's a kindness, not an auction. A trade price is another matter. Designer discounts have been turned down where the set price was already discounted, and I think that's fair. A price that has come down twice has done its bending. > **Tailor's margin:** Before asking for a custom cushion discount, read the listing: when a sale is running, it is already in the price you see. > Ordering custom cushions together is the honest discount: a set of several pieces has come in under the separate prices. > > — Harlan ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Do you offer discounts? **The workshop's answer:** Check the listing first: when a sale is running, the price you see already has it taken off. Orders of several pieces have been quoted a lower set price, and on a tight budget a quote has been adjusted once. **A common question:** Is there a discount if I buy several pieces, or during a sale? **The workshop's answer:** For several pieces, often yes: a floor sofa with four floor cushions, a three-set order and three straight backrests each got a lower set price. During a sale, the listing price already carries it, so put everything in one quote rather than asking twice. **A common question:** I missed the sale. Can I still get that price, or a price for several sets? **The workshop's answer:** Sometimes. An expired sale was switched back on for one buyer who missed it, and three corduroy floor cushion sets got a bulk price of their own. A designer discount was refused where the set price was already discounted. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Does choosing velvet instead of linen raise the price? Usually not; price follows size. To bring a quote down, a lower velvet grade and a lower-density foam can be used instead, which brought one bench quote down noticeably. ### How much does a backrest add to a seat cushion order? It depends on how many pieces you add. A full set with one back cushion and two armrests costs well above the seat alone, because it is three more cushions of foam and sewing, while a single backrest adds less. The seat can also be bought alone, and one quote for both shows the difference. ### Can a custom cushion price be bargained down? Within limits. A quote has been adjusted once for a tight budget, and several pieces ordered together have been quoted a set price. Beyond that, the listed price is the price. ## Related at the atelier - [How much is a seat cushion with a matching back cushion?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/seat-and-back-cushion-set-price/): A seat cushion and its matching back are priced separately, each by its own size, so select the closest sizes on the listing to see both, then order them together. - [Does the cushion price include the back cushion, or just the seat?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/does-bench-cushion-price-include-back-cushion/): No, the bench cushion price does not include the back cushion: standard bench and outdoor listings price one seat cushion only, and any back cushion shown in listing photos is extra. - [Do you give a discount if I order several cushions at once?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/multi-cushion-order-discount/): Usually, yes: several cushions ordered together have been quoted at one package price instead of the sum of the single listings. - [Outdoor Bench Cushion Fastening: Ties, Non-Slip Base, Zipper](https://cushionguide.com/readings/saffron-terracotta-teal-basketweave-cushion-stack/): An outdoor bench cushion stays put in one of three ways: ties knotted around a slat, a non-slip base panel, or a snug fit with nothing added. - [Measuring rounded corners, oval wicker seats and bistro benches](https://cushionguide.com/guides/rounded-corner-cushion-measuring/): To measure a rounded corner cushion, write the full length and depth as if the corners were square, then measure how far from each corner point the curve begins along both edges. - [Patio Cushions for a Cane Loveseat in Cream Leaf Jacquard](https://cushionguide.com/readings/cream-leaf-jacquard-cane-loveseat-patio-cushions/): Outdoor cushions for a cane loveseat should fill the seat from arm to arm and have box-edged back cushions cut to stand upright against the woven back, so the sofa reads as fully upholstered. - [Outdoor cushion care: cleaning, drying and storing them for winter](https://cushionguide.com/guides/outdoor-cushion-care-winter-storage/) - [Waterproof outdoor cushions, honestly: fabric, seams, zippers and foam](https://cushionguide.com/guides/water-repellent-vs-waterproof-cushions/) *Sit well. — Harlan* --- Written by Harlan Pruitt (https://cushionguide.com/masters/harlan/) for CushionGuide (https://cushionguide.com/about/).
