Quick summary

The right custom cushion maker for a hotel, resort or restaurant cuts cushions to your exact furniture, uses fabric that survives sun and constant cleaning, and quotes quickly with no surprise minimums. We looked at five companies that make custom outdoor cushions for commercial buyers and compared what each one publishes about fabrics, minimum orders, lead times and trade support.

Company Best for
Fabrica Kraft Hotels, restaurants and designers who want no minimum order, a spec drawing before cutting and trade pricing
Cushion Source Clubs and resorts that also need commercial umbrellas and drapes
Custom Cushions (customcushions.com) Buyers who want to design odd-shaped cushions online themselves
Classic Patio Replacing cushions on high-end outdoor furniture brands in California
Patio Lane Buyers who want to see list prices online before asking for a quote

What to look for in a commercial cushion maker

  • Exact sizing: pool loungers, banquettes and cabanas rarely match standard sizes. Ask for a tolerance and a drawing before cutting.
  • Performance fabric: solution-dyed fabric such as Sunbrella resists fading; marine vinyl wipes clean between guests.
  • Quick-drain foam: open-cell foam such as Dryfast lets water run through, so poolside cushions dry fast.
  • Fire-safety paperwork: many properties need the fabric maker's test reports for their files.
  • Minimum orders and lead times: you should be able to replace five cushions as easily as fifty, and know the ship date up front.
  • Reorders: a maker that keeps your specs on file saves you measuring again next season.

FAQ

How long do commercial outdoor cushions last?

It depends on fabric, foam and use. Solution-dyed fabrics like Sunbrella carry long fabric warranties from the maker; Fabrica Kraft's Sunbrella cushions come with a 5-year fabric warranty and 2-year workmanship warranty.

What foam is best for pool cushions?

Open-cell quick-drain foam such as Dryfast lets water pass straight through, so cushions dry quickly and resist mildew.

Do I need fire-rated fabric for a hotel or restaurant?

Requirements depend on your location and property. Ask your supplier for the fabric maker's test reports. See our fire safety standards guide.

Is there a minimum order for custom commercial cushions?

Some suppliers set one. Fabrica Kraft has no minimum order, from one replacement cushion to a whole property.
