The piping can go. The corners stay square.* Also asked as: Can the ends NOT be piped?; A rounded pillow edge, like the original? > **The quick answer:** Yes, floor sofa cushions can be made without piping: write "no piping" in the order note and send a message afterwards, and the pillows come with plain-sewn ends. Rounded edges are not offered; the workshop makes square-edged pillows only and fills every piece firmly. ![Low floor sofa in oat velvet with rust velvet side bands, two back pads and an arm block on oak boards by a jute rug](https://cushionguide.com/media/modular-floor-sofas/oat-rust-velvet-floor-sofa-blush-living-room-1600.webp "A floor sofa built from separate pads: oat velvet on every face you sit on, rust velvet wrapped around the edges where scuffs usually show first.") ## Key facts - A no-piping finish with plain-sewn ends is available by order note. - Pillows are square-edged only, not rounded. - Every piece is filled firmly. - Fabrics other than corduroy cost slightly more. - Fabric covers for the chrome side bars are ordered separately. - Two teddy sofas can be combined into a corner in any color mix. - Gift items depend on stock and aren't part of the price. ## "Can the ends skip the piping?" Yes. Write *no piping* in the order note, then send a short message after checkout so the request is seen twice. The ends come [plain-sewn](https://cushionguide.com/glossary/#plain-seam). The edge of each cushion becomes a fold, not a cord. On a low [modular floor sofa](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/modular-floor-sofas/), that reads calmer. Fewer lines at eye level when you sit close to the floor. The [piping Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/cushion-piping-matching-contrast-none/) shows matching, contrast and none side by side. Which do you notice first in a room, the outline or the color? ## "And rounded corners, like the original?" No. The workshop is a separate company from the original designer, and it makes square-edged pillows only. It fills each piece firmly, so the fabric sits taut rather than loose. Square corners are not a lesser version. They are a different drawing. If rounded is the whole reason you want the sofa, it is better to know now. ## "What else can change?" - ✓ Fabrics beyond [corduroy](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/corduroy/), at a slightly higher price. - ✓ Fabric over the chrome sides; the bar covers are ordered separately. - ✓ Two teddy sofas joined into a corner, in any color mix. - ✓ Backrests, metal bars and single 39 x 79 x 6.5 in (100 x 200 x 17 cm) mattress modules, sold separately. ## "Can the gifts come off the price?" No. Gifts such as a dog bed or a pillowcase depend on stock and are not part of the price, so leaving them out does not lower it. The workshop also says it has fixed earlier issues with the metal bars. Plain seam. Square corner. Firm fill. > **Tailor's margin:** Sofa cushions without piping: write "no piping" in the order note and message after checkout; the ends come plain-sewn, the corners stay square. > A floor sofa without piping trades the cord line for a plain-sewn fold; the corners stay square and each piece is filled firmly. > > — Hana ## Buyer questions **A common question:** Can I customize the floor sofa: no piping, another fabric, or a corner layout? **The workshop's answer:** Yes. Pillows can have plain-sewn ends with no piping: write "no piping" in the order note and message afterwards. Fabrics other than corduroy carry a small extra charge, fabric over the chrome sides exists with bar covers ordered separately, and two teddy sofas can be joined into a corner in any color mix. **A common question:** Could the pillows have rounded edges and extra stuffing, like the original designer sofa? **The workshop's answer:** The workshop is a different company from the original designer and makes square-edged pillows only. It fills the pieces firmly and says it has fixed earlier metal bar issues. **A common question:** Can I buy only the backrests and bars and use my own mattress? **The workshop's answer:** Yes. Backrests, metal bars and single mattress modules of 39 x 79 x 6.5 in (100 x 200 x 17 cm) are sold separately, L-backrests can be sized to your own mattress, and foam and frame can be bought without covers. **A common question:** Can I extend my floor sofa into a three-seater or an L? **The workshop's answer:** Yes. The add-on ottoman ships with a straight backrest and a metal bar. Add it with a straight backrest for a three-seater, or with a corner backrest to make an L. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Is the order note enough to get plain-sewn ends? Send a message after ordering as well. The workshop asks for both, the note and a follow-up message, so the plain-sewn finish is caught before the covers are cut. ### Is corduroy the lowest-priced fabric for the floor sofa? Fabrics other than corduroy carry a slightly higher price, so corduroy is the lower-priced choice. Color is open either way, and two teddy sofas can even be combined into a corner in two different colors. ### Are the chrome side bars covered in fabric? They can be. A version with fabric over the chrome sides exists, but the bar covers are ordered separately from the sofa, so add them on purpose if you want no metal showing. ## Related at the atelier - [Does a floor sofa need to be against a wall, or can it stand in the middle of a room?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/floor-sofa-freestanding-against-wall/): The modular teddy floor sofa doesn't need a wall: metal bars run along both sides and behind the backrests, so it stands freely and you can lean back in the middle of a room. - [Are the floor sofa cushions attached, or will they slide apart?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/floor-sofa-cushions-attached-velcro-sliding/): Floor sofa cushions are not fastened to each other: there is no Velcro and there are no ties. - [Can I join two teddy floor sofas into an L-shaped corner sectional?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/two-floor-sofas-l-shaped-sectional/): Yes: order two of the same teddy floor sofa, together or the second one later, and the workshop sets them up as an L-shaped corner. - [Modular Floor Sofa in Cream Velvet with Raspberry Box Ends](https://cushionguide.com/readings/raspberry-cream-floor-sofa-japandi-oak-bench/): A modular floor sofa reads calmest with a box edge and no piping, because the seam between the cream seat and the raspberry end panels already draws the line. - [Modular Floor Sofa in Slate Blue: One Plain Among Patterns](https://cushionguide.com/readings/slate-blue-linen-look-floor-sofa-block-arms/): When you mix patterns around a modular floor sofa, keep the sofa itself plain and let the art and rug carry the pattern. - [How to raise floor sofa seat height, layer by layer](https://cushionguide.com/guides/floor-sofa-seat-height-raise/): A floor sofa seat sits about 13.5 to 14.5 in (34 to 37 cm) off the floor, and the simplest way to raise it is to add a layer. - [Corduroy modular floor sofas and cushions: wale size, nap direction, why no piping](https://cushionguide.com/guides/corduroy-cushions-wale-nap-direction/) - [Replacement covers for a floor sofa: fit, color change and single pieces](https://cushionguide.com/guides/floor-sofa-replacement-covers/) *— Hana* --- Written by Hana Lindqvist (https://cushionguide.com/masters/hana/) for CushionGuide (https://cushionguide.com/about/).
