Indoor bench cushion?

4 replies

We are creating a window seat and also have a wooden bench in our house. Would like to buy a long cushion to cover each so they can be sat on comfortably. All Google searches seem to lead to outdoor cushions though!

Does anyone have any suggestions? Looking for something reasonably priced if possible, and appreciate the sizes might not match but would be great to have some starters for ten..

Thanks a lot in advance!

Look at //www.fabricmills.co.uk/upholstery/window-seats who may have what you are looking for.
I know nothing about them whatsoever.
Alternatively, search on eBay for upholstery foam and make your own.

IKea do a bench cushion for the stuva range. I’ve heard it’s relatively easy to make your own though.

If you can use a sewing machine and have basic sewing skills, it is relatively easy to make your own. I made some v big ones for a dd. Ordered the foam cut to the right size, then cut patterns for tops, bottoms and sides from squared pattern paper from John Lewis. It needed careful measuring, and working out in what order to stitch together, but the sewing was easy. I couldn't find a long enough single zip to enable taking covers off for washing, so used two, meeting in the middle of one end.
I don't know what it would have cost to have them made to measure, but obviously a lot more. They turned out v well.
