# Can you make one extra large floor cushion, like 59 x 59 in?

*Past a certain size, one slab of foam stops making sense. Two halves that push together can fold and put away, and the numbers below show exactly how the workshop splits them.*

Also asked as: 150 by 229 as one cushion?; Custom floor cushion, 84 by 92 inches

> **The quick answer:** An extra large floor cushion is not made as one single piece; it is split into two halves that push together. A 59 x 59 in (150 x 150 cm) floor mattress becomes two 29.5 x 59 in (75 x 150 cm) pieces, and an 84 x 92 in (213 x 234 cm) nook cushion becomes two 42 x 92 in pieces. You pay for two cushions.

## Key facts

- Very large floor cushions and floor mattresses are made as two pieces, not one.
- 59 x 59 in (150 x 150 cm) is made as two 29.5 x 59 in (75 x 150 cm) pieces.
- About 59 x 90 in (150 x 229 cm) is past single-cushion limits; it is made as two 29.5 x 90 in (75 x 229 cm) cushions that can be joined to fold.
- 84 x 92 in (213 x 234 cm) is made as two 42 x 92 in (107 x 234 cm) pieces, split front and back.
- A 50 x 75 in (128 x 190 cm) floor bed is made as two 25 x 75 in (64 x 190 cm) cushions.
- A 125 in (318 cm) bench cushion is also made in two pieces.
- A split cushion is priced as two cushions.

## Before you order a floor cushion this big

- ✓ Measure the full floor area, wall to wall, and write the unit beside every number.
- ✓ Decide which way the join runs; on a nook, a front-and-back split keeps it less noticeable.
- ✓ Write the finished size of each half, such as two 29.5 x 59 in (75 x 150 cm) pieces.
- ✓ Give one thickness for both halves; the 84 x 92 in nook set was 4 in (10 cm) thick.
- ✓ Say whether the halves must fold together or put away, as on a mezzanine bed.
- ✓ Budget for two cushions, because a split is priced as two.

## What won't come out as one piece

- ✗ One single 59 x 90 in (150 x 229 cm) cushion: it goes past single-cushion limits.
- ✗ A round floor cushion wider than 49 in (125 cm): 59 in (150 cm) across is too large.
- ✗ A split priced as one cushion: the order counts two.

## How the big sizes split

| Asked for | Made as | Why that way |
|---|---|---|
| 59 x 59 in (150 x 150 cm) floor mattress | Two 29.5 x 59 in (75 x 150 cm) | Push together into the full square |
| 59 x 90 in (150 x 229 cm) | Two 29.5 x 90 in (75 x 229 cm) | Past single-cushion limits; joined to fold |
| 84 x 92 in (213 x 234 cm) nook | Two 42 x 92 in (107 x 234 cm), front and back | The join is less noticeable |
| 50 x 75 in (128 x 190 cm) mezzanine bed | Two 25 x 75 in (64 x 190 cm) | Put away when not in use |
| 125 in (318 cm) bench | Two pieces | Long runs are split as well |

## Why two halves beat one slab

A floor cushion that wide is past what the workshop makes as a single piece, so it gets cut into two equal halves. Two equal pieces are also easier to ship and to handle at home. A 59 x 90 in (150 x 229 cm) request becomes two 29.5 x 90 in (75 x 229 cm) cushions that can be joined to fold.

Where the join falls matters, partner. On an 84 x 92 in (213 x 234 cm) nook, the halves were split front and back, so the line between them runs along the back wall and is less noticeable. On a mezzanine, two 25 x 75 in (64 x 190 cm) halves push together into a bed and put away separately.

Measure twice; the fabric remembers. Then check the height against the [floor cushion thickness Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/floor-cushion-thickness-guide/) and browse [floor cushions](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/floor-cushions/) for shapes. How wide is the floor you are covering?

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** Can you make one really long or wide cushion, like 125 inches, or 59 x 90¼ in (150 x 229 cm)?

**The workshop's answer:** Not as a single piece. A 125 in (318 cm) bench cushion is made in two pieces, and 59 x 90 in (150 x 229 cm) is past the limits, so it's made as two 29.5 x 90 in (75 x 229 cm) cushions that can be joined to fold. You pay for two cushions.

**A common question:** Could you make a plain 59 x 59 in (150 x 150 cm) floor mattress with a simple finish?

**The workshop's answer:** The workshop suggested making it as two 29.5 x 59 in (75 x 150 cm) pieces instead of one.

**A common question:** Can you make one giant 84 x 92 in floor cushion for our nook?

**The workshop's answer:** Not in one piece. It was made as two 42 x 92 in cushions, one front and one back, so the join is less noticeable. That set was 4 in thick and came with 3 lumbar pillows.

**A common question:** I need a floor mattress on a mezzanine that can be put away when nobody's using it. What are my options?

**The workshop's answer:** Two separate 25 x 75 in (64 x 190 cm) cushions that push together into a 50 x 75 in (128 x 190 cm) bed and can be put away.

## Questions buyers ask next

### How exact will each half be?

Sizes are made as written, not rounded, but a handmade cushion can vary by about 1/2 to 1 in (1 to 2.5 cm). Piping adds slightly to the outer size, so say if your total must include it.

### Should each half be ordered a little smaller than the floor space?

No. Give the exact size of the space; the workshop handles sewing allowances and makes cushions to the full dimensions, so a snug fit works. Go smaller only where you want a gap between cushions or a lid has to clear.

### Can a round floor cushion be made extra large instead?

Up to 49 in (125 cm) in diameter. Order the nearest listed size, such as 32 in for a 33 in round, and note your exact diameter. A 59 in (150 cm) round is too large to make.
