Frequently bought together
Same fabric, made together, shipped together.
A good patio or dining chair outlasts its cushions by years, and cushions sold by size rarely match a seat that tapers or a back that curves. Our replacement chair cushions are made to fit the chairs you already own: patio and dining chairs, club and lounge chairs, swivel rockers, gliders and sling-back frames. Order a seat cushion, a back cushion or a one-piece seat-and-back, in Sunbrella or, with the builder set to Indoor, Warwick, velvet and faux leather for kitchen and dining chairs. See all Sunbrella outdoor cushions for sofas, chaises and benches.
How to measure
- Measure your old cushion seam to seam: width across the front, width across the back, depth front to back.
- If the seat is narrower at the back, give both widths and we taper the cushion.
- Measure back cushion height from the seat to the top of the frame.
- Dining chairs usually take 2″ to 3″ foam; deep club chairs take 4″ to 6″.

Questions about chair cushions
Do you match any brand of patio chair?
Yes. Send your measurements and, if you can, a photo of the old cushion. We make chair cushion replacements for any brand of chair.
Is the seat and back one item?
Order a one-piece seat-and-back, or the seat and back as separate items if you want a different thickness for each.
Which foam should I choose for outdoor seat cushions?
Dry Fast foam drains water and dries quickly, so it is best for chairs left outdoors.
How thick should a chair cushion be?
Most seat cushions are 3″ to 5″ thick. Dining chairs suit 2″ to 3″ so you stay at table height.
Can I add ties?
Yes. Add ties at the back corners in the quote notes so the cushion stays on in the wind.
What size are chair cushions?
Dining chair cushions are often between 16″ and 20″ wide; club and lounge chairs run larger. Seats vary by brand, so measure yours and enter the exact size. Our size pages below cover the most common sizes.
Where can I buy cushions for my outdoor chairs?
Here, made to your chair. Each cushion is cut to your measurements, so it fits tapered and rounded seats that stock cushions miss.
Shop by brand and size

Seat cushions
Measure the seat side to side and front to back, between arms if there are any. Round up to the nearest ¼″. For a tapered seat, measure the front and back widths.
Back cushions
Measure from the seat to where you want the cushion to stop. Width is usually the same as the seat.
Chaise and Adirondack
Measure the full length laid flat, then the back section from the top to the hinge point where the back rest bends.
Covers only
Measure your foam, not the old cover. We cut the cover to fit snugly.
Pillows
Order the cover the size of your insert. Our micro-fibre inserts are sized to fill the cover.
Curtains
Panel width: add the panels up to 1½–2× the opening. Length: from the rod (or top of the tab) to where the hem should land.
