Custom outdoor bench seat cushions

When replacing an outdoor bench seat cushion, the first thing you need to understand is that standard cushion sizes vary greatly. It’s close to impossible for a cushion manufacturer to craft a replacement cushion without first obtaining accurate cushion measurements. Therefore, your ability to measure your old outdoor bench seat cushion correctly is pivotal in determining the fit of your final product.

Here are some handy tips to help you measure:

• First and foremost, familiarise yourself with cushion size charts so that you know exactly what you need to measure.
• Remove the cover from your old cushion and place it down on a flat, smooth surface.
• When measuring, we recommend using a straight-edge ruler or measuring tape.
• Measure the length and width of the cover from seam to seam. The sewing seam provides the most accurate measurement. 
• If your cushions are rectangular or square, the full dimensions would have been measured correctly through the seams. However, for T or L-shaped cushions, the greatest width and length of the cushion should be measured first, while the front portion of the cover is measured ear-to-ear later.

We often receive questions about the standard thickness for custom-made outdoor bench seat cushions. It actually comes down to personal preference as cushion thickness is primarily driven by design taste and functionality. However, we have found that around the 60mm - 100mm mark is typically the most popular choice for bench seat cushions.

All of our custom-made outdoor bench seat cushions are manufactured right here in Australia. Cushion House Australia is recognised by the ‘Made in Australia’ campaign, meaning our customers can be satisfied that they are buying a genuine Australian-made product. To ensure that we consistently deliver a high-quality end product, we have stringent quality control and workmanship procedures in place. All of our custom outdoor bench seat cushions are also backed with a lifetime warranty, guaranteeing that you will have a high-quality product that will last for many years to come.

We have an extensive range of outdoor cushion fabrics that are guaranteed to stand the test of time. We only utilise the very best, trusted Australian fabric brands such as Warwick and Sunbrella for our custom outdoor cushions. With hundreds of different fabrics to choose from, and the option to have samples of our fabrics delivered to your door for free, you can’t beat Cushion House Australia!

We’re always adding new fabrics to our range, but if you can’t find exactly what you want, you are welcome to send us your own fabric for your custom outdoor bench seat cushion. However, if you do decide to use your own fabric, we do advise that you are certain it is suitable upholstery fabric. All of our fabrics have been thoroughly tested to ensure they are hardy, fade-resistant and mildew-resistant.

We offer free fabric samples for all our fabrics and are happy to post directly to you. Please note; a maximum of five free samples can be ordered per person - any more will incur a fee.

We utilise our high-density comfort, high-density comfort plus, and reticulated quick-dry foam ranges when manufacturing custom cushion designs.

High-density comfort foam

A popular all-rounder foam that offers excellent support to help maintain maximum comfort for years to come. Backed by a ten-year warranty, the high-density comfort foam provides a firm feel and is most commonly utilised in seat cushion and back cushion designs.

High-density comfort plus foam

If you’re looking for a soft foam with a bit of bounce, look no further than our high-density comfort plus range. The comfort plus is the next step up from our high-density comfort range and is recommended foam choice for commercial cushion applications.

Reticulated quick-dry foam

Reticulated quick-dry foam is ideal for cushions that will frequently be exposed to the outdoors. Designed for maximum resistance to mould and mildew growth, its open cell construction means that it won’t absorb liquid like standard cushion foams.

We add Dacron wadding to all of our custom-made outdoor bench seat cushions as a standard and at no additional cost to our customers. Dacron wadding provides a soft layer of protection between the cover and foam, greatly increasing the overall product longevity and comfort levels of our custom outdoorbench seat cushions.

Unless you specify otherwise, all of our custom outdoor bench seat cushions will include a zipper. Our zippers come in white, black or beige colourways and are used appropriately with fabrics similar in colour. Generally, your cushion zipper will be located on the rear of one side of your cushion, wrapping 750mm into each adjacent side. 

You may specify an alternate location for your zipper in the ‘order notes’ when you place an order. The zip runs the full length of the rear of the cushion. We can also manufacture your cushion so that the zip comes around the side panels (usually about 150mm on each side), which makes it much easier to remove the cover for cleaning. Add this request to the ‘order notes’ when placing your order.

Please Note: We highly recommend that you avoid removing your cushion covers simply due to the difficulty involved in replacing the filling, especially in larger cushions. Part of the difficulty in this process involves restoring the evenness of the filling, which may result in lumps and other irregularities.
