24" x 24" Outdoor Cushions – Custom Made to Your Exact Size

A 24-inch square is the defining deep-seating module, and thickness is what separates the builds. Three inches is dining duty — it exists, but it undersells the frame. Five inches is the standard the furniture was designed around: seat height, back pitch, and the gap your knees expect all assume it. Six inches is the plush tier for frames that get naps, not conversations. Below 4.5 on a daily-use lounge chair, most foams dish inside a season, and the pad starts sliding toward the front rail.

Backs are their own decision. A back cushion in this family of frames usually runs the seat width and 18–26 inches high, with 4–7 inches of loft, often cut as a wedge — thicker at the bottom, where the frame’s recline leaves a gap. Measure loft at the top and the bottom separately, and order seats and backs in one run so the loft and the dye lot agree across the set.

Ordering 24 x 24 cushions as a set

Most 24-inch squares do not travel alone. Deep-seating sets run four to six seats; sectionals run three to five blocks plus a corner; firepit groups run four seats and an ottoman. Search behavior agrees with the furniture: “set of 4” and “set of 6” qualifiers ride along with this square more often than with any other. We cut sets the way sets should be cut — every piece from one fabric run, one foam grade, one production batch, so the pieces match in loft and in color.

Practical notes for set orders: enter each piece type once and set the quantity, or list every module individually when they differ — sectionals with a corner wedge or a chaise end are not six identical squares, and the order form treats them as the pieces they are. Mixed runs are normal: four seats, two backs, and an ottoman travel on one order, each priced on its own area at the same formula. And if half the set is sound, replace in symmetry pairs at minimum — a new pad next to a settled one shows at the loft line, and staging by piece type keeps the mismatch from sitting side by side.

Set shapes and set math at 24 x 24

A loveseat deck takes two seat squares end to end or one joined pad — joined pads cannot flip to even out wear, separate squares can. Sectional corner wedges run roughly 27 × 27 with a diagonal front and get measured as their own piece, neither seat nor chaise. Firepit circles vary most — measure each deck rather than trusting one number for the ring. And the ottoman top at 19–24 inches is the piece people forget, and the piece that finishes the set.

The set math, at the per-seat prices above ($147 in 35D, $150 in 50D, $161 in 65D): a six-seat re-pad is simply six seats at those per-seat prices, and a Riley sectional runs the same arithmetic on its own seat count. Mixed patios pick thickness by chair type, not by one blanket spec. Two practical notes: sun-faded neighbors make a single new pad stand out — same-batch re-pads keep the color even — and while each pad carries the ±½″ tolerance, six pads side by side can show the drift at the seams, so measure each seat opening and send per-seat numbers rather than one for all six.

Same square, different builds: what the chart hides

The chart lists one plane — 24 × 24 — but three thickness ecosystems. Riley sectionals run a slim 3.5, Lily Bay sets the 5-inch standard across its six-piece sets and lounge chairs, and the heavy chairs that drift to 24 × 25 — Verrado club and loveseat at 6, Middletown at 5.5 — sit at the top of the range. The chair type sets the foam, not the footprint: swivel and dining frames carry light pads, club and lounge frames carry the thick ones. Thickness is also the upgrade dial when you rebuild — lifting a Riley seat from 3.5 to the Lily Bay 5 raises the sitting height an inch and a half, fine if your thighs still meet the armrest, wrong if the chair was designed low.

Two chart neighbors sit outside the ±½″ tolerance of a true 24 × 24 — Melbourne at 24 × 25 × 4 and Chateau at 24 × 25.5 — so they quote on the 24 x 26 depth tier ($160 in 50D foam, against $150 here) while keeping the same look. And watch the one reversed entry: the Edington swivel back at 24.5 × 22.5 is wider than it is deep — backs are measured along the horizontal rail, not front-to-back, and a 24 x 24 chair usually needs its back measured separately from its seat.

Chair types, rotating decks, and wind

The square is a module, but the frames around it differ — and the differences are what make a pad fit or float. Deep-seat lounge chairs are the reference fit, most library entries among them. Swivel and swivel-rocker frames ask whether the rotating deck is round or square before anything else. Wicker lounge chairs often taper — front wider than back — and a tapered deck wants a trapezoid cut, not a square. Oversized dining armchairs want 3–4 inches of foam so knees still clear the table. Club chairs on covered patios are the Verrado build — depth runs a touch past 24, so measure, don’t assume.

Wind is the wide square’s honest problem: catch area grows with the square of the side, and the gust that lifts an 18-inch pad walks a 24-inch one off the frame entirely. The mechanical answers: an exact-fit cut that sits the deck instead of floating on it, pads brought inside when wind is forecast, and on smooth decks — resin, metal, composite — a thin non-slip rug pad trimmed slightly smaller than the cushion, laid flat underneath.
