How to Change Canvas Swing Bottom & Back Rest to Wood

Which foam should I choose for my custom cushions?

You should choose the type and quality of foam based on where and how often the custom cushions will be used. For example, some window seats or guest room cushions don't get a lot of use and can be made of our EconoFlex C-grade material. But, custom cushions for a family room sofa or around a dining banquette that will be used everyday should be made from our EverFlex or 100% natural latex cushions. People 200 pounds and heavier will need to choose the firmer foams to prevent bottoming out.

For Foam Type, we recommend the following:

• Outdoor cushions: If the cushions might get wet, we recommend our outdoor foam. If your cushions will not likely get wet then use any foam.
• Indoor cushions: Choose either the 100% natural latex or polyurethane foams.
• Memory foam cushions are fine to use when glued to a firmer base foam. Solid memory foam cushions are not recommended as they will bottom out when sat upon.
• Down Cushions: We offer solid down cushions and envelopes on our down cushions page. Down cushions are for indoor use only.

Back Cushions:

When ordering custom cushions for a back rest, we recommend softer (Everflex V24, or V34; or Econoflex C33) foams. Also, consider the bolster shape. Usually the top of a bolster is half the size of the base dimensions.

Custom Tips for Custom Foam Cushions

Custom Cushion Seating Height

The top of seat cushions should generally be between 18" and 20" when measuring from the floor. Any taller than this and some people won't be able to rest their feet comfortably on the floor. When designing seating, build the top of your platform or bench 14" to 16" from the ground. This will allow for a 2" to 4" cushion, which is a comfortable thickness. The final product will be between the ideal total height of 18–20".

We Recommend Batting

Polyester batting (white) around foam (yellow)

From the suggested additions choose a batting for your custom cushions. Batting is needed to fill out the cover and round the front edges. Without it your new custom cushions will show wrinkles in the fabric. Some cushions require batting on specific sides. To do this, be sure to add comments in the shopping cart on the item. If you really don't want any batting, then order the foam slightly thicker than the case to make sure it fills in as much as possible.

Restaurant and Commercial Seating

Since commercial seating gets a lot of use, only our EverFlex Rebond material will hold up. Use half EverFlex Rebond and half EverFlex V54 on top for the most durable foam combination. All other custom cushions will soften quickly in any commercial application. See our Restaurant and Bar page for more details.

Customer Satisfaction Guarantee

Speak with our expert customer service team if you need help choosing foam or custom cushion details. If you're not satisfied with you purchase, you may exchange most foam types, less a 25% restocking fee, for store credit only. During the checkout process you'll see the specific policy for the options you have chosen.

A Few Final Tips for Custom Foam Cushions:

• For custom bench cushions we recommend your cushions are not higher than 20" at the top of cushions edge.
• Custom couch cushions will be most comfortable if you choose cushions which are thick enough (given the right foam selection) for the weight of the person they are supporting. Don't order your custom made cushions too thin or soft and choose a quality of foam that will last. Our customer service team can help with this issue.
• Choose fabrics for your custom cushions which are suitable for the location where the cushions will be used. For example: custom bench cushions used in the kitchen should use a fabric which is easy to clean and ultra violet (UV) resistant. Custom bench cushions used in a hallway with little sun may use fabric without ultra violet (UV) resistance.
• Prices for our custom couch and other cushions are not standard and vary depending on the size, foam, and fabric chosen for the custom made cushions.
• Finally, for a great full look and super-comfort, consider our down envelopes instead of dacron wrapping around your custom cushions.
