26" x 26" Outdoor Cushions – Custom Made to Your Exact Size
Cut to your measurements — width, depth, and thickness — not to a stock chart. Factory-direct, no minimums.
Twenty-six inches is big-frame territory: oversized lounge seats, wide swivel chairs, chaise backs, and the generous modular pieces that make a patio feel like a living room. Big cushions are also the worst stock-replacement gamble — a near-miss that would hide on a small chair is obvious at this scale, and oversized pads are what most manufacturers simply refuse to carry.
Every 26 x 26 outdoor cushion is cut to your measurements in the same fabrics as our full line, from Tech Fabric, our waterproof, wipe-clean leather-like workhorse, to Premium Velvet, plush claw-resistant velvet. Our library documents nine factory pieces at this square and its nearest sizes, including the Edington swivel seat (25.25 x 26.5), the Cedar Island chaise back (26 x 26.5), and Woodbury loveseat and sofa seats — series charts linked below. Foam density upgrades recommended for daily-use seating. Factory-direct, sewn to the quarter inch.

*One cushion, 26 × 26 in. (4.69 sq ft top surface): $39 make-base + 4.69 sq ft × fabric rate ($19.0/sq ft, $25.5/sq ft, $34.0/sq ft). Thickness, foam density, and the sewn closure is confirmed at checkout — and every dimension is confirmed with you before we cut.
For comparison: U.S. custom-configurator specialists’ 2026 listings for made-to-order cushions in common sizes (16×16 through 24×24) run roughly $71–$119 before shipping — and most only reveal that price after a quote request. We publish the formula above so you can check the math before you order.

Measuring tips for a 26 x 26
- Old cushion flat on a table: width edge to edge, depth front to back, thickness seam to seam — never squeezed.
- On frames over 24 inches, measure the depth at both ends — older welded frames go out of square; we cut to the average.
- Match the old pad’s thickness to keep seat height unchanged; every inch of cushion lifts the sitter.

Foam thickness for a 26 x 26
Twenty-six inches square is the upper edge of standard deep seating — wide lounge modules, generous club chairs, sectional seats. Thickness wants 5–6 inches; the span bridges real frame gaps and thin pads dish between seams. Above 6 inches the foam wants vent channels, flagged at confirmation.
Density carries the span: 50D daily, 60D nap-grade, 65D mattress duty. Backs run 18–26 high at their own loft; one fabric run keeps the whole set agreed.

Frequently asked questions
What thickness should a 26 x 26 outdoor cushion be?
5 inches is the deep-seating standard at this width; 6 for plush lounge profiles; 4 if the frame is a firmer dining-scale piece. If you’re replacing, measure the old pad’s side and match it — that keeps the seat height identical.
How long do custom cushions take?
Each order is cut and sewn after you place it — typically 7–14 business days in production, and you receive a confirmation listing every dimension before any fabric is cut.
Should I measure the old cushion or the frame?
The old cushion, flat on a table, edge to edge — it was cut to the frame already. If the pads are gone, measure the seat deck between the frame rails and send us the raw numbers.
Why do stock programs stop at 26 x 26?
Because retail bins are built around the most common modules — and because factories cut pads to their own frames, not to bins. A “26 inch” original can measure 25.5 to 26.75; your quarter inch is the number that actually fits.
Are 26 x 26 cushions good for sectionals?
Yes — with the sectional caveat: corner wedges and chaise ends are their own pieces with different depths. Count and name every block before ordering; the sectional cushions page lays out the block-by-block method.
Is 26 x 26 the biggest cushion size you make?
The 26-inch boundary
Twenty-six is where the stock world ends and the custom world starts — retail bins are built to 26, and everything past it is special-order or nothing. That makes this square a boundary object in both directions: buyers with true 26-inch frames find the last shelf that might hold them, and buyers at 26.5 discover why the shelf was never going to. The library’s originals at “26” run 25.5 to 26.75 — the Edington swivel seat at 25.25 × 26.5, the Cedar Island chaise back at 26 × 26.5, Woodbury loveseat seats at 26 × 25.5 — and each of those decimals is a frame that a bin’s “26” fits badly.
The boundary cuts the other way for fit: an inch matters more at this scale, not less. A 25-inch pad in a 26-inch deck leaves a gap the back cushion cannot hide; a 27 in a 26 deck overhangs the front rail and rides up when anyone sits. Measure the deck, order the decimal, and the boundary stops mattering.
Thickness picks at 26 x 26
The ladder at this width is the deep-seating ladder with the stakes raised — big squares make wrong thickness more visible and more expensive to live with. Five inches is the standard the frames assume; six is the plush tier for nap-grade builds; four belongs only on dining-scale pieces that happen to run wide decks. If you are replacing rather than designing, the fastest answer is the old pad’s side: measure its seam-to-seam thickness and match it — the seat height, the arm height, and the back pitch were all built around that number, and matching it keeps the geometry the frame was designed with.
