# Does the floor cushion set come with the backrest and the two round armrests?

*Four pieces, one price. Some questions have a long answer, my friend, and some have a short one. This is a short one.*

Also asked as: Do these come with the order or separately?; Does it include the two cylinder-shaped armrests?

> **The quick answer:** Yes: the floor cushion set price covers the seat cushion, the backrest and two round bolster armrests, so nothing has to be bought separately. You choose only the size and the color. The size you pick is the seat size, so an 18 x 48 in (46 x 122 cm) set is an 18 x 48 in seat plus the backrest and both armrests.

## Reading the size on the listing

| Listed size | What it measures | What comes with it |
|---|---|---|
| 18 x 48 in (46 x 122 cm) | The seat cushion | Backrest and 2 round armrests |
| Any size on the menu | Always the seat | Backrest and 2 round armrests |

## Why the size names the seat

The seat is the piece that meets your floor, so it is the one the listing measures. When you read 18 x 48 in, picture that seat alone on the rug, then set the backrest behind it and a round bolster at each side. The old saying in my trade holds here too: buy the cushion once, cry once. A set that arrives whole spares you chasing a matching back later.

For the rest of the family, see [floor cushions](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/floor-cushions/) and the [tufted floor couch set sizes](https://cushionguide.com/guides/tufted-floor-couch-set-sizes/). The [armrest bolster](https://cushionguide.com/glossary/#armrest-bolster) entry explains the round arms, and [bolster pillows](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/bolster-pillows/) covers them sold alone.

How much wall do you have where the set will sit?

> **Tailor's margin:** On a floor cushion set the listed size is the seat: 18 x 48 in buys that seat plus a backrest and two round armrests.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** Does the floor cushion price include the backrest and those round armrests?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. The set price covers the seat cushion, the backrest and 2 round bolster armrests; just choose the size and color. An 18 x 48 in set, for example, is an 18 x 48 in seat plus the backrest and both armrests.

**A common question:** Does the floor couch come with the back cushion and the two side cushions, or are those extra?

**The workshop's answer:** The floor couch set comes with the backrest and two armrests. You only pick the color and the size.

**A common question:** What size corner floor cushion should I get, and can it be thicker?

**The workshop's answer:** Corner floor cushions come in sizes such as 40 x 40 in (102 x 102 cm) and 48 x 48 in (122 x 122 cm), priced by side length; 40 x 40 in suits two toddlers. Standard tufted thickness is 4 in (10 cm), with 5-6 in or even 10-12 in made to order.

**A common question:** Can a tufted floor cushion be made round, or really big?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes, in almost any size or shape, round included: send your size and you get a purchase link. Very large one-piece cushions, around 84 x 59 1/2 in (214 x 151 cm), can't be tufted, so they're made foam-filled and untufted.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Are the armrests on a floor couch set round or square?

Round. The set's two armrests are round bolsters, one for each side of the seat, and they come in the same color you choose for the seat and the backrest.

### Does the listed floor cushion set size include the arms?

No, it measures the seat. An 18 x 48 in set has an 18 x 48 in seat, and the backrest and round armrests are extra pieces beyond that measurement, so plan floor space for the bolsters too.

### Do I pay anything extra for the backrest on a floor couch?

No. The backrest and both round armrests are part of the set price, not add-ons. The only choices you make when ordering the set are the seat size and the color.
