NOT A STANDARD CUSHION,
BUT YOUR CUSHION

A good cushion does not begin with a standard size, but with the furniture, the preferred sitting position and the way it will be used.

In our own sewing workshop, we make seat cushions, back cushions, lounge cushions, decorative pillows, soft back cushions and cushion covers entirely to measure. You choose the dimensions, shape, fabric, colour, filling and finish.

Have you built your own bench, lounge sofa, corner bench or window seat? We can make cushions to fit your design. We also produce new cushions or covers for existing garden furniture, indoor benches, hospitality settings, verandas, motorhomes and boats.

  • Fully made to measure in our own sewing workshop

Materials that make the difference

COMFORT STARTS
WITH THE RIGHT CONSTRUCTION

The right seating comfort starts with choosing the correct foam. The fabric and finish then determine the appearance, practical properties and lifespan of the cushion.

We advise not only on colour, but also on foam quality, firmness, thickness, fabric properties, zips, thread, hook-and-loop tape and other practical details.

Foam for custom cushions

Foam

From polyether to HR cold foam, every foam type has different properties. Density mainly indicates the amount of material, quality and expected durability. The actual firmness and indentation resistance are expressed by the CLD or ILD value. The right combination depends on thickness, sitting position, load and the support required. In our showroom, you can test different qualities and firmness levels.

Indoor and outdoor fabrics for custom cushions

Fabrics

We work with indoor and outdoor fabrics from Sunbrella, Sunproof and several other quality brands. This allows us to find the right combination of appearance, performance, colour and budget for gardens, verandas, living spaces, hospitality and larger projects.

Zips, thread and hook-and-loop tape for cushions

Zips, thread and hook-and-loop tape

A good finish makes all the difference. This includes strong zips, matching thread, hook-and-loop tape, piping, seams and fixings tailored to the use and design.

“A good cushion is not only attractive; it supports exactly where needed and remains comfortable in everyday use.”

Beyond the standard collection

UNUSUAL SHAPES,
ENTIRELY MADE TO MEASURE

Not every cushion is rectangular. We also make round cushions, poufs, angled and organic shapes, window-seat cushions and cushions for alcoves, boats, motorhomes and unusual furniture.

Have you built your own bench, lounge sofa or another piece of furniture? Provide accurate measurements, a template or an existing cover. We will advise on the correct construction and make cushions to fit your design.

From a single cushion to a complete scheme for a home, terrace, hospitality venue or project, your design does not need to fit within a standard collection.

A SINGLE CUSHION OR
A COMPLETE CUSHION SCHEME

Sometimes one replacement cushion is enough. In other situations, an entire seating area needs to be fitted out again.

We can coordinate seat cushions, back cushions, decorative pillows and soft loose cushions in colour, shape and comfort. This applies to private interiors, gardens, verandas, hospitality settings and larger projects.

If existing cushions are no longer comfortable or the fabric no longer suits your interior, we can make new covers or create an entirely new cushion construction.

Which outdoor fabric suits you?

SUNBRELLA
VERSUS SUNPROOF

Sunbrella and Sunproof are two popular high-quality outdoor fabrics, but they differ in appearance, collection, price level and application. Comparing them side by side makes it easier to decide which fabric best suits your cushions and intended use. We also work with other fabric brands when these are a better match for your wishes or project.

Sunbrella and Sunproof are shown side by side because they are two important collections within our range. Depending on availability and your requirements, we can also supply and work with fabrics from other brands.

Premium and refined

Sunbrella is often chosen when a luxurious appearance, extensive colour choice and high-quality finish are the priorities.

  • Extensive collection of colours and textures
  • Refined and luxurious appearance
  • Suitable for intensive indoor and outdoor use
  • Wide choice for complete custom projects
  • Also available by the metre
VS

Strong and affordable

Sunproof is an excellent choice when you are looking for a colourfast outdoor fabric with an attractive price-to-quality ratio.

  • Good price-to-quality ratio
  • Colourfast solution-dyed olefin yarns
  • Many plain colours, patterns and textures
  • Practical for garden and lounge cushions
  • Also available by the metre

Which fabric do we recommend?

For a particularly luxurious result and a very extensive collection, we often recommend Sunbrella. If you are looking for a strong outdoor fabric at a more accessible price level, Sunproof offers many suitable options. This comparison is not a limitation: other fabric brands are also available. In our showroom, you can see, feel and compare different brands, qualities and textures.

VISIT OUR
SHOWROOM IN NEEDE

Fabric, colour and seating comfort are best experienced in person. In our showroom, you can view and feel different fabrics and test several foam types and firmness levels.

