# Can you make custom cushions for an outdoor daybed or double chaise lounge?

*Yes, to the half inch. The part people forget is telling the workshop how thick the back should be, separately from the seat.*

Also asked as: Custom double chaise lounge cushions?; Outdoor chaise back and seat cushion in a custom size

> **The quick answer:** Yes, seat and back cushions for outdoor daybeds and double chaise lounges are made to your exact sizes in weather-resistant outdoor fabric. One double chaise took a 51.5 x 49 in (131 x 124 cm) seat and a 51.5 x 35 in (131 x 89 cm) back. Order through the outdoor listing, pick from its charts, and give seat and back thickness separately in the notes.

## Two real outdoor sets, piece by piece

| Piece | Size ordered | Write in the notes |
|---|---|---|
| Double chaise seat | 51.5 x 49 in (131 x 124 cm) | Seat thickness |
| Double chaise back | 51.5 x 35 in (131 x 89 cm) | Back thickness, stated on its own |
| Daybed seat base | 88½ x 25½ in (225 x 65 cm) | Seat-base thickness |
| Daybed high back | 88½ x 25¼ in (225 x 64 cm) | Backrest thickness, stated on its own |

## Why the back needs its own number

A daybed or double chaise is two cushions doing two jobs. The seat carries weight. The back leans. Give each its own thickness in the order notes, or somebody has to guess, and guessing is how cushions end up wrong.

Order through the outdoor listing and pick your color from its charts. The cloth is the workshop's own weather-resistant outdoor fabric, built to live outside; the [outdoor fabric range](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/outdoor-acrylic/) shows how it behaves. Before you pull the tape across the hinge, read the [chaise and sunbed measuring Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/chaise-lounge-sunbed-cushion-size/). More shapes live in the [chaise and sunbed cushion Atlas](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/chaise-and-sunbed-cushions/).

Working to a date? Finalize the order fast. The sooner it's confirmed, the sooner production starts and the sooner it ships. When the season turns, the [winter storage Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/outdoor-cushion-care-winter-storage/) takes over.

## A daybed set with a deadline

A buyer got in touch needing seat and back cushions for an outdoor daybed by a set date. The seat base measured 88½ x 25½ in (225 x 65 cm) and the high back 88½ x 25¼ in (225 x 64 cm).

They finalized the order the same day. That let production start right away and the cushions ship promptly, ahead of the deadline. The workshop asked for one thing in the notes: the thickness of the seat base and the thickness of the backrest, both spelled out.

> **Tailor's margin:** Write two thicknesses in the notes, one for the seat base and one for the backrest; a single number on a two-piece daybed order leaves room to guess.

> A double chaise lounge cushion set is two sizes, not one: the 51.5 x 49 in seat and the 51.5 x 35 in back each need their own thickness.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** Can you make custom cushions for a double chaise lounge?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. Both pieces are made to your sizes, for example a 51.5 x 35 in (131 x 89 cm) back and a 51.5 x 49 in (131 x 124 cm) seat. Sunbrella itself isn't used; the workshop's own outdoor fabrics are weather-resistant and made for outdoor use, ordered through the outdoor listing and its charts.

**A common question:** I need seat and back cushions for an outdoor daybed by a certain date. Can you manage it?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. For an 88½ x 25½ in (225 x 65 cm) seat base and an 88½ x 25¼ in (225 x 64 cm) high back, finalizing the order the same day allowed production and prompt shipping before the deadline. Order through the outdoor listing and give the thickness for both pieces in the notes.

**A common question:** Do you have a striped fabric that can live outdoors?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. Outdoor stripes such as V-38 are water-repellent and UV-resistant. The cotton N-series stripes and the ticking stripes are indoor-only. Stripes shown in listing photos can be ordered even if they're missing from the chart.

**A common question:** Can you make marine-grade outdoor cushions with sealed seams and a mesh bottom?

**The workshop's answer:** Not as standard: covers use normal stitching and full zippers, with no sealed seams or mesh vents. For large premium projects the workshop has built with a mesh drainage base, UV-resistant thread, a concealed zipper and about 2.0 lb/ft³ (32 kg/m³) foam.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Can a chaise cushion have ties and skip the piping?

Yes. Outdoor cushions are made to any size and thickness, 6 in (15 cm) included, in water-resistant outdoor fabric. Piping is optional, and ties can go wherever you want them, such as the two corners of a long side.

### What should I send to get a quote for an outdoor daybed set?

A photo of the daybed or chaise and a drawing with every size marked, plus the seat and back thickness you want. Outdoor cushions are quoted per project, backs are priced separately from seats, and larger sets are often discounted.

### Can I choose any outdoor color for a custom daybed set?

Yes. Custom orders can be made in any color from the outdoor charts. Choose the code on the outdoor listing and write it into your order so the seat and the back come out of the same fabric.

### How thick should an outdoor daybed cushion be?

Thicker than a chair pad. One outdoor thickness guide puts daybeds at 5 to 8 in, while swing-bed cushions are commonly around 4 in. Outdoor quotes here start from 4 in (10 cm), and 6 or 8 in cushions are made on request at extra cost. Give the seat and back thickness separately, since a daybed back is often thinner than the mattress.
