Replacement Patio Chair Cushions, Custom Cut to Your Measurements
Factory-direct, cut to your measurements — any patio set, any brand, any fabric.
Patio chairs are the least standardized seats in the yard: every brand’s "dining chair" runs a different deck — 17, 18.5, 19.5, radiused corners or square, tapered or straight — and the sets that need new cushions are usually the ones nobody stocks parts for anymore. The replacement aisle answers with universal pads cut for the average chair, and yours is not the average chair.
We cut replacement patio chair cushions to your measurements — seat pads, back pads, full sets — in one production run so the whole table matches in loft and dye lot. Named Hampton Bay and Martha Stewart series pull straight from our measured charts; everything else pulls from your tape measure. Non-standard decks are not the exception here, they are the job.

Pricing — estimated starting at
| Fabric tier | Estimated price* |
|---|---|
| Cotton Linen | $77 |
| Tech Fabric | $80 |
| Premium Velvet | $83 |
*One patio chair 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). Back pads and full sets price on their own area — sets of 4–6 are multiples in one run so the dye lots match.
For comparison: U.S. custom-configurator specialists’ 2026 listings run made-to-order cushions well above formula price once configured — and most only reveal that number after a quote request. We publish the formula above so you can check the math before you order.
Popular Patio Chair Sizes We Cut
Patio chair cushion sizes by chair type (typical, always measure):
| Piece | Typical size | Notes |

| Woven-frame patio chair | 19–28 W, often trapezoid | Front-wider decks — see wicker chair cushions |
| Saddle & rounded decks | Radiused corners, curved fronts | Sketch or template beats numbers on curves |
Yours differs? That’s the point — we cut to your numbers.
How to Measure a Patio Chair Cushion
- Measure the seat deck under the old cushion, edge to edge, to the nearest quarter inch — the deck is the truth, not the sagging pad.
- Front and back widths on any deck that tapers — more than half an inch apart means a trapezoid cut, and a rectangle will bunch.
- Backs: width, height, and the tie points at actual slat or weave gaps — ties that land on solid material fasten to nothing.
- Full sets: measure one of each piece type, then count — and measure any chair that looks different from its neighbors, because heads and arms run wider.

Fabric for Chairs That Live Outside
Patio chairs sit in the open by default, so fabric is a weather decision first: tech fabric (waterproof, wipe-clean) for open decks, cotton linen for covered placements, premium velvet for screened rooms. On fill, foam-core builds shed rain and dry standing on edge — the difference from fiber pads shows up in season two. The tier-by-tier comparison is in the fabric guide.

Universal Fit vs Made-to-Measure
- The universal-fit promise is a pad cut for the average patio chair: one rectangle, one tie pattern, one thickness. On decks that match the average it works; on tapered decks it bunches, on radiused corners it overhangs, and its ties land where your frame has no openings. The price is low and so is the fit rate — the classic spring purchase that gets returned by June.
- The made-to-measure path is ten minutes with a tape measure and a pad cut to the deck you actually have: front and back widths recorded separately, radius noted, ties placed at real gaps, thickness matched to the seat height. Nothing is warehoused, so your size is never out of stock — the trade is measuring instead of returning.
- The replacement reality is that patio set dimensions wander brand by brand and year by year — which is why replacement, not retail, is the normal path for a set past its first set of cushions. Named series with factory-measured dimensions live in our replacement cushions library; everything else starts with your tape measure.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order standard patio chair cushion sizes?
Standard sizes too — in 3 clicks: most patio dining chairs take 17–20 inch squares at 2.5–3 thick — stock squares like 18 × 18 and 20 × 20. Type the standard numbers into the customizer for the same instant factory-direct quote — nothing is warehoused, so no size is ever out of stock.
Will universal patio chair cushions fit my set?
On a deck that matches the average, often close enough. On tapered, radiused, or woven-frame decks — which is most of them past a few seasons — universal pads bunch at the taper, overhang the corners, and their ties land on solid material. The comparison is unpacked in custom vs standard cushions.
My patio set is from a brand you don’t list. Can you still make cushions?
Yes — that is most of what we do. Check the replacement library first for factory-measured Hampton Bay, Martha Stewart and IKEA series; if your set is not there, the platform under the cushion is the only trustworthy spec and we cut to it.
Do you sell cushions for patio chairs in matching sets?
Yes — seat pads, back pads and the full table run in one production run, so every piece shares the same loft and the same dye lot. Measure one of each piece type, then count; per-chair numbers cost nothing extra on our cutting forms.
What fabric is best for patio chair cushions?
A weatherproof woven over a foam core for open decks — tech fabric wipes clean and the foam sheds rain; solution-dyed acrylic is the upgrade path for full-sun color life. Covered patios can relax the spec — the honest tier comparison is in the fabric guide.
