The Cutting Table · compared on the table
Do you give a discount if I order several cushions at once?
Also asked as:Is there any chance for a small discount?A discount for the complete order?
Often, yes, and the trick is in how you ask. One list, every size, one quote.
SaveThe quick answer
Usually, yes: several cushions ordered together have been quoted at one package price instead of the sum of the single listings. Send the full list of sizes, fabrics and quantities in one message. The reduction varies by quote; check whether shipping is included. In past cases no extra bulk discount went on top of a store-wide sale already at its maximum.

Have it made
Have Maggie’s workshop cut this for you
I once cut a lovely cushion two inches short, and I have not forgotten it. That is why the workshop goes over your measurements with you on the phone. — Maggie
Leave your details and the workshop will call you to confirm measurements, fabric, foam and piping. No prices, dates or payment on this page: it is a request, not an order.
How to ask for a package price
List every cushion
Length, width and thickness, fabric code and quantity for each. The quote Pattern has a template.
Ask for one quote
The workshop prices the whole list, not each listing separately.
Name your date
Need them before the patio season? Put the date in your message and ask whether it can be met.
Coming back for more?
Say so. A returning buyer's follow-up order was reduced as well.
Why one list beats five messages
Right, then. Picture a buyer who asks about one cushion, then another, then three more. Each answer is a single price, and nobody sees the whole order until the end, dear, least of all the buyer.
Put everything in one message and the workshop quotes it as one package. That is where the saving lives. Ask whether shipping sits inside the total, and get that in writing. It suits a set of outdoor cushions especially well, and the patio replacement cushions Pattern helps you measure the lot in one afternoon.
One honest limit: in past cases, when a store-wide sale was already at its maximum, nothing extra went on top. How many seats are you covering this season?
Eleven terrace chairs and a July deadline
A buyer wrote in about eleven chair cushions for a terrace, each 15.75 x 18 x 2 in (40 x 46 x 5 cm), with double piping and ties. The workshop quoted all eleven as one package with a bulk discount, and confirmed delivery by mid-July in the same reply.
Order your custom cushions as one list and the package price has come in under the combined list price; check whether shipping is inside it.

Buyer questions
- A common question
Do you give a discount if I order several cushions together?
The workshop's answerUsually, yes: multi-piece orders have been given package prices. Five outdoor seat cushions at 31.5 x 31.5 x 3 in (80 x 80 x 8 cm) plus five bolsters came in well under the combined list price. When a store-wide sale was already at its maximum, no further discount was added.
- A common question
Is there a better price if I send you the whole order at once?
The workshop's answerYes. Send the full list of sizes and ask for one package price. Package quotes have covered outdoor seat pads with a bench seat and backrest, nine outdoor cushions, and an L-shaped chaise cushion with seat and softer back cushions. Ask whether shipping is in the total. A returning buyer's follow-up order was reduced as well.
- A common question
Is there a discount on eight velvet seat cushions?
The workshop's answerIn past cases, yes: eight 17 x 18 in (43 x 46 cm) velvet seat cushions were offered below the per-piece total, and four corduroy lounge chair cushions with ottomans came down as well.
- A common question
What foam and fabric do you use for commercial seating?
The workshop's answerCommercial cushions use 2.0 lb/ft³ (32 kg/m³) high-density foam as standard and contract fabrics rated 40,000 Martindale. Send the quantity, sizes and type of space for a proposal, and ask for the production time.
Questions buyers ask next
How many cushions do I need to order for a package price?
From as few as two pieces: a seat and back pair has been priced together. Larger orders have generally seen a bigger reduction, and a ten-piece outdoor set came in well under its list total. The quote shows the exact figure.
Can a bulk discount be combined with a store sale?
Not in past cases where the store-wide sale was already at its maximum; no extra bulk discount went on top. Ask for a package quote anyway and compare it with the sale total before you order.
Do I get package pricing again on a second order?
Often, yes: a returning buyer's follow-up order was reduced as well. Send the new list of sizes, fabrics and quantities and mention your earlier order when you ask.
