One photograph at a time, the masters read what a made-to-measure cushion is doing: its proportion, the line of the piping, the fabric against the light, and the questions that come up before cutting one like it.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    If I order several cushions at once, do you give a discount?

    The workshop's answer

    Often, yes: multi-cushion orders have been quoted as one set, which can come in lower than pricing each cushion alone. Send every piece in one message so the quote covers the whole set, with the shipping cost for your address on the same quote.

  2. A common question

    My Hemnes daybed has two European single mattresses stacked. What size do I write for the cover?

    The workshop's answer

    Standard European single Hemnes mattresses measure 78¾ x 31½ in (200 x 80 cm), so write that and add the combined height of both mattresses, which varies by model. A stack of about 9½ in (24 cm) is typical and needs nothing extra. Measure every dimension yourself anyway, because the cover is made exactly to what you write.

  3. A common question

    Is your linen real linen or a linen look? And what are the striped fabrics made of?

    The workshop's answer

    Both exist. One linen range is 50% cotton and 50% linen, another is a linen-look polyester, and a third range is linen too. Every striped fabric is 100% cotton.
