Indoor bench cushions

For mudroom, entryway, kitchen, dining and end-of-bed benches, choose Warwick, velvet or faux leather. See all indoor bench cushions, or piano bench cushions for a thin, firm pad cut to your bench top.

Outdoor bench cushions

Garden, porch, patio and deck benches need fabric and foam made for weather. Our outdoor bench cushions use solution-dyed Sunbrella that resists fading and mildew, with Dry Fast foam available for benches left out in the rain. Use the bench cushion builder to enter your size and see the price as you go. Read more on foam depth and fabric for outdoor bench cushions.

How to measure for a bench cushion

  1. Measure the seat length edge to edge. If the bench sits between walls or arms, measure the inside space at the front and at the back.
  2. Measure the depth from the front edge to the back rail or wall.
  3. If the front and back lengths differ, choose a trapezoid cushion. Corner benches suit an L-shaped cushion.
  4. Note any cut-outs around posts or legs, or send us a paper template for unusual shapes.

Replacing an old cushion? Measure the foam edge to edge, not the old cover. We cut to within ±0.5″ of the size you order. Our step-by-step guide to measuring for a bench cushion covers angled ends, cut-outs and long benches.

Foam and thickness

  • High Density: a medium feel for everyday benches, 3″ to 5″ thick.
  • Lux foam: firm, best for dining and kitchen benches with a thinner 1″ to 3″ pad.
  • Dry Fast: open-cell foam that drains water, for outdoor benches.
  • Dacron wrap (add-on): a softer, rounder edge.

We cut up to 8″ thick. All foam is CertiPUR-US certified.

Questions about bench cushions

How thick should a bench cushion be?

2″ to 3″ suits a dining bench or banquette, where you sit at table height. 3″ to 4″ is the most comfortable for entryway, garden and porch benches.

How do I keep a bench cushion from sliding?

Ties in matching fabric come standard, and Velcro is available on request. We do not use non-slip backing, because it stops covers being machine washable and voids the warranty.

Can you make a very long bench cushion?

Yes. Long benches can be one piece, or split into two or three cushions that sit end to end, which are easier to lift and clean.

Can I order just a cover for my bench cushion?

Yes. Every builder offers cover only, foam only or the complete cushion. Covers are zippered so they come off for cleaning.

How long does a custom bench cushion take?

Most bench cushions ship in 2–3 weeks. Rush production and express shipping are available at extra cost. Not sure on colour? Order swatches first.

Custom Sunbrella bench cushion

A bench cushion only looks right when it fits edge to edge. Off-the-shelf pads leave gaps at the ends of a built-in banquette, slide off a mudroom bench, and never match the angled sides of a bay window. We make every custom bench cushion and window seat cushion to your measurements, so it sits flush against the wall and lines up with the front edge.

Choose a straight bench cushion for dining benches, breakfast nooks, entryway and mudroom benches, piano benches and storage benches. For bay windows we cut trapezoid cushions with angled ends from your back length, front length and depth. L-shaped banquettes can be made as one piece or as two cushions that meet at the corner.

For kitchens and dining areas, Sunbrella fabric is a practical choice: it is solution-dyed, so spills clean up with mild soap and water, and sunny window seats will not fade. We also make bench cushions in velvet, leather, Ultraleather, Warwick and Gabriel upholstery fabrics for a softer indoor look.

Most dining and piano bench cushions are 2" to 3" thick so you sit at the right height for the table or keys. Window seats and reading nooks are often 3" to 4", with a 1" Dacron wrap for a rounded, upholstered edge. Every cover has a zipper so the foam can be removed and the cover cleaned.

Bench & Window Seat Cushion FAQs

Quick answers about sizing, fabrics, foam and delivery.

How do I measure a bench or window seat? + −

Measure the length from end to end and the depth from the wall to the front edge, in inches. For a bay window, measure the back edge and the front edge separately, plus the depth at the centre. For angled or curved ends, trace the seat on paper and send us a photo.

What thickness should a dining bench cushion be? + −

2" to 3" works for most dining benches and banquettes, so you sit at a comfortable height for the table. If your bench is lower than standard, a 4" cushion can make up the difference.

Can you make a cushion for an L-shaped banquette? + −

Yes. We can make one L-shaped cushion or two straight cushions that meet at the corner. Send the length of each side and the depth, and tell us which side runs to the corner.

Will the cushion slide on a bench? + −

A snug fit between walls usually holds a built-in cushion in place. For freestanding benches, ask for ties or a non-slip backing in your quote notes.

Can I use the same cushion indoors and outdoors? + −

Yes, if you choose Sunbrella fabric and Dry Fast foam. Dry Fast foam lets rain drain through, so an outdoor bench cushion dries quickly after a storm.
