CUSTOM CUSHIONS NEAR ME
Custom Cushions Near Me — Made to Your Measurements, Shipped to Your Door
Skip the local phone calls — measure once, order online, and get factory-direct cushions shipped to your door.
Searching “custom cushions near me” usually leads to three places: a local upholsterer, a fabric shop that sews to order, or an online made-to-measure workshop. Upholstery shops show up on Yelp, Angi and Google Maps under “upholstery near me” and suit pieces that need an in-person visit; fabric shops often keep sewers on file for small jobs. This page walks all three routes, then makes the case for the third: factory-direct cushions made to your measurements and shipped to your door in all 50 states — no showroom visit, no middleman markup. You can start your cushion in the configurator at any point.
Below: who to call locally (and when that genuinely wins), how the online route works step by step, and an honest side-by-side on price, wait and fabric choice — so the decision takes one page, not a weekend of phone calls.
Your Local Options — Where “Near Me” Actually Leads
Before comparing routes, know what the search actually turns up. Three kinds of local businesses make or source custom cushions, and each works differently — with different price tags, wait times and limits on what they will take on. Worth knowing all three before you pick up the phone.
Upholstery Shops
The classic answer. Search “upholstery near me” on Google Maps, Yelp or Angi and you will find shops that recover furniture; most will also sew cushions from scratch. Work is commonly quoted by the hour plus fabric, so a simple seat pad can bill like a small re-upholstery job, and many shops prioritize furniture recoveries over small cushion orders. Lead times run to the shop’s queue — often several weeks to a few months out.
Patio Furniture & Big-Box Stores
The store that sold you the set usually stocks replacement pads only while the model is current — once the line is discontinued, nothing fits. Most big-box stores do not offer made-to-measure cutting at all; a few patio specialists run re-cover services, priced per piece and booked around the season.
Fabric Shops with Sewers on File
Many fabric stores keep a list of home sewers who take custom work. Fabric selection is the draw — you can touch everything on the bolt — but sizing precision and finish quality depend on the individual sewer, and there is rarely anything in writing if the fit comes out off.
When local genuinely wins: oversized sectionals that need an on-site template, heirloom pieces you will not ship, and buyers who must touch fabric before committing to a color. For everything else, the comparison below is worth five minutes.
The Factory-Direct Alternative — How Online Custom Cushions Work
The online route replaces the showroom visit with a tape measure and a menu. The workshop that cuts your cushion is the workshop that ships it — one team, one written tolerance, no retail layer between you and the sewing bench. Four steps, start to delivered:
Old cushion flat on a table: width, depth, thickness, edge to edge. It is the perfect template.
119 fabrics in indoor and outdoor tiers; three foam densities from firm to rock-solid.
Made in 4–7 business days (rush 3–5) to your numbers — written tolerance of ±½ in. (±¾ in. over 36 in.).
Flat $29 per order, free over $158 — delivered in all 50 states, typically within the 4-7 business-day window.
Can’t Touch the Fabric? The Swatch Library
The real worry behind “near me” is color and texture you haven’t seen. Two answers. The configurator’s swatch library shows all 119 fabrics — named, photographed, tagged indoor or outdoor — before you commit. And fabric swatches with size guides are available by email: write to [email protected] with the cushion type you’re considering, and we reply within one business day.
Torn Between Two Colorways? Order Both
Made-to-order means nothing is locked. A practical move for color-anxious buyers: order the seat set in your first choice and a spare set in the second. You sit on the winner, keep the runner-up in rotation for parties, pets and seasons — and a second set doubles the working life of the seat.
What Every Cushion Is — and Isn’t
Each face is a single flat fabric panel with square corners and knife-edge seams stitched flush: no ties, no non-slip backing, no piping, no tufted buttons. A cushion cut to your exact measurements fits snug — and a snug fit stays put.
Local Shop vs Online Factory — An Honest Side-by-Side
Read the table honestly and neither column sweeps it. A good local upholsterer earns their rate on complicated furniture and fabric hand-holding; a factory-direct workshop wins on price transparency, written tolerances and fabric range. The right answer depends on which of those your project actually needs.

The Projects Behind a “Near Me” Search
Most “near me” searches come down to a handful of projects. These pages map the common ones — sizes, shapes and fabrics for each.
Bench Cushions
Entryway, kitchen and outdoor benches in every length: the outdoor bench cushion guide, extra-long runs from 60 to 96 inches, kitchen bench duty specs and the popular 50 x 21 bench size.
Dining Chair Pads
The most-ordered custom size family: 16 x 16 seats, 18 x 20 patio pads and the full size ladder. Re-covering instead of replacing starts with how to reupholster dining chairs.
Wicker & Rattan
Frames that outlive their pads: replacement cushions for wicker and rattan furniture and the wicker chaise measuring guide.
Patio, Porch & Window Seats
Deep seats and adjustable backs in the patio lounge chair guide; angled radii and center sections in the bay window cushion guide.
Brand-name frames? The replacement brands hub maps Hampton Bay, Martha Stewart and IKEA series to their exact-fit pages.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to have cushions custom made?
Most custom seat cushions from our workshop start around $89 for a small dining-chair pad and scale with size, thickness and fabric. The configurator prices your exact dimensions before you commit — no quote wait, no showroom visit.
Where can I get replacement cushions made?
Three routes: a local upholsterer (findable on Yelp, Angi or Google Maps under “upholstery near me”), a fabric shop with sewers on file, or a factory-direct workshop like Cushion Mill that cuts to your measurements and ships nationwide. The comparison table above lays out the trade-offs.
How do I measure for a custom cushion?
Lay the old cushion flat and measure width, depth and thickness edge to edge — seam to seam, not around the curve. No old cushion? Measure the seat deck between the frame rails. Five minutes with a steel tape; decimals like 23.5 and fractions like 23 1/2 both work.
Do you ship to my area?
We ship to all 50 states. Shipping is a flat $29 per order and free on orders over $158; your exact rate shows at checkout before you pay anything.
Which foam density should I choose?
Seat cushions that take daily sitting do best at 60D foam; back cushions and light-use pieces are comfortable at 50D. The configurator flags the recommended density for your cushion type as you build.
How long does it take to get custom cushions made?
Production runs 4–7 business days (rush 3–5); made and shipped in 4-7 business days. Straightforward rectangles run toward the fast end; hinged chaises and notched pieces take the full window.
Can I see the fabric before ordering?
Yes. The configurator’s swatch library photographs all 119 fabrics with names and indoor/outdoor tags, and fabric swatches are available by email at [email protected] — we reply within one business day.
What if the fit is wrong when it arrives?
Your confirmed dimensions are the written standard: within ½ in. (¾ in. on runs over 36 in.) is hand-sewn reality; outside it, we remake the piece free. Full terms are on the Shipping & Returns page.
Measure Tonight. Sit on It This Season.
An old cushion, a steel tape, five minutes — that is the whole local-visit advantage, done at your kitchen table. Cushion Mill workshop cuts to whatever numbers you send, in any of 119 fabrics, and ships to all 50 states: made in 4–7 business days (rush 3–5), made and shipped in 4-7 business days, flat $29 shipping and free over $158.
