# How much does a custom cushion cost if my sizes are in centimeters?

*Some folks measure in inches, some in centimeters, and one of my neighbors measured her swing in hand-spans. The price only cares about the size.*

Also asked as: Price for a custom 19¾ in (50 cm) x 63 in (160 cm)?; Quote for 110¾ in (281 cm) x 39¼ in (100 cm)?

> **The quick answer:** A custom cushion measured in centimeters is priced exactly like one measured in inches: pick the size range on the listing that covers your measurements and the price appears, or send the sizes for a quote. Quotes are in US dollars, and the workshop confirms shipping cost with each one. Thickness moves the price most at the extremes, so give length, depth and thickness together.

## Key facts

- Metric sizes are priced by size range, the same way as inch sizes.
- Quotes are in US dollars; the workshop confirms shipping cost with each one.
- The same 40 x 21 in (101 x 53 cm) footprint cost more than four times as much at 20 in (50 cm) thick as at 2 in (5 cm).
- Quoted metric sizes ran from 37 1/2 x 10 in (95 x 26 cm) pads to 133 x 22 in (337 x 56 cm) benches.
- Long metric benches can be quoted with a non-slip base.
- Floor cushions can be quoted with a pair of bolsters.
- A tufted 64 x 18 in (162 x 45 cm) cushion was quoted from its metric sizes.

## From a metric tape to a price

1. **Measure all three numbers**: Length, depth and thickness, all in centimeters. Don't mix units in one note.
2. **Find the size range that covers them**: The listing shows the price as soon as you pick it.
3. **Or send the sizes for a quote**: Quotes come in US dollars, with the shipping cost for your address in the same message.
4. **Add the extras to the same quote**: A non-slip base under a long bench cushion, or a pair of bolsters with a floor cushion.

## Metric sizes the workshop has priced

| Inches | Centimeters | What the quote covered |
|---|---|---|
| 37 1/2 x 10 in | 95 x 26 cm | A small pad |
| 64 x 18 in | 162 x 45 cm | A tufted cushion |
| 42 x 37 1/2 in | 107 x 95 cm | A velvet floor cushion plus two bolsters |
| 111 x 39 in | 281 x 100 cm | A large linen cushion |
| 133 x 22 in | 337 x 56 cm | A long bench cushion with a non-slip base |

## Thickness is the quiet price-setter

Folks expect length to drive the price, and it does. The surprise is thickness. One footprint, 40 x 21 in (101 x 53 cm), was quoted at 2 in (5 cm) thick; the same footprint at 20 in (50 cm) would have cost more than four times as much. So put all three numbers in your first message, neighbor, and the quote you get back will match the cushion you want.

The [quote checklist](https://cushionguide.com/guides/custom-cushion-quote-what-to-send/) lists what else to send, the [measurements Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/cushion-measurements-length-depth-thickness/) keeps depth and thickness straight, and the [bench cushion builder](https://cushionguide.com/studio/bench-cushion-builder/) lets you try proportions before you ask. More finished pieces live in [bench cushions](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/bench-cushions/). What does your bench measure, in whichever unit your tape speaks?

> **Tailor's margin:** A custom cushion measured in centimeters costs the same as one in inches; the price follows the size range, and thickness can multiply it.

> The same 40 x 21 in cushion cost more than four times as much at 20 in thick as at 2 in; thickness drives a custom cushion quote.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** Can you quote a price for my custom rectangular cushion?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes, and the same price shows on the listing when you select the size range. A 40 x 21 x 2 in (101 x 53 x 5 cm) cushion was quoted that way, and a 133 x 22 x 2 in (337 x 56 x 5 cm) bench with a non-slip base came already discounted.

**A common question:** What would a metric cushion cost, say 19¾ x 63 in (50 x 160 cm) or 69 x 23½ in (175 x 60 cm)?

**The workshop's answer:** Metric sizes are quoted the same way as inches, and the workshop confirms shipping cost with each quote. Quotes have covered 63 x 20 in (160 x 50 cm) in linen, a 69 x 23 1/2 in (175 x 60 cm) bench, a 39 1/2 x 21 in (100 x 54 cm) box-top cushion, and a velvet floor cushion with two bolsters added.

**A common question:** What if my exact size is bigger than the size option I paid for?

**The workshop's answer:** Small gaps of about 3 to 5 inches are absorbed. Bigger ones are settled with a top-up payment link before production starts, or you add a second order, reorder in the right range, or keep the standard size.

**A common question:** Why does an angled or rounded-corner cushion cost more than a rectangle?

**The workshop's answer:** Labor, not fabric. Angled sides and rounded corners take much longer to cut and sew, so they're priced like trapezoids; one window seat cost about twice a similar rectangle. A simple notch or cut-out adds far less labor.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Do I need to convert centimeters to inches before asking for a price?

No. Metric sizes go through the same size ranges as inch sizes, and quotes have been given straight from centimeters, like 69 x 23½ in (175 x 60 cm). Just keep all three numbers in one unit.

### Is shipping added on top of a custom cushion quote?

It depends on the quote. Quotes are given in US dollars, and the workshop confirms the shipping cost for your address with each one, so check that line before you pay.

### Can a non-slip base or bolsters go on a metric quote?

Yes. A 133 x 22 in (337 x 56 cm) bench cushion was quoted with a non-slip base, and a 42 x 37 1/2 in (107 x 95 cm) velvet floor cushion was quoted with a pair of bolsters.
