OW Lee Silana Replacement Cushions — Custom Cut to Your Measurements

Silana seating was engineered around firm understructure, and the day the pads stop supporting like they used to, sit height and back angle both drift. Restoring that geometry takes new foam cut to your recorded dimensions — identification first, then the tape.

Silana: the short version

Silana is one of the rarer retired O.W. Lee catalog names — the kind that surfaces on dealer invoices more often than in any chart, because no chart ever carried it. Behind the name sits the same build as every line from this workshop: hand-forged frames in heavy gauge, upholstered to order, sold through dealers nationwide.

Support rebuilds are dimension work first. Place the frame in the Silana family with the cues below, tape the old pad or the deck to capture the original geometry, and the new set is cut to those figures in any of 119 upholstery options — stitched by the crew that ships them.

Support work stands on correct identity: check the structure — scrollwork done by hand on heavy-gauge frames, impossible to confuse with imports; check the rail — O.W. Lee fits a brass plaque or a stamped mark to every piece it builds; check the records — nationwide dealer sales, not big-box, mean an invoice or order history carries the collection name. Our taping walkthrough finishes the sequence.

Verifying the Silana line

Start with the maker, not the model: O.W. Lee frames carry a brass plaque or stamped mark on a frame rail, and the hand-forged weight is unmistakable against imports. If your set carries the mark and your paperwork once said “Silana”, the identification is done — the question is only which pad each piece takes.

Use the order trail: retired-line pieces were sold on dealer tickets that named the collection, finish and fabric. A dealer invoice, an old quote sheet, or email history with the store that sold the set beats frame-guessing.

Don’t confuse it with: fabric and colorway names that sound like collection names across the industry — a soft-sounding word on a tag can be a fabric, not a furniture line. The plaque names the maker and the invoice names the line; between them the soft names sort themselves out.

Old support, old channels: pads from retired runs appear on the factory-store clearance page in leftover cloth — listed dimensions, no re-cuts. Restoring Silana sit geometry through a measured rebuild depends on figures, not on whatever survives on that shelf.

Why no Silana chart reaches customers

Geometry cannot be restored from published sources, because there are none: O.W. Lee charts no per-collection cushion dimensions, and retired runs like Silana appear on no list anywhere. Dealer figures describe whole pieces, foam and frame as one. The three dimensions you record per pad — the original sit height included — are the complete specification we cut from.

When the badge is gone and the sale records with it, photos of the frame from two angles typically restore the name — after that, three dimensions per pad and the rebuild enters the schedule.

Geometry before fabric

Geometry first, fabric later: capture width, depth and seam thickness for every block using our measuring guide, each pad logged separately — sit height rides on these figures. No published chart exists, so the three entries per pad are the full specification the Silana rebuild follows.

Closest O.W. Lee neighbors: Cambria and Chalet — retired names with their own identification guides. More O.W. Lee identification guides sit on the brand page.

Fabric options & estimated pricing

Cover the new foam to match its duty: cotton linen for daily-service blocks, tech fabric where moisture finds the seat — it beads and wipes — and premium velvet for the formal positions, claw traffic included. the swatch spread in the configurator: all bolts, one rate, one measured cut underneath.

Support-grade rebuilds price from $168 per typical piece and scale with size and foam density across 35D–65D; every bolt of cloth bills the same. Checkout finalizes the figure, and the bench holds until your entries are re-verified. Zippered closures let each cover wash on its own.

Silana: bodies in the run

Silana is the retired line that moves under the sitter: its signature pieces ride coil-spring bases, and the family ran dining chairs in both spring and standard builds, an ottoman, and the three swivel heights — bar stool, counter stool and swivel dining chair. It is one of only two retired families we cut for where the word “spring” appears in the dealer piece names themselves, which makes the base the fastest identification cue in the catalog: look under the seat before anything else.

Coil-spring decks change two things about a rebuild. First, the pad’s working life — a flexing deck works the fill and the cover with every sit, so Silana pads retire years before their static cousins in other lines. Second, the measuring reference — across moving coils a ruler reads whatever the springs happen to be doing that moment, so the old cover’s seam lines are the true map of the original block edges. Lay the old pad flat, read the seams, and take the figures from the fabric rather than the steel.

Silana against its neighbors: the stool trio invites confusion with Casa and Chalet, but those families never moved — if the stool under your counter rides springs or turns on a swivel mechanism with give in it, the balance tips here. Against Heartland’s motion pieces, the vocabulary is lighter and the piece list shorter; the dealer invoice closes any remaining gap.

The design logic of Silana

Spring seating was sold as the comfort upgrade of its era, and the pitch still lands — owners of these lines describe the sit in the same words the brochures used. What the brochure did not cover is what two decades of cycling does to the pad above the springs. A measured rebuild with fresh fill returns the bounce to the ride, and the zippered cover keeps it serviceable in a way the original construction never planned for.

Frequently asked questions

Does OW Lee make Silana pads anymore?

No current support exists. Silana is charted nowhere in the active range; the factory store’s clearance shelf lists remaining pads as sized, and the dealer channel orders customs on 18–20 week tickets. Measured rebuilds — your geometry, 119 fabrics — run independently.

Will universal pads restore Silana sit height?

Support is where universals fail hardest: O.W. Lee decks run deep and to their own proportions, stock pads that fit the width sit wrong in depth or loft, and curvature escapes them entirely. Sit height comes back only through measured replacement.

How do I certify my frames are Silana?

The dealer invoice or original order record names the collection; the brass plaque or stamped mark names the maker. A name this rare is usually right when the paper says it — the check is confirming the maker, not the line.

Can geometry come from my tape, not a chart?

Yes — geometry restoration depends on it. Width, depth and thickness per block as you measure them; the entries are re-read against the piece count, and the build follows your figures to restore the sit.

What does a Silana support rebuild cost?

Support rebuilds quote from $168 the typical block, scaling with size and foam density between 35D and 65D; the fabric stays flat. Confirmed before any foam is shaped.

What’s the build-to-doorstep span?

Rebuild clock: 4–7 business days standard production, 3–5 on rush, flat-rate shipping on the last leg. Full journey: 3–6 weeks.

The guarantees on each order

• Over a decade at the benches — we shape, fill and sew each order ourselves; the process never detours through a broker or a dropship hub.
• Support-critical figures earn a double pass — the three entries per pad re-read against the piece count before any material is unrolled.
• Support rebuilds share the rule: no stocked sizes — any fabric, any block, single pieces to forty-piece orders.
• Tolerance and materials both guaranteed — misses past ±½″ (±¾″ above 36″), wrong cloth, wrong build — remade at no charge.

Silana support rebuilds from $168 per piece — confirm the line, capture geometry, clear the quote.
