One seat, four equal sides, and a cat with opinions. These are the small sizes that have actually been cut, and the route to ordering yours.

The quick answer

Small single-seat floor cushions are made, with near-square custom sizes like 26 x 26 in (66 x 66 cm) ordered through the meditation cushion listing. Floor pillows at 24 x 24 x 6 in (61 x 61 x 15 cm) and 36 x 36 in (91 x 91 cm) were also made. For a pet's nook, the linen floor listing offers 8 x 20 in (20 x 51 cm).

Small floor sizes already on the cutting sheet

  • 8 x 20 in (20 x 51 cm): a size option on the linen floor cushion listing; one went into a cat's fireplace nook
  • 24 x 24 x 6 in (61 x 61 x 15 cm): a pair of square floor pillows
  • 26 x 26 in (66 x 66 cm): a near-square single seat in emerald velvet
  • 36 x 36 in (91 x 91 cm): the largest square in this set
  • Single-seat meditation and kids' pallet cushions: listings built for one sitter

Ordering a near-square, in order

  1. Measure the floor spot, not an old cushion: length and width in inches, then the thickness you want
  2. Open the meditation cushion listing for anything near square, like 26 x 26 in (66 x 66 cm)
  3. For a pet-sized strip, pick the 8 x 20 in (20 x 51 cm) option on the linen floor cushion listing
  4. Select the nearest listed size and write your exact size and fabric code in the note
  5. Anything unusual: send the numbers first and let the workshop quote it
A real project

Twenty by eight, for the cat

A buyer in the US wrote in about a nook by the fireplace where the cat sleeps. They wanted an ivory floor cushion, 20 x 8 in (51 x 20 cm). The answer was short: that size already exists as the 8 x 20 in option on the linen floor cushion listing. Pick it and place the order.

I like this one because the buyer measured the nook, not the cat. The cat adjusts the spec anyway.

Why near-square seats go through the meditation listing

The meditation listing is built around one sitter, partner, so that's where near-square custom sizes live. A buyer after a small square for one person was pointed there, and the cushion came out 26 x 26 in (66 x 66 cm) in emerald velvet. Measure twice; the fabric remembers.

For thickness, the floor cushion thickness Pattern sets out the trade-offs, and the zabuton sizing Pattern covers a seat meant for sitting still. The floor cushions hub shows the full range, and custom dog beds and cat corners collects more pet-sized builds. What does your floor spot measure, wall to wall?

A small square floor cushion for one person has been made at 24 x 24 x 6 in, 26 x 26 in and 36 x 36 in.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Do you make a small square cushion, just for one person?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. There are single-seat meditation and kids' pallet cushion listings, and near-square custom sizes such as 26 x 26 in (66 x 66 cm) in emerald velvet are ordered through the meditation cushion listing. A 36 x 36 in (91 x 91 cm) cushion and two 24 x 24 x 6 in (61 x 61 x 15 cm) floor pillows have also been made.

  2. A common question

    Could you make a 20 x 8 inch ivory floor cushion for my cat's spot by the fireplace?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Choose the 8 x 20 in (20 x 51 cm) option on the linen floor cushion listing and place the order.

  3. A common question

    Can a floor cushion be made to my exact measurements?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Any length, width and thickness can be made, in inches or centimeters. Send your measurements, then order the nearest listed size with your exact size in the note, or pay through a custom order link.

  4. A common question

    And at the other extreme, one giant floor cushion?

    The workshop's answer

    Very wide cushions aren't made in one piece. They're split into two halves that push together, for example 84 x 92 in (213 x 234 cm) as two 42 x 92 in (107 x 234 cm) pieces.

Questions buyers ask next

Is there a kids' version of the single-seat floor cushion?

Yes. Alongside the meditation cushion there's a kids' pallet cushion listing sized for a single seat. For a near-square custom size, though, the meditation listing is the route the workshop has used.

Can a square floor cushion be thick, like a floor pillow?

Yes. Two square floor pillows were made at 24 x 24 x 6 in (61 x 61 x 15 cm). Give the thickness along with length and width when you order, since thickness changes how the seat sits.

Is a narrow pet-sized strip possible, not just squares?

Yes. The linen floor cushion listing includes an 8 x 20 in (20 x 51 cm) size, which one buyer chose for a cat's sleeping nook beside the fireplace. Pick that option directly instead of writing it in as a custom size.
