Buyer questions
- A common question
What fabric and piping is the cushion in your first listing photo? The piping looks orange to me.
The workshop's answerIt's one fabric with a separate piping code, and that piping isn't really orange; in person it reads mustard. The workshop sends close-ups and a photo of a finished cushion in the same combination, so you can see the true colors before you order.

- A common question
Can one cover wrap two stacked mattresses so they work as a sofa?
The workshop's answerYes. One removable zippered cover can enclose two IKEA MORGEDAL mattresses of about 35 3/8 × 74 3/4 × 7 in (90 × 190 × 18 cm) as a single block about 14 1/8 in (36 cm) thick. Order through the daybed cover page, choose full set or cover only, and write the exact size and fabric code in the personalization note.

- A common question
Could you sew straps or ties on the back of a large backrest so it's easier to lift?
The workshop's answerYes. The workshop sews ties on the back, near the top, where they can't be seen from the front.