Bring measurements, photographs, an existing cover or a sketch. This enables us to advise specifically on shape, thickness, filling and fabric. For detailed custom advice, we recommend booking an appointment in advance.

Custom cushion guide

CUSTOM CUSHIONS MADE TO MEASURE
FOR OUTDOOR LIVING, LOUNGE FURNITURE AND INTERIORS

Custom cushions are the right choice when standard sizes do not fit the furniture, the sitting position or the look you want to achieve. A cushion is more than a piece of foam with a fabric cover: dimensions, thickness, firmness, back support, fabric and finishing all influence the final comfort. In our own sewing workshop, we make made-to-measure cushions for indoor and outdoor furniture, from one replacement seat cushion to a complete lounge arrangement.

We make custom seat cushions , custom back cushions , lounge cushions, bench cushions, soft back cushions, decorative cushions, sunbed cushions, window-seat cushions and replacement cushion covers. The same made-to-measure approach can be used for a garden bench, corner sofa, self-built lounge set, dining bench, veranda, motorhome, boat, hotel terrace or hospitality project.

For garden furniture, custom outdoor cushions are especially useful when existing furniture has unusual dimensions or when the original cushions are no longer available. Even a small difference in depth or thickness can change the way a sofa sits. We therefore look not only at length and width, but also at seat depth, seat height, back angle and the space available for the back cushions.

A deep lounge sofa requires a different cushion construction from a dining bench. Custom lounge cushions should allow you to sit comfortably without taking away too much usable seat depth. On very deep furniture, the relationship between seat cushion and back cushion becomes particularly important. We advise on cushion thickness and back support before the foam is cut.

A good custom seat cushion starts with the correct foam. We work with different qualities of polyether and HR cold foam, available in several densities, thicknesses and firmness levels. Foam density mainly indicates the amount of material and expected durability; it does not tell the complete story about firmness. The correct choice depends on thickness, load, intended use and the seating feel you prefer.

HR cold foam is often selected for seating that is used frequently. Cold foam cushions made to measure generally offer good resilience and are available in different comfort levels. Polyether can be a practical alternative for other applications or budgets. Because numbers alone do not tell you how a cushion will feel, testing different foam types can make the choice much easier.

In our showroom you can test several foam qualities and firmness levels before ordering your made-to-measure seat cushions . This is particularly valuable when ordering a complete lounge set, because personal comfort is difficult to judge from a specification sheet. Some people prefer a firmer, more supportive seat while others want a softer and more relaxed lounge feel.

Custom back cushions need a different construction from seat cushions. A structured foam back cushion gives more defined support, while a loose-filled back cushion feels softer and more relaxed. For lounge furniture we can combine firm seat cushions with generous soft back cushions, creating a balance between support and a comfortable informal appearance.

Soft back cushions made to measure are popular for garden benches, lounge sofas and deep corner seating. Their loose filling adapts easily to the body, but the finished dimensions still need careful consideration. If a back cushion is too large it may reduce seat depth too much; if it is too small it may not give enough support or may look out of proportion to the furniture.

Fabric is just as important as foam. For outdoor cushions made to measure , we work with recognised outdoor fabric collections including Sunbrella and Sunproof, as well as other quality brands. The best fabric depends on where the cushions will be used, the desired appearance, colour, texture, maintenance requirements and budget.

Custom Sunbrella cushions are often chosen when a premium appearance, extensive colour range and strong outdoor performance are priorities. Sunbrella is available in many textures, from refined plain weaves to more pronounced structures. This makes it suitable for modern lounge furniture, classic garden seating, hospitality projects and indoor applications where durable upholstery fabric is preferred.

Custom Sunproof cushions are another strong option for outdoor seating. Sunproof offers a wide range of outdoor fabrics in different colours and structures and can provide an attractive balance between performance, appearance and price. We do not assume that one brand is always better: the right choice depends on the specific project and what matters most to you.

Fabric samples are useful before making a final decision. For custom garden cushions , a colour can look very different outdoors from the way it appears on a monitor. A physical sample also allows you to feel the weave and compare several fabrics next to the wood, metal or other materials used in your furniture.

When the existing foam is still in good condition, we can make custom cushion covers without replacing the complete cushion. Accurate measurements are particularly important in this situation. Used foam can compress and change shape over time, so for complicated cushions it may be better to provide an existing cover rather than relying only on measurements taken from a worn cushion.

Replacement cushion covers made to measure can be finished with zips, matching thread, hook-and-loop fastening, piping and other details. We select these finishing elements according to the use of the cushion. A heavily used outdoor lounge cushion requires a different practical approach from a decorative indoor cushion that is moved only occasionally.

