Custom Patio Cushions Cut to Your Measurements
Factory-direct, cut to your measurements — dining sets, deep seating, benches and chaises, one order, one fabric run.
A patio set is the hardest-working furniture you own. It sits out in full sun all summer, takes spring pollen and autumn rain, and gets sat on through all of it — and the industry builds it to a three-year clock: the frames hold up for a decade or two, the cushions fade and flatten long before. That is why patio cushion replacement is not an emergency purchase but a routine one, and why every spring the same search runs millions of times: custom patio cushions, cushions for patio chairs, replacement cushions for the set nobody stocks parts for anymore.
The replacement aisle answers with universal sizes cut to the average frame — and your set is not the average frame. Woven seats taper, metal frames curve, dining squares run a half-inch proud of the rails. This page is the factory answer: every piece on the patio — dining chairs, deep seating, benches, chaise lounges, swings — measured by you, cut to your numbers, sewn in the fabric you pick, with the whole set leaving in one matched dye lot. Standard sizes too — in 3 clicks: if your deck takes a common square, type the standard numbers into the customizer and get the same instant factory-direct quote.
Build Your Patio Cushion
Build your patio cushion — start with the shape below.
Patio sets mix shapes by design: dining squares, deep-seating rectangles, trapezoid wicker decks, long bench runs. Pick a shape per piece, enter your measurements, and the estimate appears as you type — one order can carry the whole set.
Dining sets, deep seating, benches, chaises — every patio piece is the same job: pick a shape and type your numbers.
Pricing — estimated starting at
| Fabric tier | Estimated price* |
|---|---|
| Cotton Linen | $77 |
| Tech Fabric | $80 |
| Premium Velvet | $83 |
*One patio dining seat (19 × 19 × 3 in.): $39 make-base + 2.5 sq ft × rate ($15.32/$16.43/$17.56 per sq ft, 3" 50D foam + fabric). Deep-seating pieces, bench runs and chaise lounges price on their own area at the same formula — every piece on the patio, one calculator.
For comparison: the big patio specialists run configurators that quote only after you build the whole set, and their stock sets re-price every season. We publish the formula above so you can check the math before you order.

Yours differs? That’s the point — we cut to your numbers.
How to Measure a Patio Cushion
- Measure the seat deck, not the frame rails and not the old cushion — width and depth edge to edge to the nearest quarter inch; on tapered decks record front and back widths separately.
- Match thickness to the seat type: 2.5–3 inches on dining chairs keeps knee height; 5–6 inches is the deep-seating lounging spec.
- Note the tie points before ordering — slat gaps, weave gaps, frame bars — so ties land where your furniture can actually fasten them.
- Full sets: measure one of each piece type, then count — matched runs leave the factory with the same loft and the same dye lot.

Fabric for a Patio That Lives in the Sun
The patio is the harshest address in the house: full sun, rain, pollen, sprinkler overspray. Fabric decides whether a cushion survives it. Budget polyester fades in one strong summer because the color sits on the fiber; solution-dyed acrylic — the Sunbrella-grade weave outdoor specialists build their names on — carries color inside the fiber and holds it for years, and our waterproof Tech Fabric adds a wipe-clean face for dining sets and poolside. The honest tier-by-tier comparison lives in our outdoor fabric guide.
Under the cover, the same logic: a foam core sheds rain and dries from the inside, where a fiber-only pad soaks and compacts — the difference shows up in season two, which is exactly when stock replacements start dying.
We Build for Every Piece on the Patio
One patio, five different jobs — each with its own build:
| Your patio has… | What we cut |
|---|---|
| A dining set | 17–20" seat squares at 2.5–3" with matching back pads — ties at the slat gaps, one dye lot across every chair |
| An umbrella table | Seats with a center hole cut to your pole diameter, or an edge notch for cantilever arms — measured from deck edge to hole center |
| Deep seating or a sectional | 22–26 × 23–27" decks at 5–6" with tall back pads — the deep-seat build |
| A bench at the railing | 3–6 ft deck pads with tie-throughs at the slat gaps — outdoor bench cushions |
| Chaises by the pool | Hinged one-piece loungers or seat + back sets, 42–50" deep — chaise lounge cushions |
| A swing or glider | Motion-duty seats and backs with reinforced ties — porch swing cushions |
Mixed sets are the normal order here — six dining squares, two deep seats and a bench in one run, each piece priced on its own area, all of it matched.
Frequently asked questions
What are standard patio cushion sizes?
Most patio dining chairs take 17–20 inch squares at 2.5–3 inches thick, deep-seating seats run 22–26 by 23–27 at 5–6 inches, and bench pads run 36–60 by 16–18. But frames vary far more than the size names suggest — measure your own deck and let the numbers decide.
Should I measure my old cushions or the furniture?
Measure the furniture, not the old pad. The seat deck under the worn cushion is the truth; the pad itself has stretched, shrunk or slumped into a shape that never matches the frame. Width and depth of the deck, edge to edge, to the nearest quarter inch.
How thick should patio cushions be?
2.5–3 inches keeps dining-chair knee height and a straight sit. Deep seating is built around 5–6 inches because the lounging posture sinks in. Thickness is a seat-type decision first and a comfort decision second.
Can you cut an umbrella hole in a patio cushion?
Yes — a center hole for through-table umbrellas or an edge notch for cantilever arms. Measure the pole diameter and the distance from the deck edges to the hole center, and we cut it with the same tolerance as the rest of the cushion.
What fabric is best for a full-sun patio?
Solution-dyed acrylic — the color is in the fiber, not on it — or our waterproof Tech Fabric weave. Budget polyester fades in a single strong summer; solution-dyed weaves are the grade outdoor specialists build their names on.
How do patio cushions attach to the furniture?
Ties at slat gaps and weave openings, an anti-slip underside on solid decks, or both on chairs that get dragged around the patio. Tell us where your frame can fasten a tie and the straps land there, not at a generic midpoint.
My patio seats are an odd shape — can you still cut them?
Trapezoids, rounds, saddles, L-shaped corner pieces — the customizer carries 11 shapes, and tapered decks just need front and back widths entered separately. The odd shapes are where universal pads fail first and custom earns its keep.
