HAVSTEN Replacement Cushions for IKEA — Measured Fit (2026)
Cushions to fit IKEA HAVSTEN: Outdoor wicker — generous deep-seat line — official measurements, cut to order.
The HAVSTEN line at a glance
HAVSTEN is IKEA’s generous outdoor wicker line – hand-woven plastic rattan on aluminum frames, wide armchairs and loveseats built for real lounging. The frames last a decade outdoors. The cushions are the line’s known weak point: the official seat/back pad runs $190 per piece, and its inserts – poly fill wrapped in a thin gauze – are documented (in hundreds of owner reviews) to disintegrate within a season or two of normal use.
That combination is why this page exists: a five-piece set runs $600 to $1,000 in official pads, the disintegrating inserts make the covers unwashable, and the pad sizes are non-standard – 34 1/4 x 32 1/4 x 9 7/8 is a shape no universal outdoor cushion line stocks. We cut to the official numbers, in solution-dyed acrylic over foam that survives being washed.
HAVSTEN cushion sizes — full chart
Measurements compiled from official IKEA product data (live pages, archived official values, or surviving aftermarket spec tables). Inches; metric-derived fractions (22 7/8, 23 5/8) are normal — cut to the fraction, not the rounded inch.

Is your set really HAVSTEN?
HAVSTEN is the wide hand-woven rattan-look line – chunky woven surfaces, generous proportions, elastic mesh seating under the pads, usually in beige-white. If your pads’ inserts turned to shreds when you unzipped the covers, you have confirmed the line the hard way. The measurement check: seat pad around 34 x 32 and nearly 10 inches thick is HAVSTEN territory and nothing else. Full method: our three-step measuring guide.
Fabric options & estimated pricing
Same fit, three fabric tiers — cotton linen (durable everyday), tech fabric (water-resistant, wipes clean), premium velvet (the high-end look that stands up to cat claws). For outdoor pieces: solution-dyed acrylic covers over 50D-plus foam.
| Piece | Cotton Linen | Tech Fabric | Premium Velvet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seat pad (32 1/4 x 34 1/4) | $172 | $181 | $189 |
| Back pad (31 1/2 x 22 1/2) | $125 | $130 | $136 |
| Armchair full set (seat + back) | $172 | $181 | $189 |
Estimated pricing — $39 make-base + area at per-sq-ft rates, made to order. Final quote confirmed at checkout; welt cord and ties available as add-ons. Covers close with a sewn envelope closure (no zippers on our line).
Measure before you order
Three minutes with a tape measure prevents the classic IKEA mistake — ordering rounded inch sizes for metric fractions. Measure seam to seam, every distinct block, to the nearest quarter inch per our measuring guide; your numbers are cross-checked against the chart above before anything is cut.
Frequently asked questions
Why do HAVSTEN replacement cushions cost so much?
The official seat/back pad runs $190 per piece – a five-piece set approaches $1,000, which is why so many HAVSTEN frames sit cushion-less in owner reviews. A custom cut to the same official measurements (seat 32 1/4 x 34 1/4 x 9 7/8, back 31 1/2 x 22 1/2 x 7 7/8) typically lands well under half of that, in better foam.
My HAVSTEN cushion inserts fell apart - can I replace just the inserts?
Yes, and that is the cleanest fix when the outer covers are still good: we cut foam cores to the official pad dimensions that drop back into your existing covers. The factory inserts are poly fill in a thin gauze that shreds – a real foam core solves the problem permanently.
Will universal outdoor cushions fit HAVSTEN?
No. The seat pad runs 34 1/4 by 32 1/4 inches and nearly 10 thick – universal outdoor pads top out around 24 x 24 in standard lines. The non-standard size is exactly why owners report no lower-cost option exists off the shelf; it is a measured cut.
Can I upgrade HAVSTEN cushions to Sunbrella-class fabric?
Yes – solution-dyed acrylic over 50D-plus foam is our standard outdoor build for this line, and the covers are sewn to survive being removed and washed, which is precisely where the factory pads fail.
