Buyer questions
- A common question
Can you make an extra-thick window bench cushion, around 6 1/4 in (16 cm)?
The workshop's answerThe thickest standard option is 6 in (15 cm). That is only 3/8 in (1 cm) less than asked and still gives a deep, sofa-like feel. One cushion at that thickness measured 70 x 22 7/8 in (178 x 58 cm).
