The fourth number, how many pieces, is where the real engineering happens.* Also asked as: Do you do made-to-measure tufted cushions?; Can the French velvet tufted cushion be taller? > **The quick answer:** Yes: tufted floor cushions are made to your custom length, width and height, and the workshop quotes each size on its own. The standard French tufted height is about 4.75 in (12 cm) and can go higher. Very long seats are split into equal pieces, such as a 122 in (310 cm) window seat made as two 61 in (155 cm) cushions. ![Gray corduroy corner floor cushion under a gray canopy with pink flower, star and cloud pillows, ringed rug, plush elephant](https://cushionguide.com/media/corner-floor-cushions/gray-corduroy-corner-floor-cushion-nursery-canopy-1536.webp "Soft gray corduroy lets the blush flower pillow and the gray-and-cream rug carry the color in this calm nursery corner.") ## Key facts - Tufted cushions are made to custom length, width and height. - Standard French tufted height is about 4.75 in (12 cm) and can be increased. - Tufting is handwork, so confirm production and delivery times for custom tufted pieces in writing before you order. - Long tufted seats are split into equal pieces: 122 in (310 cm) became 2 x 61 in (155 cm). - Armrests can be added to both ends of each piece. - Fully tufted cushions can vary 1-2 in (2.5-5 cm) from the ordered size. - Fabric colors are chosen by number from the chart. ## The numbers a tufted quote needs 1. **Length**, end to end, in inches. 2. **Width**, front to back. 3. **Height:** about 4.75 in (12 cm) is standard; ask for more if the cushion will work as a couch. 4. **Pieces:** one, or equal pieces for a long seat. 5. **Armrests:** none, one end, or both ends of each piece. 6. **Color number** from the chart, such as #14. ## Height, lead time and the tolerance on a tufted top Tufted cushions are made to your length, width and height. A 79 x 39 in (200 x 100 cm) tufted cushion has been quoted at extra height for a buyer who wanted a couch, not a floor seat. Send your sizes and the workshop sends a purchase link. One number to plan around, partner: fully tufted cushions can vary 1-2 in (2.5-5 cm) from the ordered size. Tolerance is kindness to your future self, so leave that room between two walls. The [size tolerance Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/custom-cushion-size-tolerance/) covers it, [one piece or two](https://cushionguide.com/guides/long-bench-cushion-one-piece-or-two/) covers the split, and the shapes live under [floor cushions](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/floor-cushions/). ## A 132-inch velvet seat, cut in half on purpose A buyer in the US wanted one tufted velvet seat about 33 x 132 in (84 x 335 cm), with a 30 in (76 cm) high back cushion. The workshop suggested two pieces of 33 x 66 in (84 x 168 cm) instead of one long cushion. Each piece could carry armrests on both ends, four in total, and the order went in by picking the 33 x 66 in size twice, in color 11. A window seat went the same way: 29 x 122 in (74 x 310 cm) became two tufted linen cushions of 29 x 61 in (74 x 155 cm), color #14, shipped the next day. How long is your seat, end to end? > **Tailor's margin:** Split a long tufted seat into equal pieces: a 122 in (310 cm) window seat became two 61 in (155 cm) tufted cushions. > A French tufted cushion is about 4.75 in (12 cm) tall as standard, and it can be made taller when the cushion has to work as a couch. > > — Nate ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Can the French tufted velvet cushions be made taller than 4.75 inches? **The workshop's answer:** Yes. French tufted cushions are made to custom length, width and height; a 79 x 39 in (200 x 100 cm) cushion at extra height has been quoted for use as a couch. **A common question:** Do you make tufted cushions to measure? **The workshop's answer:** Yes. Send your sizes and the workshop sends a purchase link. Pallet cushions of 75.5 x 36 in (192 x 92 cm) and 75 x 31.5 in (190 x 80 cm) were made this way; that order took about a week to make, plus 3-5 days of delivery. **A common question:** My window seat is 29 in deep and 122 in long. Could it be tufted in two or three pieces? **The workshop's answer:** Yes. Two tufted linen cushions of 29 x 61 in (74 x 155 cm) each covered the 122 in (310 cm) seat, with the fabric picked by color number. The order shipped the next day and delivery took 3-5 days. **A common question:** What's the longest cushion you'll make in one piece? **The workshop's answer:** One piece is usually possible on request; cushions of 104 in, 118 in (3 m) and 138 in have been made. The workshop still recommends about 79-91 in (200-230 cm) per piece and often suggests two equal pieces for easier shipping and handling. ## Questions buyers ask next ### How tall is a standard French tufted cushion? About 4.75 in (12 cm). It can be made taller on request, which buyers ask for when a tufted cushion will serve as a low couch rather than a floor seat. ### Will my tufted cushion measure exactly what I ordered? Close, not exact. Fully tufted cushions can vary 1-2 in (2.5-5 cm) from the ordered size, since each button draws the fabric in a little. Allow for that when the cushion has to fit between two walls. ### Can each piece of a split seat have its own armrests? Yes. When a long velvet seat was made as two 33 x 66 in (84 x 168 cm) pieces, each piece could take armrests on both ends, four in total, so the pair works together or apart. ## Related at the atelier - [What size is the floor couch shown in the listing photos?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/floor-couch-listing-photo-size/): The floor couch in the main listing photos is 28 x 56 in (71 x 142 cm): a seat cushion with its backrest and two round bolsters. - [Can you make one extra large floor cushion, like 59 x 59 in?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/giant-floor-cushion-one-piece-or-split/): An extra large floor cushion is not made as one single piece; it is split into two halves that push together. - [Can you make a floor cushion or floor mattress in a custom size and thickness?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/custom-size-floor-mattress-cushion/): Yes: floor cushions and floor mattresses are made to any length, width and thickness, with firm fill if you want it. - [Floor seating for real evenings: cushions, corner seats and low sofas](https://cushionguide.com/guides/floor-seating-ideas/): Floor seating comes in five common forms: a tufted floor cushion about 4 in high, a 34 x 34 in corner floor cushion, a tufted set with a 16 in backrest and two bolsters, a kids' floor sofa about 8… - [Tufted bench cushion or plain?
