The Cutting Table · a checklist answer

Can I buy just the daybed cover and back cushions, without bolsters or armrests?

Also asked as:Only the bed cover and the back pillows, not the round onesMy daybed does not have arms

A daybed with no arms has no use for armrests. The listing knows that too, mostly; the rest takes one message.

A cream knit poured over the espresso seat is the room's biggest contrast, and the beige piping echoes it at the edges.

The quick answer

Yes, you can order a daybed cover with back cushions only: choose the 'mattress cover with backrests' option, which leaves out the round bolsters. For a daybed with no arms, ask the workshop to switch on a slipcover-plus-backrests option without armrests. If a sale is on, compare it with the full set, which can still be the better value.

A real project

A trundle bed that only wanted its back

A buyer wrote in with a 35.5 x 75 x 10 in (90 x 190 x 25 cm) trundle-bed mattress and asked for only the bed cover and the back pillows, not the round ones. The workshop pointed to the 'mattress cover with backrests' option, flagged that the running sale made the full set worth a second look, and made the back cushions 12.5-13.5 in (32-34 cm) high.

Why the dropdown doesn't show every combination

Not every combination sits in the dropdown by default. The mattress-cover-with-backrests option is already there for anyone who wants the back without the round bolsters. A daybed with no arms is a different case: the workshop switched on a slipcover-plus-backrests option without armrests for a buyer in the US, and options enabled this way are quoted per order.

Before you buy parts in a sale, add up the full set too; with bolsters included it can still come out ahead. For the sofa look, see back cushions on a daybed; to size the backs, see back cushion height. More shapes live on the daybed cushions hub. Does your daybed have arms, dear, or only a back?

For a 10 in (25 cm) trundle-bed mattress, the daybed back cushions were made 12.5-13.5 in (32-34 cm) high; the backrests option leaves the round bolsters out.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Can I get the daybed slipcover with backrests only, no armrests?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. The workshop turned on a slipcover-plus-backrests option without armrests in the listing for that buyer and quoted it on its own.

  2. A common question

    I only want the mattress cover and the back cushions, not the round bolsters. Is that possible?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes, choose the 'mattress cover with backrests' option. If a sale is on, the full set can still be better value. For a 35.5 x 75 x 10 in (90 x 190 x 25 cm) trundle-bed mattress, the back cushions were made 12.5-13.5 in (32-34 cm) high.

  3. A common question

    Can I change the size or thickness after I've placed the order?

    The workshop's answer

    Usually, as long as production hasn't started and the fabric isn't cut. Message the new measurements or thickness; the workshop updates the order and confirms it in writing, including any price difference the new size brings.

  4. A common question

    Can I buy floor sofa seat cushions without the backrest?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Seat cushions plus the metal parts can be ordered without the backrest, and sofa owners can buy a replacement set of metal bars, 4 per sofa, through a private link.

Questions buyers ask next

How tall should daybed back cushions be?

It depends on the mattress. For a 10 in (25 cm) trundle-bed mattress, the workshop made back cushions 12.5-13.5 in (32-34 cm) high. Send your mattress thickness with the order so the backrest height can be set to match.

Is buying the parts always cheaper than the full set?

Not always. Each option is priced on the listing, but during a sale the full set, bolsters included, can come out as the better value. Compare both totals before you check out.

What if the option I need isn't in the dropdown?

Ask. The slipcover-plus-backrests option without armrests isn't always visible, and the workshop has switched it on in the listing for a buyer whose daybed had no arms. Options enabled this way are quoted per order.
