Custom Seat Cushions, Made to Your Measurements
Factory-direct, cut to your measurements — dining, kitchen, bar stools, banquettes.
Every cushion this factory ships is, at some level, a seat cushion — but when people type the words, they mean the pad itself: the square or round that goes under you on a dining chair, a kitchen chair, a stool, a bench seat. The seat cushion aisle answers with universal 17- and 18-inch squares stuffed with fiber, and they fit the way free-size t-shirts fit — close enough to buy, never close enough to stop noticing.
This page is the hub for the seat-pad job in every room it comes up. The collections below branch to the chair types with their own build pages — dining, bar and counter stools, banquettes, nooks — and every build is the same answer: measure the deck, pick the fabric tier, get an instant factory-direct estimate. We are a custom shop, not a catalog, which is why your size is never out of stock.

Pricing — estimated starting at
| Fabric tier | Estimated price* |
|---|---|
| Cotton Linen | $73 |
| Tech Fabric | $76 |
| Premium Velvet | $78 |
*One dining seat pad (18 × 18 × 3 in.): $39 make-base + 2.25 sq ft × rate ($15.32/$16.43/$17.56 per sq ft, 3" 50D foam + fabric). Rounds, thinner pads and bench runs price on their own area at the same formula — every seat, one calculator.
For comparison: a big-box four-pack of universal seat pads runs $25–$45 and averages a season and a half before the fiber flattens. We publish the formula above so you can check the math before you order.
Popular Seat Cushion Sizes We Cut
Common seat decks and their typical sizes (typical, always measure):
| Seat | Typical size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dining / kitchen chair | 16–20" squares, 2–3" | Stock-friendly squares: 15 × 15, 20 × 20 |
| Bar & counter stool | 13–16" rounds and squares | Bar stool cushions — swivel and backless builds |
| Banquette / nook bench | 36–72 × 16–18 | Banquette cushions, seat plus back |
| Bench seat | 36–60 × 14–18 | Bench cushions — the long-deck family |
| Swivel / glider seat | 18–21 × 17–20 | Glider cushions — motion-duty fastening |
| Patio dining seat | 17–20" squares | Dining chair cushions — the weatherproof tier |
Seat thickness runs 2–3 inches on chairs and stools — the constraint is knee-to-table clearance, not comfort. Deep seats and benches take more where the frame allows.
Yours differs? That’s the point — we cut to your numbers.
How to Measure a Seat Cushion
- Measure the seat deck, not the old pad — width and depth edge to edge to the nearest quarter inch; on curved or trapezoid decks record front and back widths separately.
- Check the fastening the chair allows: slat backs and weave gaps take ties, solid decks take anti-slip undersides, and swivel seats fasten to the rotating deck.
- Thickness is a clearance decision — sit at the table with the old pad, note the knee room, and match what worked or fix what didn’t.
- Full sets: measure one of each chair type, then count — matched sets leave the factory with the same loft and the same dye lot.

Fabric by the Seat It Serves
The fabric tier should match the seat’s real life: a formal dining chair that hosts holidays can carry velvet; the kitchen chair that seats breakfast every morning wants a wipe-clean woven; the banquette under daily traffic wants the toughest grade in the house. Every tier covers the same foam core — the honest comparison lives in our fabric guide, and outdoor seats carry the weatherproof pool.

Frequently asked questions
Do you sell standard seat cushion sizes?
Standard sizes too — in 3 clicks: seats cluster at 16–20 inch squares at 2–3 inches thick — stock squares like 18 × 18 and 20 × 20. Type the numbers into the customizer for the same instant factory-direct quote — nothing is warehoused, so no size is ever out of stock.
How thick should a seat cushion be?
2–3 inches on dining and kitchen seats — every inch lifts knees toward the tabletop, and thin seat frames have less room than people think. Bar and counter seats run 2 inches where the footrest is tight.
What is the difference between a seat cushion and a chair cushion?
The words overlap heavily. In our shop’s usage, a seat cushion is the pad alone — one deck, one rectangle or round — while a chair cushion usually means the chair’s full set: seat plus back, tied or strapped to a specific chair type. Same factory, same pricing formula, different piece count.
How do I keep a seat cushion from sliding on a smooth chair?
An anti-slip underside on solid decks, ties through slat or weave gaps where the chair has them — and for swivel stools, fasten to the rotating deck itself so cushion and seat spin as one.
What fabric works for kitchen seat cushions?
A wipe-clean woven — tech fabric or a canvas-grade — over a foam core. Kitchen seats take spills daily; fabric you can only dry-clean is the wrong tier for the room.
Can one order mix seat cushions for different chairs?
Yes — one order mixes dining seats, bar rounds and bench runs, each pad priced on its own area, and everything in the same fabric tier ships from one dye lot.
