Build Your 23 x 23 Cushion

Twenty-three square is the gap retail walks past — stock programs jump from 22 straight to 24, so a frame cut to 23 gets a pad that gapes or bunches no matter which way you round. Martha Stewart’s Lake Adele line is the documented exception, and most 23-inch buyers are giving a long-owned or second-hand set its first honest re-pad in years. That’s the moment custom cutting stops being a compromise and becomes the only sensible option.

We cut every 23 x 23 outdoor cushion to the measurements you send — width, depth, thickness — sewn to the quarter inch. Four inches is the dining-chair standard at this width; five restores lounge depth and is what Lake Adele ran from the factory. Fabric families run Tech Fabric, our leather-like waterproof weave that wipes clean — the outdoor workhorse; Cotton Linen, a durable everyday weave for covered patios and indoors; and Premium Velvet, plush claw-resistant velvet for indoor luxury. Foam density upgrades matter less than at oversized widths, but daily dining use still bottoms out standard foam first.

Pricing — estimated starting at

Foam densityEstimated price*
35D foam$155
50D foam$158
65D foam$169

*One cushion, 23 × 23 in. (3.67 sq ft top surface): $45 make-base + 3.67 sq ft × combined foam + fabric rate ($29.81/sq ft in 35D, $30.79 in 50D, $33.80 in 65D, each at the 5-inch default). Every fabric in the 119 lineup carries the same price — choose on looks, not budget. The from-135 entry pairs 35D foam with the thinnest 2-inch cut. Thickness is settled at checkout, and each dimension is confirmed with you before any cutting.

As a yardstick: U.S. specialists running custom configurators priced made-to-order cushions for common sizes (16×16 through 24×24) around $71–$119 before shipping in 2026 — numbers most buyers only see after asking for a quote. We print the formula above so you can audit the arithmetic first.

The one-inch problem: 23 in a 24-shelf world

Your tape measureClosest stock shelfWhat it looks like on the frame
23 × 23 in.24 × 24every edge overhangs half an inch — corners curl, rain pools in the fold
23 × 23 in.22 × 22an inch of bare frame at every edge — the gap reads before the comfort does

Why shelves skip 23: stock cutting runs on even-foot math — standard bolts and dies are laid out so 24 and its multiples leave the least off-cut waste. Twenty-three strands a strip too narrow to reuse, so no die was ever cut for it. Your tape measure doesn’t care about their waste.

How to measure a 23 x 23 cushion

23 x 23 outdoor cushions — square replacement pads for dining sets and lounge chairs, cut to your measurements
  • Flatten the old cushion out and read three numbers: edge-to-edge width, front-to-back depth, seam-to-seam thickness — zero pressure on the foam.
  • No old cushion? Measure the seat deck between the frame rails and arms, and send the raw numbers rather than rounding.
  • Photograph the label under the frame first — a model number can match you to a documented series chart in seconds.

The complete walkthrough, photographed step by step: How to Measure (and Identify) Your Cushions.

Fabric Options at 23 x 23

A 23 x 23 pad is usually the most-exposed cushion on the patio — horizontal, full-sun, hours of occupancy. Tech Fabric is the workhorse answer: waterproof, wipe-clean, unfazed by pool chemistry. Cotton Linen belongs under cover; Premium Velvet belongs indoors. For buyers comparing against Sunbrella-grade performance tiers, the honest tier-by-tier comparison — including what solution-dyeing actually buys in fade life — is in the outdoor fabric guide.

A sample of the 119-fabric range — every option is open in the configurator before you order.

Rare sizes, straight answers

Thickness and density at 23 x 23

Twenty-three inch squares are dining-and-lounge geometry: dining-set seats, standalone lounge chairs, occasional benches. Four inches is the dining standard at this width — firm enough to keep posture at a table; five restores lounge depth and is what Lake Adele ran from the factory. Below 3.5 inches, a pad this wide will dish between the seams long before the cover wears.

Density earns its price with use, not width: a 23-inch dining pad lives a harder life than its size suggests — daily meals, sun, wet swimsuits. 35D holds up for seasonal patios; 50D is the honest minimum for daily dining; 60D earns its price on chairs that host long evenings. All four grades, 35D–65D, are confirmed with your dimensions before cutting.

Twenty-three is the square between shelves — rarer in stores than the oversized sizes, because it fails every filter: too small for the “oversized” story, too odd for the standard runs. Frames that ask for it came from lines like Lake Adele, whose replacement pads dried up years before the furniture tired — buyers are usually the set’s second or third owner, working without labels, manuals, or any parts channel. The honest position: nobody stocks your size, no chart at a store will name your frame, and the number on your tape measure is the only specification that ever mattered.

That is less bleak than it sounds. Custom cutting treats 23 the same as 24 — same formula, same fabrics, same quarter-inch confirmation before the knife — and decimals are the norm here rather than the exception: 22.75, 23, 23.25 all price identically, and the measured entry is the one that fits. If the frame’s label survives anywhere, the replacement library may already hold its chart; if it does not, your tape measure is the chart.

Matched sets want one honest loft: a 23-inch seat next to a mismatched pad at a different thickness reads as a mistake from across the room. If the whole set is being re-cut, order every piece in one batch, one grade, one loft — the fix for a patched-together patio is symmetry, not staging.

A few from the 119-fabric lineup — review the full set, zoomed, in the configurator first.

When 23 x 23 means covers, not foam

Plenty of 23 x 23 searches end at slipcovers — the foam still stands up but the fabric gave out, and that job is smaller than a rebuild. We sew replacement covers to your seam-to-seam measurements in the same 119-fabric range, with zippers where the original had them. If the old cover still exists, mail it to us and we pattern from it directly — no measuring tape required. The honest cut-off: press the seat hard and if your hand does not feel the deck through the foam, covers alone will do; if it bottoms out, replace the foam in the same order and be done once.

Frequently asked questions

Because stock programs jump from 22 straight to 24 — 23 falls between the cutting dies, so nobody shelves it. Your frame was cut to 23 by a factory that expected you to reorder from it — we cut to the frame instead.
Neither — up leaves a half-inch overhang at every edge that curls and traps water; down leaves an inch of bare frame that reads before the comfort does. Order 23, or your exact measurement: 22.75 and 23.25 cost the same.
Dining-set seats and lounge chairs — Martha Stewart’s Lake Adele line ran 23 × 23 × 5 on both its six-piece set and its lounge chairs. Most other near-squares sit at 22 and 24; those pages list their own series.
It’s a chair-and-dining square rather than a sectional module — sectional seats run wider. If your set mixes sizes, order every piece in one batch, one fabric lot, one loft so they match.
Order matched sets in one run — adjacent new and old pads differ visibly in loft, and fabric ordered later will not match the first dye lot. If budget forces staging, replace in symmetry pairs so the mismatch never sits side by side.
Because the formula prices area, not rarity: $45 make-base plus square footage at the foam density’s rate. A 23-inch square costs close to a 24 because it is nearly the same square feet — the “unusual size” premium you would pay in the retail world does not exist where nothing is stocked and everything is cut to order.
