A glider rocker sees late-night feeds, story time and long reads. After a few years the seat flattens and the fabric shows every spill, but the frame is usually fine. We make new seat, back and arm-pad cushions to the measurements of the glider you already own, whatever brand it is.
Quick answerGlider rocker replacement cushions: the short answer
Fabrica Kraft makes custom glider rocker cushions from your measurements, for any brand of glider. Seat cushions use firm or medium foam, back cushions can use our Super Soft foam, and every cover has a zipper so it can come off for cleaning. Curved or shaped backs are made from a paper template.

What we make for glider rockers
How do I measure a glider with a curved back?
Our measuring guide walks through each step. For template orders, email care@fabricakraft.com first and we will tell you what to send.
TiesWhere should the ties go?
Look at how the old cushions attach. Most glider backs tie to the frame near the top corners, and some seats tie at the back corners as well. Note each tie point and we will sew matching-fabric ties in the same places. If your glider uses hook-and-loop strips instead, ask for Velcro.
BrandsCushions for popular glider brands
We have pages for several glider makers with fit notes for each: Dutailier glider cushions, Shermag glider cushions, Saferocker glider cushions and Foundations Lullaby glider cushions. We also make cushions that fit Storkcraft gliders and many other brands.
How it worksOrder in three steps
Measure the seat, back and any arm pads separately. Our measuring guide shows how.
Choose fabric and foam in the builder, or order a swatch first.
We cut to within ±0.5″ of your sizes and remake free if we miss. See our fit guarantee.
Frequently asked questions
Can you make cushions for any brand of glider?
Yes. We work from your measurements, not a catalog, so the brand does not matter. Shaped backs are made from a paper template you trace.
Which foam is best for a nursery glider seat?
HD36-R gives a medium feel that most people find comfortable for long sits. Lux-R is firmer. A Dacron wrap softens the top of either.
Can the back be softer than the seat?
Yes. Super Soft foam is made for back cushions and gives a plush feel. We do not use it in seats because it would flatten too quickly.
Are the covers removable for cleaning?
Yes. Every cover has a zipper, so you can take it off and clean it according to the fabric's care instructions.
How long does it take?
Standard shapes take 2–3 weeks. Shaped backs made from a template take 5–6 weeks.
