# How much is a custom tufted bench or window seat cushion?

*The price follows the size. Choose the nearest option, write the real one, and the cushion is made to what you write.*

Also asked as: Quote for a custom cushion 84 L x 24 D; Can you quote a 14 x 34 bench cushion?

> **The quick answer:** A tufted bench cushion in a custom size is priced by its size on the tufted (French mattress) listing: choose the option closest to your measurements, then write your exact size and fabric color in Personalization. If your size is far from every option, message first for the right option or a custom link. The quote states the shipping cost; check it before you pay.

## Ordering a tufted size that isn't listed

1. **Pick the nearest size**: On the tufted listing, choose the option closest to yours.
2. **Write the real size**: Exact length, depth, thickness and fabric color go in Personalization. The color dropdown may be disabled, so the note is where color lives.
3. **Far from every option**: Message first. You'll be told which option to choose, or sent a custom link.
4. **Ask for the whole set at once**: For a daybed backrest with armrests, request one quote for the full set. One set was first priced piece by piece, then corrected.

## The option sets the price, the note sets the cushion

The tufted listing prices by size. Shipping is confirmed with the quote; ask for it in writing.

Long, thin pieces are priced mainly by length. Tufted linen and tufted velvet are quoted the same way, with colors from the [linen](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/linen-and-cotton-linen/) or [velvet](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/velvet/) chart. A single row of buttons down the center is possible. So is a small, very firm block.

The [tufted vs plain pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/tufted-vs-plain-cushions/) explains the look. The [bench cushions](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/bench-cushions/) atlas shows the shapes. What does your bench measure, end to end?

The option sets the price.
The note sets the cushion.
Both begin with a tape.

> **Tailor's margin:** For a tufted bench cushion in a custom size, pick the nearest listed size and write the exact inches in Personalization; the cushion follows the note.

> A tufted bench cushion is priced by its size, and long, thin pieces mainly by length; the exact inches go in Personalization.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** How do I order the tufted French mattress style in a custom size?

**The workshop's answer:** Order through the tufted (French mattress) listing, select the size closest to yours, and type the exact measurements and fabric color in Personalization; the color dropdown may be disabled. If your size is far from any option, message first.

**A common question:** Can you quote a tufted velvet cushion at 84 x 24 inches?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. An 84 in long x 24 in deep tufted cushion in high-quality velvet was quoted on request, and other sizes, such as 26 x 72 in, can be made too.

**A common question:** How are long, thin cushions or a small firm block priced?

**The workshop's answer:** Mainly by length. Tufted linen at 58 x 16 x 3 in and 110.5 x 20 x 3 in were quoted, and so was a very firm 29 x 6.5 x 6.5 in block. For a daybed, ask for backrest and armrests in one quote.

**A common question:** What does a custom tufted bench or window seat cushion cost?

**The workshop's answer:** It depends on size. Ask for shipping to be stated in the quote. Quotes have run from 14 x 34 in through 22 x 70 in velvet and 90 x 24 in, up to a 130 x 24 in bench at 4 in thick.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Can a tufted cushion have a zippered cover?

No. Tufted French-style bench cushions have no zipper; plain boxed foam cushions have zippered, removable covers. A tufted cushion can't get a replacement cover later, so it has to be remade.

### Can the buttons run in a single line?

Yes. A single row of tufted buttons down the center is possible. Write it in Personalization together with your exact size and fabric color.

### Do interior designers get a trade rate?

Case by case. One designer got a small extra reduction and better rates for ongoing work, while another was told a single-cushion quote was already the best rate. Mention the client and future work when you ask.
