# How much is a custom daybed or twin-size floor mattress cushion?

*Big cushions are priced like sails, friend: by the cloth they carry. Here is how real quotes stacked up from twin to double, in proportion rather than dollars.*

Also asked as: Can we do a standard twin size mattress?; Twin XL mattress size in the linen?

> **The quick answer:** A custom daybed cushion is quoted by its size, and standard mattress sizes are fine: twin (38 × 73 in), twin XL (38 × 80 in) and a UK double, about 53 × 75 in (135 × 190 cm), have all been made. On past quotes, a double cost roughly twice a twin. Ask for processing and delivery times in writing with the quote.

## Real daybed and floor-mattress sizes, set against a twin

## Why the size decides the number

A [daybed cushion](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/daybed-cushions/) is a lot of foam and a lot of cloth, and the quote follows both. Price rises with length times width, though not one for one.

Rain doesn't negotiate. Prices, now and then, do: one large piece came down a little after the buyer asked. Two cushions quoted together have landed a little under two single orders.

For a daybed that takes daily wear, the workshop first asks whether you want [linen](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/linen-and-cotton-linen/) or [velvet](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/velvet/). What does your frame measure inside the rails? That number, not the mattress name, is what you send.

> **Tailor's margin:** A double-size daybed cushion cost roughly twice a 38 × 73 in twin in real quotes. Measure the frame before you assume a mattress name fits it.

> Twin, twin XL and double all work for a custom daybed cushion: 38 × 73 in, 38 × 80 in and 53¼ × 74¾ in (135 × 190 cm) have each been cut to order.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** How much for two custom daybed cushions, and how long does it take?

**The workshop's answer:** Two daybed cushions in the buyer's own sizes were quoted as one total. Processing and delivery times come with your own quote. For hard-wearing use, the workshop asked whether the buyer preferred linen or velvet.

**A common question:** Can you make a floor cushion in twin, twin XL or double mattress size?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. Twin 38 × 73 in was quoted, twin XL 38 × 80 in was added as an order option, and a UK standard double, 53¼ × 74¾ in (135 × 190 cm), was quoted for the cushion only, at roughly twice the twin.

**A common question:** What does a large daybed-size cushion cost?

**The workshop's answer:** It depends on size. Seat-only quotes ran from a 50 × 50 in square to 31½ × 95¾ in (80 × 243 cm). A 39¼ × 78¾ in (100 × 200 cm) piece was negotiated down a little, and 36 × 72 in and 38 × 75 in pieces sat close to a twin.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Is twin XL a standard daybed cushion size?

Yes. Twin XL, 38 × 80 in (97 × 203 cm), was added as an order option after buyers asked for it, so check the size menu first. Other sizes are quoted from your measurements.

### Which fabric holds up on a daybed used every day?

For hard-wearing use the workshop asks whether you prefer linen or velvet. Compare the [velvet](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/velvet/) and [linen](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/linen-and-cotton-linen/) families before you choose a color.

### How long until a custom daybed cushion arrives?

Processing comes first, then delivery after dispatch, and both times come with your quote. Leave a margin before any date that matters.
