The Cutting Table · a question, worked through
Do you give a discount when I order two or more cushions?
Usually, yes. The listing prices one cushion at a time; a set gets looked at as a set. Here's how that conversation tends to run.

The quick answer
Usually, yes: multi-piece orders have been quoted as one set, below the sum of the listing prices, trapezoid pieces included. The saving grew with the number of pieces: small on two large cushions, larger on sets of four to ten. Returning customers have been offered lower prices on follow-up orders. The agreed total arrives as a custom purchase link.

Have Harlan’s workshop cut this for you
Old upholsterers will tell you the real cutting happens in the conversation, long before the shears come out. Tell the workshop what you sit on, and they will talk it through with you. — Harlan
Leave your details and the workshop will call you to confirm measurements, fabric, foam and piping. No prices, dates or payment on this page: it is a request, not an order.
“Is there a discount if I buy the set?”
Usually. One cushion is priced by size right on the listing, and you see the number when you pick your size. Two or more get a custom quote, and in past set quotes that total came in under the sum of the single prices.
A seam is a promise, and so is a set price. Pairs save the least; four to ten pieces is where the quote moves. How many pieces are on your list, my friend?
How past set quotes compared
| Order | Against the single listing prices |
|---|---|
| Two large cushions | A little under two singles |
| Four to ten cushions | Where set quotes moved the most |
| Returning customer, follow-up order | Lower prices offered on back cushions and a second cover set |
| Shaped trapezoid pieces in the set | Counted the same way as straight ones |
“Two long corduroy benches, please”
A buyer in the US asked for two corduroy bench cushions, each 98 x 17.5 x 3 in (249 x 44.5 x 7.6 cm). Priced as a pair, each came in a few percent under its single listing price. Another past set, four linen cushions at 43 3/4 x 19 3/4 in (111 x 50 cm), was quoted well under four singles.
“How do I pay the set price?”
Send every piece at once
Sizes, fabric and piping for the whole set, straight and shaped. The quote checklist lists the rest, and more long seats live under bench cushions.
Get the custom purchase link
The shop sends one link at the agreed total.
Check the total at checkout
If it shows a different currency total, say so, and the shop updates the price to match the agreed amount.
A pair of large custom cushions saves a little; a set of four to ten has saved the most on a single quote.

Buyer questions
- A common question
Are your prices fixed, or do you quote sets?
The workshop's answerSingle cushions are priced by size range on the listing. For multi-piece sets the shop sends a custom quote, often below the individual total, with a custom purchase link; shaped cushions on the trapezoid listing are priced the same way.
- A common question
Is there a better price for a set of large cushions, or for a returning customer?
The workshop's answerOften, yes. A large L-shaped pair was offered a little under its two listing prices, and returning customers got lower prices on back cushions and a second cover set.
- A common question
Do several cushions together cost less?
The workshop's answerMulti-piece orders have usually come in at a lower total than the same pieces priced singly; a set of four linen cushions with burgundy piping and a banquette set both did. If checkout shows a different currency total, the shop updates the price to the agreed amount.
- A common question
Will the sale price still be there if I order in a week or two?
The workshop's answerIt depends on the sale's end date, which the listing shows. If a sale has ended before you order, message the shop anyway: expired sale prices have been reactivated for some buyers.
Questions buyers ask next
Is there a minimum number of cushions for a set price?
Not a firm one. One reply mentioned three cushions or more, yet a pair of large pieces has still come in slightly under two singles. Sets of four to ten have saved the most.
Do I need a discount code for a set price?
No. Set savings come as a custom quote and a purchase link at the agreed total, not as a code, and there are no newsletter sign-up codes either. Ask for the set quote in your first message.
Can I add cushions after my first order?
Yes. Returning customers have been offered lower prices on follow-up orders, such as back cushions or a second cover set. Quoting everything together at the start has still saved more on sets of four to ten.
