The quick answer

Pick what you would like made below and send the short quote form, or message the workshop directly. The workshop team replies by the channel you choose to go over size, fabric, foam and piping, and agrees the price with you. Nothing is made or charged until you approve the details.

Start your quote

Pick what you would like made. The quote form opens with it selected: four short steps, and no measuring needed yet.

Talk to the workshop

Use the quote form above; the workshop replies by email or phone.

What happens next

  1. You send the request

    The quote form or a message: what you would like made, your sizes and, if you have them, a photo or two.

  2. The workshop replies

    By the channel you picked. They go over your numbers with you and ask about anything that looks unusual.

  3. You agree on the details and the price

    Size, fabric, foam, piping and fastening, all settled with the workshop before anything is cut.

  4. They make it

    Your cushion is cut and sewn to the numbers you approved.

  5. They arrange shipping

    The workshop tells you how it ships and keeps you posted until it arrives.

Measure first

Measure the seat or the frame, not the old cushion, and round to the nearest 1/4 in. These patterns show where the tape goes.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    The size menu only lists ranges. Where do my fabric code and piping color go?

    The workshop's answer

    With the quote form you simply write them in the notes. If you order through the Etsy shop instead, write them in the personalization box, for example 'Main: L09, Piping: L24'. The workshop asks if a code is missing.

  2. A common question

    I picked one size range but typed a different exact size in the note. Which one gets made?

    The workshop's answer

    The exact size you typed. It is confirmed with you before production starts, and anything agreed in writing overrides a listing's defaults.

  3. A common question

    Could I see my cushion in a photo before it leaves the workshop?

    The workshop's answer

    Usually, yes. Ask the workshop and the finished pieces are photographed before they go out; custom shapes get measured final-check photos for your approval. It can't be promised on the busiest production days.

Have the tape measure handy when they call. Old cushions shrink and sag; the seat underneath does not. — 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.

In inches: length × depth × thickness, plus any angles or cut corners.

* Required. A member of the workshop team will call you to talk it through; nothing is charged and nothing is made until you have agreed on every detail with them.

We use these details only to answer this request and make your cushion: your name and contact details, the cushion details and photos you send, the page you came from and the ad or link that brought you, if any. The workshop that makes the cushions receives them. We don't sell them or share them for advertising, and we delete requests after 24 months. Privacy notice for requests.

Questions people ask

Can I buy a cushion directly from CushionGuide?

Nothing is sold or paid for on this site. The quote form sends your request to the partner workshop, which confirms the details and the price with you. You can also order through the workshop's Etsy shop, linked on this page.

Do I need exact measurements before I ask?

No. The quote form asks what you would like made, its shape and any photos or notes. The workshop goes over the sizes with you before anything is cut; if you already have them, add them to the notes.

Can I change the size or color after I have agreed on the details?

Yes, as long as production hasn't started and the fabric hasn't been cut. Tell the workshop the new size or fabric; they confirm the change in writing.

How does the workshop reply?

By the channel you choose in the form: a call, a text, WhatsApp or email. Your details are used only for this request.
