The Cutting Table · a question, worked through

Is the floor cushion sofa one piece, or are the back and arms separate?

Four cushions, not one. They sit together; they are not sewn together. Unless you ask.

The quick answer

The floor cushion sofa is four separate pieces: one seat cushion, one backrest and two armrest cushions, each made to your size, that simply sit together. Nothing is sewn on. If you want the pieces to stay put, ask for ties to fasten them to a bench or to each other, or hook-and-loop fastener to join them.

Four cushions that sit together

The floor cushion sofa is not one piece. It is four.

One seat cushion. One backrest. Two armrest cushions. Each is made to your size, and they sit together on the floor or on a bench. Nothing is sewn to anything.

Separate pieces can be lifted, turned and rearranged. A backrest can move to the other side of the room for an afternoon.

Will yours live on the floor, or on a bench?

The floor cushions hub shows the whole family, and tufted floor couch sets gives the usual sizes for seat, backrest and bolsters.

Then can the arms be fixed in place?

Yes, on request. The armrests are not sewn on, but the workshop can fix them.

Two ways. Ties, so the cushions can be tied to a bench or to each other. Or hook-and-loop fastener, so the pieces press together and hold. Write which one you want in the order note. Ties, non-slip bases and hook-and-loop compares them.

And what arrives with each listing?

What you orderWhat arrives
Floor cushion sofa setOne seat, one backrest, two armrest cushions, all separate
Cushion-only listingThe seat cushion alone
Thick linen tufted floor cushionThe seat with its back pillow
L-shaped floor couchTwo sets, arranged as separate pieces

And if my order doesn't match my question?

The workshop checks. If an order says cushion only but the message asked about a whole set, you will hear from them. A small conversation saves a long return.

Four pieces. Any arrangement. Ties for the days you want stillness.

The floor cushion sofa arrives as four cushions that sit together; none is sewn on unless ties or hook-and-loop are requested.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Does the floor cushion set with arms come as one piece or several?

    The workshop's answer

    Several: one seat cushion, one backrest and two armrest cushions, all made to your size. The armrests aren't sewn on, though they can be fixed if you ask. Cushion-only listings include just the seat.

  2. A common question

    Are the backrest and arm bolsters sewn to the seat, or do they just rest on it?

    The workshop's answer

    They rest on it; all the pieces are separate. On request the workshop adds ties so they can be tied to a bench or each other, or hook-and-loop fastener to attach them together.

  3. A common question

    Can I add just an ottoman to the floor sofa later?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. The 39 × 39 in (100 × 100 cm) ottoman is sold on its own, or with a straight or L-shaped backrest and bar, in your sofa's color. Buyers often add one months after the sofa.

  4. A common question

    What is the difference between an open and a closed corner?

    The workshop's answer

    A closed corner ends in an L-shaped backrest that wraps the end; an open corner ends in a straight backrest, open like a chaise. Ask for the open end in your order note.

Questions buyers ask next

Will the separate cushions shift apart on a hard floor?

They can, since nothing joins them by default. That is what the ties and hook-and-loop options are for: request them in your order note and the pieces are fastened to each other or to a bench.

Is each armrest made to a custom size as well?

Yes. The seat, backrest and both armrests are each made to the size you order, so the set reads as one arrangement even though every piece is separate.

How do I make an L-shaped floor couch from these cushions?

Order two sets and arrange them at a right angle as separate pieces. Each set brings its own seat, backrest and armrests, so the corner can be built the way the room needs.
