OW Lee Cibolo Replacement Cushions — Custom Cut to Your Measurements

Each spring, Cibolo owners pull last season’s pads out of storage and find compression lines, mildew blooms or zippers that gave up over winter. The seasonal reset is simple once the line is named and three figures per position are on paper.

Cibolo at a glance

Cibolo belongs to the retired end of the O.W. Lee catalog — a place-name line (Cibolo is a Texas town) from the era when the factory named collections freely and charted nothing publicly. Behind the name sits the build every line from this workshop shares: hand-forged frames in heavy gauge, upholstered to order, sold through dealers nationwide.

The spring reset has a shape: name the line, tape each position, order by count. Cibolo pads are then cut to your recorded figures in whichever of 119 upholstery options suits the season — one rate across the whole book, built where it ships.

Before the spring order, run the audit: construction — scrollwork forged by hand across heavy-gauge frames, the anti-import signature; markings — a brass plaque or a stamped rail mark on every O.W. Lee piece; provenance — sold through a nationwide dealer body, not big-box aisles, so the invoice or order history states the collection in plain text. Our taping walkthrough takes over from there.

The Cibolo identification pass

Start with the maker’s marks: a brass plaque or stamped frame rail, hand-forged weight, and a baked-on finish — the constants across every O.W. Lee line, Cibolo included. Imports carry none of the three; one lifted chair end usually settles which world your set is from.

Use the order trail: Cibolo pieces were sold on dealer tickets that named the collection. A dealer invoice, an old quote, or email history with the store that sold the set beats frame-guessing. Place names are easy to remember and easy to search in old records.

Don’t confuse it with: the Hampton Bay “Cibola” line — one letter apart, no second “o”, a different company sold at a different retailer. Hampton Bay is Home Depot’s house brand on white-label frames; O.W. Lee is the dealer-network workshop. Where you bought it and what the plaque says settle the two in seconds.

Seasonal restocks meet a thin market: retired-run pads surface on the factory-store clearance shelf in leftover materials — dimensions as listed, re-cuts unavailable. A measured Cibolo rebuild from your figures is the yearly reset that leftover stock cannot hold hostage.

Why Cibolo sizing stays undocumented

The audit that starts each season runs into the same gap: no per-collection pad dimensions from O.W. Lee, no chart for retired names like Cibolo, and dealer-page numbers that describe complete pieces rather than pads. The size table below stays empty on purpose — three dimensions per position off your own set, and that is the whole spec.

Plaque worn smooth, records nowhere? A photo set of the frame generally names the line — then every position yields three dimensions and the spring order is underway.

Pre-order measurements

The spring audit’s numbers step: tape every position with our measuring guide — width, depth, seam thickness — and log each pad’s figures on its own line. No factory chart was printed, so those three entries per position are the complete specification for the Cibolo season’s order.

Closest O.W. Lee neighbors: Vista and Ashbury — retired names from the same catalog era. Each O.W. Lee line has a guide on the brand index.

Fabric options & estimated pricing

Season’s change, cover’s choice: cotton linen as the dependable daily weave, tech fabric for the wet months — water-resistant and wipe-clean in a pass — and premium velvet for the entertaining stretch, tested against claws. The the fabric panel at checkout keeps every bolt at one flat rate over the same measured cut.

Seasonal rebuilds quote from $168 for a typical piece, sized and graded — 35D to 65D — with the fabric flat across the range. The checkout figure is final, and production holds for confirmed numbers. Covers come off on their zips for the wash.

Cibolo body styles on record

Cibolo shipped as a compact lounge family of three bodies: the lounge loveseat-sofa sets that anchored the group, a large ottoman scaled to serve two seats at once, and the ottoman stool that closed the line as a single-servant footrest. No dining chairs, no swivel heights, no chaise — this was a conversation-group program through and through, which makes it the easiest retired family to bound: if your piece is a low, wide seat or an ottoman in heavy scrollwork, you are inside its three-body world.

The large ottoman is the piece that earns a second look. Because it was drawn to share between two seats, its pad runs long enough that both end measurements matter — long ottoman rails drift out of parallel exactly like bench frames do, and a pad cut to one end alone will show a gap at the other. Measure width at both ends plus depth and height, and note whether the corners have worn round with age; the rebuild follows the pad’s own geometry as sewn, not an idealized rectangle from a brochure that never existed.

Cibolo against its neighbors: against Cibolo’s three bodies, Studio ran its own small modular set, and the two get confused at the ottoman. The tell is companionship — a Cibolo ottoman arrives with a loveseat and sofa in the same scroll vocabulary, while a Studio ottoman arrives with sectional blocks in cleaner lines. A lone ottoman with no family nearby identifies best from the dealer paper.

Context: how Cibolo was designed

Small families age as a unit, and Cibolo orders prove it: the ottoman almost always needs the same re-covering as the seating it serves, because the same seasons sat on all of it. The efficient order here is the matched set — seating blocks and ottoman in one run, one fabric, one set of figures taken the same afternoon — and the result reads as a new group on frames that still have decades in them.

Frequently asked questions

Are original Cibolo pads still produced?

The seasonal reality: no active program. Cibolo is retired; the factory outlet’s clearance shelf moves leftover pads at listed sizes, and dealers book custom replacements at 18–20 weeks. Spring rebuilds through us start at the foam — your figures, 119 fabrics open.

Do universal-fit cushions work on Cibolo furniture?

Each spring they surface in the returns queue: O.W. Lee decks run deep and exact, so universal pads fitting the width sit wrong in depth or loft, and curvature defeats the pattern. Measured builds — re-taped each season if needed — keep the sit true.

How do I pin down Cibolo as the line I own?

The dealer invoice or original order record names the collection; the brass plaque or stamped mark names the maker. And check the spelling against the Hampton Bay “Cibola” — one letter and a whole different company.

Can you build from my measurements only?

Every season’s orders do. You tape width, depth and thickness per position; we check the figures against the piece count, then cut to them — no documentation required at any step.

What do Cibolo rebuilds typically run?

Seasonal work starts at $168 the typical piece; size and density — 35D to 65D — move it, material never. The confirmed number comes before the bench.

What’s the make-and-ship window?

The season’s clock: 4–7 business days to build standard, 3–5 rushed, plus flat-rate shipping — 3–6 weeks from order to doorstep.

The standard every set ships to

• Ten years and counting on the same floor — orders cut, filled and sewn on-site; brokers and dropshippers have no role here.
• Season orders pass the same gate — three entries per pad re-verified against the piece count before the first bolt is opened.
• Season to season, nothing is pre-built — any fabric, any position, one pad or forty on the ticket.
• Every season’s orders are covered — cuts past ±½″ (±¾″ over 36″), wrong material or wrong make — remade free.

This season’s Cibolo order from $168 per piece — audit, tape, quote, sew.
