Cushions offer an excellent opportunity to introduce patterns and textures into your décor. However, they need to comply with what you already have going on.

Frequently asked questions

Can an egg chair cushion be made to fit my chair?

Yes. Egg chair cushions are made to the measurements you enter, so they sit snugly in the chair's bowl without bunching. Measure the widest points edge to edge, note the depth at the centre, and send a paper template for unusual shapes, which take 5–6 weeks. Browse our egg chair cushions.

Can I see cushion colours before ordering?

Yes. Order swatches and hold them against the chair frame, your rug and nearby curtains in both daylight and evening light, so you can judge complementary or contrasting shades in the room itself. Swatches are paid, and the cost is credited back as a one-time code on your order. Visit fabric swatches.

Which fabric suits an egg chair outdoors?

Choose Sunbrella for an egg chair on a patio or balcony. It resists fading in the sun, most of its fabrics are water- and stain-repellent, and the covers are machine washable. Pair it with dry-fast foam so rain drains through and the cushion dries quickly. Read more on our Sunbrella fabric page.
