The quick answer

The Cushion Atlas sorts every made-to-measure cushion the atelier reads into 38 cushion types and 8 rooms. Open a type for its standard sizes, how to measure it, the shapes and fabrics that work, the questions buyers ask and every published reading of that cushion. Start from the room if you know the space but not the shape.

Benches, window seats & banquettes

Straight runs, angled bays, trapezoids and kitchen corners.

Chairs, swings & rockers

Chair pads that tie on, rocker and glider sets, porch swings, hanging chairs, ottomans.

Daybeds & floor beds

Daybed mattresses and covers, flat-pack fits, crib and floor beds.

Outdoor, boat & sunbed

Patio benches, loungers, boats and campers: cushions that meet the weather.

Floor cushions & poufs

Floor seating, kids' play sofas, modular couches, stars, corners and pet beds.

Pillows, covers & foam

Throw, lumbar and bolster pillows, replacement covers and foam inserts.

By room

Start from the room: the seats it has and what they have to put up with.

Buyer questions

Two of the questions buyers ask most often, with the workshop's answers.

A common question
How do I measure a window seat for a custom cushion?
The workshop's answer
Measure the front edge wall to wall, the back edge along the window, and the depth front to back on both the left and the right if it varies, plus each side edge if the walls are angled. Draw a simple top view with every measurement on its edge and send it with a photo.
A common question
How thick are your bench cushions? Is 4 inches the standard?
The workshop's answer
Yes, 4 in is the standard for bench, window seat and floor cushions, and most buyers keep it. 3 in is the common thinner choice; thicker is made to order and quoted higher.
