We work with different high-resilience foams that are elastic, shape-retaining and available in several firmness levels and qualities. They are suitable for both firmer seat cushions and comfortable lounge cushions.

We also use polyether in different densities and firmness levels. This can be a good solution when a cushion needs to feel softer or when a simpler build-up is sufficient.

Many other combinations are possible. The right choice always depends on cushion thickness, desired seating height, seat depth and the way the furniture will be used.

An 8 cm cushion requires a different composition from a generous 12 or 15 cm lounge cushion. A straight bench, a deep lounge set or a garden chair also place different demands on the foam.

For back cushions, softer fillings are often more comfortable. Our loose back cushions can, for example, be filled with foam flakes so they adapt more easily to the body.

Comfort is created by the complete combination: foam, thickness, dimensions, backrest angle, available depth and even the selected fabric.

If you are unsure between different firmness levels, we recommend trying them. In our showroom in Neede, you can test different seating comforts before your custom cushions are made.

This prevents you from choosing purely on numbers: foam described as medium-firm or firm can feel very different depending on thickness and the overall cushion construction.

A custom garden bench gives you the freedom to create an outdoor dining area that fits your terrace rather than forcing your terrace to fit a standard set. At Dutchwoodcraft, we combine a made-to-measure garden bench with the seating that suits your space: individual garden chairs, matching wooden benches or a combination of both.

The garden bench is the central element. Length, width, height and shape are chosen around the number of people you want to seat, the available walking space and the proportions of your terrace. This allows us to make anything from a compact table for a small patio to a large dining table for family gatherings and long summer evenings.

For customers looking for a bench with a robust and lived-in appearance, a reclaimed wood garden bench is a popular choice. Reclaimed wood has visible character and variation, giving every piece of furniture its own authentic look.

The term wooden garden bench covers many different styles. A table in wood can look rustic, contemporary, industrial or refined depending on the timber, dimensions, edge detail and choice of base.

Douglas wood is particularly suitable when you want a warmer natural colour and a more substantial construction. A Douglas wood garden bench can be made with generous timber sections or solid beams, creating a powerful piece of outdoor furniture.

A garden bench in Douglas wood can consist entirely of wood, but it can also be combined with modern garden chairs. This contrast between solid timber and contemporary seating gives the terrace a clean, balanced appearance.

Our garden benches with Siesta garden chairs are especially versatile. Siesta offers many chair models and colours, making it possible to create a lighter and more contemporary setting around a wooden garden bench.

Comfort can be increased further with made-to-measure garden cushions. In our own sewing studio, we make cushions in outdoor fabrics from brands such as Sunbrella and Sunproof, so colour and comfort can be coordinated with the table and chairs.

Prefer a more solid, unified look? A garden bench creates a strong visual whole. The benches can be made from the same wood and finished in the same colour as the garden bench.

A combination of garden chairs and benches is also possible. For example, a long bench can be placed on one side of the table while separate chairs provide more flexibility on the other side and at the ends.

For a contemporary appearance, we can make a garden bench with a metal frame. The combination of wood and metal works particularly well in modern gardens and underneath sleek verandas or covered terraces.

A round garden bench is ideal when conversation and easy movement around the table are important. Round tables can also work surprisingly well on smaller terraces because there are no projecting corners.

For larger outdoor spaces, an extra-long garden bench can create a real centrepiece. We determine the construction and support points according to the length of the tabletop so that the proportions remain balanced.

The right table size depends on more than the number of seats. We also consider chair width, the space needed to move chairs backwards, legroom and circulation around the complete garden bench.

A garden bench for six people therefore requires a different layout from a bench for eight, ten or more guests. Because we work to measure, the dimensions can be matched to the actual use instead of a fixed catalogue size.

The finish has a major influence on the final appearance of a wooden garden bench. Depending on the timber and the desired look, different stains, oils and protective treatments are possible.

Natural timber continues to change outdoors. Douglas wood, for example, starts with a warm tone and gradually weathers under the influence of sunlight and rain. Many customers specifically appreciate this natural ageing process.

Reclaimed wood has a different character. Colour differences, grain and previous traces in the wood contribute to the robust appearance and ensure that no two garden benches look exactly the same.

Our garden benches are not limited to private gardens. We also create custom garden benches for hospitality venues, hotels and businesses, where dimensions, number of seats and intensive use may require a different construction.

Because production takes place in our own workshop, we can coordinate the construction, wood selection and dimensions within one project. This is particularly useful when a complete garden bench consists of several matching elements.

Our own sewing studio adds another layer of customisation. Seat cushions, back cushions and loose decorative cushions can be made specifically for the chosen benches or chairs, with attention to thickness, filling and outdoor fabric.

Would you like to see the difference between reclaimed wood and Douglas wood in person? In our showroom in Neede, you can compare materials, finishes, chairs, fabrics and examples of our craftsmanship.

Whether you are looking for a garden bench with chairs, a garden bench with benches, a round table, a bench with a metal frame or a large custom dining table, we start with the space and the way you want to use it.

The result is not simply a bench, but a garden bench made to measure: a coordinated outdoor dining area in wood, reclaimed wood or Douglas wood, designed for your terrace and made with attention to construction, comfort and appearance.
