Can I choose my own fabric, colors and piping for the Hemnes daybed set?

Corduroy is where the set starts. It is not where it has to stay.

White Hemnes daybed with navy and cream narrow-striped cotton mattress cover, back cushions and bolsters, oak floorSave
A narrow navy-and-cream stripe gives a white Hemnes daybed the crisp look of old-fashioned ticking. Self piping keeps the edges quiet so the stripe does the work.

The quick answer

Yes, a Hemnes daybed cover set can be made in velvet or linen as well as the default corduroy, with the cover and piping in any colors from the fabric charts. Different pieces can take different fabrics if you note which code goes where. The shop sends the right chart and confirms width, depth and thickness before quoting.

Seven checks before the cart

  1. Pick the fabric: corduroy by default, or velvet or linen.
  2. Find your colors on the charts in the 3rd and 4th listing images.
  3. Choose the piping color on its own. An off-white cover with forest green piping is a real order.
  4. For stripes, look at images 6, 7 and 8 of the linen bench cushion listing.
  5. Write which fabric code goes on which piece: back pillows, bolsters, mattress cover.
  6. Choose the option: armrests only, covers only, backrests only, or the full set.
  7. Read the cart price. It changes with the option.

Velvet on a Hemnes, and one stripe beside another

Velvet holds light on its surface. Linen is quieter and a little dry to the hand. Corduroy sits between them. The velvet and linen and cotton-linen pages show each one up close.

For velvet or linen, the shop sends that chart and asks for the exact width, depth and thickness of your cushions before quoting. Measure the mattress as it is; the Hemnes cover measuring pattern shows where.

Stripes can be layered. One buyer asked for a thin stripe on the back pillows and a thick stripe on the mattress cover. That works, as long as each code is named for its piece. The striped linens sit close to other brands' tones, but not identical.

Which piece do you want to be the quiet one?

Name the piece. Name the code. The rest follows.

On a Hemnes daybed set, a thin stripe can go on the back pillows and a thick stripe on the mattress cover, if each fabric code is named for its piece.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Can the cover and the piping be any colors I like? And why did the cart price change?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes, cover and piping can be any fabric chart color, such as off-white with forest green piping. The listing has armrests only, covers only, backrests only and full set options, and the price updates with the option, so check what's selected in the cart.

  2. A common question

    Could I do a striped daybed set, thin stripe on the back pillows and thick on the mattress cover?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. The striped options are in the 6th, 7th and 8th images of the linen bench cushion listing. Pick the codes and note which goes on the back pillows and which on the mattress cover.

  3. A common question

    Can the Hemnes set be made in velvet instead of corduroy?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes, the full set can be velvet. The shop sends its velvet chart and asks for the exact width, depth and thickness of the cushions before quoting.

  4. A common question

    Should I add a bit to my mattress size so the cover fits tight?

    The workshop's answer

    No. Give the exact mattress measurements. The workshop adds the seam and fit allowance itself, and padding the numbers makes the cover loose and crinkled.

  5. A common question

    Do I have to give sizes for the back pillows and bolsters too?

    The workshop's answer

    No. They're sized from your mattress cover measurements. Standard backrests are about 19 3/4 in (50 cm) tall, and other heights are possible.

Questions buyers ask next

Where are the fabric charts for the Hemnes daybed set?

In the 3rd and 4th images of the listing. For velvet or linen, the shop sends the relevant chart in messages, and the striped options sit in images 6-8 of the linen bench cushion listing.

Can one daybed set mix two different fabrics?

Yes. Different fabrics can go on different pieces of a set, as long as your order note says which fabric code goes on which piece, for example one code for the back pillows and another for the mattress cover.

Will the striped linens match another brand's stripe exactly?

Not exactly. The striped linens are similar to other brands' tones but not identical, so if you're matching an existing piece, compare fabric swatches in daylight before you order.