If you have built your own sofa or garden bench, custom bench cushions provide the freedom to create exactly the seating comfort you intended. We recommend measuring the furniture itself rather than copying the dimensions of an old cushion. Photographs and a simple sketch help us understand the construction and determine the most logical division of the cushions.

We also make custom corner bench cushions for L-shaped and U-shaped seating. The inner corner requires particular attention because the seat cushions and back cushions need to meet neatly without creating unnecessary gaps or too much overlap. Depending on the furniture, the seats can be divided into separate sections or designed as longer cushions.

A dining bench needs a more upright sitting position than a deep lounge sofa. Custom bench seat cushions for dining areas are therefore usually designed with a different thickness and firmness. The cushion should improve comfort without raising the seated position so much that the relationship between bench and table becomes uncomfortable.

Custom window-seat cushions can turn a deep windowsill or built-in niche into a comfortable seating area. We take account of depth, unusual angles, rounded corners, windows and nearby radiators. A clean single cushion can create a minimal look, while additional back and decorative cushions can make the space softer and more inviting.

We also make custom sunbed cushions for different types of loungers. The position of hinges, adjustable backrests and attachment points must be considered so the cushion can move naturally with the furniture. Thickness and foam choice are also important because a sunbed is used differently from an upright garden chair or lounge sofa.

For dining and garden chairs, custom chair cushions can be made to match the shape of the seat and backrest. Some chairs have rounded seats, narrow backs or specific fixing points, so a standard rectangular cushion may never sit correctly. Made-to-measure chair cushions allow the dimensions, shape and fastening method to follow the actual chair.

Decorative cushions complete the overall composition. Custom decorative cushions can be made in the same fabric as the main seating or used to introduce contrast through colour, texture or pattern. For a large lounge arrangement, these smaller cushions can help connect the furniture to the colours used elsewhere on the terrace or in the interior.

The best results come from looking at all cushions as one complete seating concept. A set of custom lounge cushions should have consistent seat heights, sensible divisions and matching comfort throughout the furniture. We therefore consider not only each individual cushion but also how seat, back and decorative cushions work together.

Bespoke work is also useful when existing cushions have become uncomfortable. Sometimes new custom cushion covers are all that is needed, while in other situations the foam has lost too much resilience and should be replaced as well. We can advise which parts of an existing cushion set are still suitable for reuse and where a complete renewal gives the better result.

Accurate measuring is essential when ordering cushions made to measure . We prefer the dimensions of the furniture itself, because old foam and covers can stretch, shrink or deform over years of use. For angled or organic shapes, a template may be useful. The more reliable the starting information, the better the finished cushions can follow the furniture.

Our own sewing workshop gives us direct control over the entire production process. Your custom cushions are cut, sewn and finished by our own team rather than selected from a fixed range of factory sizes. This allows us to work with unusual dimensions, one-off pieces, small sets and complete seating projects with the same attention to detail.

We also produce bespoke cushions for hospitality , holiday properties, hotels and larger outdoor projects. In these situations we look at intensive use, ease of maintenance, fabric performance, replacement possibilities and a consistent appearance across multiple seating areas. A commercial project may require different choices from a cushion set for a private garden.

Outdoor cushion care depends on the selected fabric, foam and how the cushions are stored. Even high-quality custom outdoor cushions benefit from being stored dry during long periods of non-use. Removable covers can make maintenance easier, while correct storage helps protect both fabric and foam and can extend the useful life of the complete cushion set.

A showroom visit can be especially helpful for a larger project. In Neede you can compare Sunbrella, Sunproof and other fabrics, see colours in person and test different foam constructions. When investing in a complete set of made-to-measure lounge cushions , feeling the difference between foam options is often more useful than choosing purely from technical descriptions.

If visiting the showroom is not practical, many custom cushion projects can also be prepared remotely. Clear photographs, accurate furniture measurements, sketches, templates and in some cases an existing cover provide the information needed to discuss the project. We can then advise on foam, thickness, fabric and finishing before production begins.

We make and supply custom cushions for customers across Europe . Whether the project is nearby or further away, the same principle applies: dimensions and specifications need to be clear before the fabric is cut and the foam is shaped. For remote orders, good measuring and documentation are especially important for achieving the intended fit.

Whether you need one custom seat cushion , a set of custom back cushions , new replacement covers or a complete outdoor lounge arrangement, the aim is always the same. The cushions should fit the furniture, support the way you want to sit and suit the environment in which they will be used. By combining accurate dimensions, appropriate foam, carefully selected fabric and professional finishing, we create cushions that are genuinely made for your furniture rather than simply close to the right size.
