Bench Cushion Thickness

While cushion thickness preferences vary, it’s crucial to select a thickness that complements your bench frame. An ill-fitting cushion—whether too thick or too thin—can significantly impact comfort and aesthetics.

Armrest Consideration

If your bench has armrests, avoid cushions that are too thick, as this may cause the armrests to sit uncomfortably low. Always factor in the height of both the bench frame and armrests when making your selection.
Reference Existing Cushions
If you have an old bench cushion, measure its thickness to determine what works best for your setup.
Simulate with Books
Stack books on the bench to test different heights and find the ideal thickness for your comfort needs.

Bench Cushion Width

Measure the actual furniture area you want covered, not your old cushion width. This ensures proper coverage and fit.

Box Edge Construction Note

Bench cushions with box edge construction will have a slight bulge on the front, sides, and back due to the filling material. If placing your cushion in a tight space, we recommend reducing the width by ½ inch to accommodate this natural expansion. For multiple cushions placed side-by-side in confined areas, reduce each cushion’s width by ½ inch to ensure a proper fit.

Bench Cushion Depth

Measure from the front edge of the bench to the back edge. For benches with backs, measure to where the seat meets the backrest.

Measuring the Notches

Heads up on the corners—don’t miss the notching. You’ll likely need a cut-out on each of the four corners for a proper fit. Make sure you’re crystal clear on whether they need to be notched before finalizing the numbers.
