How do I get a price for replacement cushion covers?

Also asked as:Quote on new sofa covers?Covers for seat and back cushions.

Sometimes the foam is fine and the cover has simply lived a full life: sun, spilled sweet tea, one enthusiastic dog. Here is how to price just the cover.

The quick answer

Price replacement cushion covers on the cover-only listing: pick the size range for each piece and the price appears on screen. Then write each exact size, the main fabric code and the piping code in Personalization. In one quote a replacement cover cost about 40% of a new cushion with foam, so if only the cover is damaged, order just the cover.

Your cover-only checklist

  1. Open the cover-only listing, not the full cushion listing.
  2. Select a size range for each piece, for example two seat covers and two back covers.
  3. Read the price on screen for each range before you add the next piece.
  4. In Personalization, write every exact size: length x depth x thickness.
  5. Add the main fabric code and the piping code; contrasting piping is fine.

What slows a cover quote down

  • One size range chosen when the seat and back covers differ.
  • A color described in words instead of a fabric code.
  • No note on which fabric goes on the piping.
  • New foam ordered when only the cover is torn.
A real project

A cut seat and a cheaper fix

A buyer in the US wrote to the workshop after a seat cushion got cut. The workshop quoted it two ways: a new seat cushion, foam plus cover, or the cover by itself, which came to roughly 40% of the whole cushion.

Kids and dogs are the real quality control, and when the damage stops at the fabric, a new cover is all a cushion needs. Keep the foam, zip on the new jacket and get back to the porch.

Four covers and a contrasting welt

Another buyer priced a set of sofa covers with contrasting piping: two seat covers about 23.5 x 20.5 x 4 in (60 x 52 x 10 cm) and two back covers about 15.75 x 20.5 x 3 in (40 x 52 x 8 cm). Each piece got its own size range on the listing, and the body code and piping code went into Personalization. Someone else asked for blue stripes with orange piping, which is exactly the kind of combination the listing allows.

A contrasting welt gives a plain cover a crisp outline, like white trim on a porch rail. What color would you put on the edge of yours, neighbor? The piping Pattern weighs matching against contrast, covers for existing foam walks the keep-your-foam route, and the cushion covers pages show finished sets.

Replacement cushion covers are priced by size range on the cover-only listing; exact sizes and the piping code go in Personalization.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    How do I price replacement sofa cushion covers with contrasting piping?

    The workshop's answer

    Use the cover-only listing: select the size range for each piece, for example two seat covers of 23.5 x 20.5 x 4 in (60 x 52 x 10 cm) and two back covers of 15.75 x 20.5 x 3 in (40 x 52 x 8 cm), and the price appears for each range. Write the exact sizes, body fabric code and piping code in Personalization.

  2. A common question

    My seat foam got cut. Do I need a whole new cushion or just a cover?

    The workshop's answer

    Both were quoted. The cover alone came to roughly 40% of a replacement seat cushion with foam and cover, so if only the cover is damaged, order just the cover.

  3. A common question

    Can I get one total for several covers in different sizes?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Send all sizes, quantities and fabric in one message for one total. Add each size to one cart, use one named option with quantity plus sizes in Personalization, or ask for a custom listing.

  4. A common question

    What do you need from me to quote a custom cover?

    The workshop's answer

    Length x width x thickness, the fabric or listing you like, and a drawing with every side for shaped cushions. The workshop confirms the shape and replies with a total; ask it to say whether shipping is in it.

Questions buyers ask next

Can the piping on a replacement cover be a different color from the body?

Yes. Contrasting piping is available on replacement covers. Write the main fabric code and the piping code separately in Personalization, so the workshop knows which fabric goes on the body and which goes on the welt.

Is a new cover much cheaper than a whole new cushion?

Yes, by a good margin. In one quote a replacement cover came to about 40% of a new foam-and-cover cushion, so when the foam is still sound, replacing only the cover can save most of the cost.

What if my seat and back covers are different sizes?

Select a separate size range for each piece on the cover-only listing, such as two seat covers and two back covers, then list every exact size in Personalization. The price shows for each range as you pick it.
