# Can you quote my whole set of outdoor cushions as one bundle?

*Seat pads, backs, lounger pads and a stack of scatter pillows. Send the list once and get one number back, not a dozen.*

Also asked as: Quote for 17 cushions?; How much for the covers only?

> **The quick answer:** Yes: send a plan or list with the size of every piece, and the workshop prices the whole outdoor set as one bundle, below the sum of the individual pieces. The quote states the shipping cost, so name the destination: a far-off address has raised a bundle price. Covers only cost noticeably less; on one 17-piece set they came in about a quarter below the filled bundle.

## One 17-piece patio set, piece by piece

| Piece | Size | Count |
|---|---|---|
| Seat pad | 18 x 18 x 2.4 in (46 x 46 x 6 cm) | 4 |
| Bench pad | 21.7 x 18.5 x 2.4 in (55 x 47 x 6 cm) | 3 |
| Lounger pad | 75.6 x 23.6 x 2 in (192 x 60 x 5 cm) | 1 |
| Lounger pad | 74.8 x 19.7 x 2 in (190 x 50 x 5 cm) | 1 |
| Scatter cushion | 19.3 x 16.9 in (49 x 43 cm) | 8 |

## How the bundle number gets built

That list came from a buyer who wrote to the workshop with a whole patio in one message. The workshop priced each piece, added them up, then quoted the set as one bundle below that total, delivery included. Covers only came in lower again, roughly a quarter under the filled price.

That is the pattern across big [outdoor cushion](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/outdoor-cushions/) sets: one number, below the item-by-item sum. Once, the bulk saving landed on top of a store-wide sale; another time, an outdoor sofa set of six seats and six backs came with a seventh back cushion free. Don't count on either. Do ask for the bundle.

The [quote Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/custom-cushion-quote-what-to-send/) shows what to send, and the [patio refresh sketches](https://cushionguide.com/concepts/patio-set-cushion-refresh/) show whole sets done this way. How many pieces is your patio, dear?

## What moves a set quote up or down

| Change | Effect on the quote |
|---|---|
| Covers only instead of filled cushions | Lower: about 25% under the filled bundle on one 17-piece set |
| Backrests switched to foam-filled | Lower, on one garden-bench set |
| Ordering cushions in pairs | No change: pairs don't lower production cost |
| A far-off delivery address | Higher: a far-off address has raised a set quote once the workshop knew the destination |
| Decorative pillows added | Priced one by one, by size and design |

## Right, then: what goes in the quote message

- ✓ A plan or sketch of the whole seating area, every piece drawn
- ✓ Length, depth and thickness of each piece, in one unit system
- ✓ How many of each size
- ✓ Fabric codes for the body and the piping
- ✓ Filled cushions or covers only
- ✓ Where the set is going, so the quote can state the shipping cost

> **Tailor's margin:** Very long seats come in sections: a 197 in (500 cm) indoor bench seat was made in three parts, so plan where the joins will fall.

> A custom outdoor cushion set quoted as one bundle lands below the item-by-item total; check the quote for the shipping cost.

## Buyer questions

**A common question:** Can you price a mixed set of seat pads, bench pads, lounger pads and cushions, and what would covers only cost?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. A 17-piece set (four 18 x 18 x 2.4 in seat pads, three 21.7 x 18.5 x 2.4 in bench pads, two lounger pads about 75 in long and eight 19 x 17 in cushions) was offered as one bundle below the item-by-item total, shipping included. Covers only came in roughly a quarter lower again.

**A common question:** Is there a bulk discount on a big set of outdoor cushions?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. Sixteen outdoor cushions 3.5 in (9 cm) thick got a bundle price with shipping included, a 13-piece patio set of seats and backs came down as a set, and an outdoor sofa set of six seats and six backs got a seventh back cushion free. Making cushions in pairs doesn't lower the cost.

**A common question:** Can you quote seat and back cushions for a whole garden bench?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes, send a plan with all sizes. One garden bench set got a bulk reduction, then dropped again when the backrests were switched to foam-filled. A concrete bench needing 12 seat and back pieces 3 in (7.6 cm) thick was discounted as a set too.

**A common question:** Can one project cover a long indoor sofa seat, an outdoor daybed and decorative pillows?

**The workshop's answer:** Yes. A 4 x 31.5 x 197 in (10 x 80 x 500 cm) indoor seat in off-white linen was made in three parts, a 4 x 35.4 x 86.6 in (10 x 90 x 220 cm) outdoor daybed cushion was cut in off-white outdoor fabric with firm high-density foam as requested, and striped linen pillows were priced by size and design.

## Questions buyers ask next

### Does ordering cushions in pairs make them cheaper?

No. Making cushions in pairs doesn't reduce production cost, so the price per piece stays the same. What does lower the number is quoting the whole set together, which has come in below the item-by-item total.

### Can indoor and outdoor cushions go on one quote?

Yes. Mixed indoor and outdoor projects are quoted the same way as an all-outdoor set: send every piece's size and fabric, and the workshop prices the lot as one bundle. Outdoor pieces are cut in outdoor fabric; indoor pieces can be linen or another indoor fabric.

### Is delivery included in a bundle quote?

The quote tells you: it states the shipping cost for your destination, which is why the destination matters. A far-off address has raised a bundle price once the workshop knew where the set was going, and some past set quotes came with shipping included. Name the delivery region up front to get a firm number.
