# Can you make a floor cushion to fit a specific spot, like a play tent, pallets or an L-shaped majlis?

*A floor cushion ought to fit the place it lives, not the other way around. Bring the numbers.*

Also asked as: Cushion for a kids' tent?; What size is a normal pallet?

> **The quick answer:** A made to measure floor cushion can be built for a kids' play tent, a pallet platform or L-shaped majlis seating, straight from your measurements. A 30 x 30 in (76 x 76 cm) cushion was made for a tent 30½ in (77.5 cm) across, and 40 x 48 in (102 x 122 cm) cushions fit standard pallets. Ask for the production time in writing.

## Key facts

- Floor cushions are made to fit specific spaces from your measurements.
- A 30 x 30 in (76 x 76 cm) cushion was made for a play tent 30½ in (77.5 cm) across.
- 40 x 48 in (102 x 122 cm) cushions are made to fit standard pallets.
- L-shaped majlis seating is made in custom sizes from measurements and a layout picture.
- Production time, delivery time and the shipping cost to US addresses come with the quote.
- A first quote can be followed by a lower final offer.

## What to send, spot by spot

- ✓ Play tent: the floor, measured across on the inside.
- ✓ Pallets: how many, and how they sit together. A standard pallet is 40 x 48 in (102 x 122 cm).
- ✓ Majlis: the length of each wall run, plus a picture of the L-shaped layout you want.
- ✓ The room it's for, such as a playroom or a meditation room.

## From tape measure to front door

1. **Send the measurements**: Add a layout picture for majlis seating.
2. **Get a quote and a custom purchase link**: A first quote can come down in a final offer, as the play-tent quote did.
3. **Production, timed in the quote**: Each cushion is cut and sewn to your numbers.
4. **Delivery and dates, with the quote**: The workshop confirms the shipping cost to US addresses with your quote.

## Why the tent cushion is a shade smaller than the tent

Look at the play tent, my friend. The floor measured 30½ in (77.5 cm) and the cushion was made at 30 in (76 cm), a little over half an inch under. A cushion a touch small lies down flat and stays put; one a touch large rides up the walls and never settles. A seam is a promise, and so is a fit.

Pallets are easier: the common US pallet is 40 x 48 in, so the cushion takes that footprint and sits square on the wood. See [pallet sofa cushions](https://cushionguide.com/concepts/pallet-sofa-cushions/) and the [zabuton and meditation cushion](https://cushionguide.com/guides/zabuton-meditation-floor-cushion-size/) Pattern, and the wider family under [floor cushions](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/floor-cushions/). How deep do you like to sink when you sit on the floor? The [floor cushion thickness Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/floor-cushion-thickness-guide/) helps you decide.

> **Tailor's margin:** A floor cushion for a standard pallet is made at 40 x 48 in, the common US pallet footprint, so the cushion sits square on the wood.

> A play-tent floor cushion is made just under the tent floor: 30 x 30 in for a tent that measures 30½ in across.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** Can you make a cushion to fit inside my kids' play tent?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. A 30 x 30 in (76 x 76 cm) cushion was made for a tent 30½ in (77.5 cm) across, and the first quote was followed by a lower final offer.

**A common question:** Could you make cushions to sit on standard pallets in a meditation room?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes, 40 x 48 in (102 x 122 cm) cushions are made to fit standard pallets, the common US footprint, so they sit square on the wood. Give the number of pallets and the thickness you want, my friend, and the quote lists production time and shipping cost.

**A common question:** Do you make L-shaped majlis floor seating?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes, majlis seating is made in custom sizes. Send your measurements and a picture of the layout you want.

**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, including round: send your size for a purchase link. Very large one-piece cushions, around 84 x 59 in (214 x 151 cm), can't be tufted and are made foam-filled and untufted instead.

## Questions buyers ask next

### How is a made-to-fit floor cushion priced?

Each one is quoted from your measurements and sent as a custom purchase link. First quotes can move: the play-tent cushion's price came down in a final offer, so confirm every detail before you pay.

### How soon does a custom floor cushion arrive in the US?

It is making time plus delivery after dispatch, and both shift with the season, so the quote states them along with the shipping cost. A clear finished size, like the 30 x 30 in (76 x 76 cm) play-tent cushion, lets cutting start without back-and-forth; majlis layouts are quoted first, from your measurements and a layout picture. Leave a margin before any date that matters.

### Can the corduroy bean bag chair be ordered smaller?

No. The round corduroy bean bag chair is about 43 in (109 cm) across, weighs about 22 lb (10 kg) and comes in one standard size only; smaller or custom sizes aren't made.
