FAQs
How long is my quote valid for?
We can hold the price of your custom cushion quote for 30 days, giving you time to consider your options and make the right decision for your project—whether that's bespoke window seat cushions, made to measure bench cushions, or replacement sofa cushions.
After 30 days, pricing is subject to current market rates and supplier costs, which may change based on fabric and foam availability.
This applies to all our products, including custom foam cushions cut to size and upholstery services.
How long is the dispatch time usually?
Our dispatch time for custom cushions varies depending on demand, order complexity, and seasonal fluctuations:
Standard lead times:
- Simple box cushions: Approximately 3 weeks
(Includes standard bench cushions, window seat cushions, seat cushion pads) - Shaped or complex cushions: Approximately 4 weeks
(Includes curved window seat cushions, custom shaped cushions, banquette seating, L-shaped designs)
Lead times depend on the complexity of your made to measure cushion order, including factors like custom sizes, intricate shapes, and fabric requirements. Please note that dispatch times can vary with seasonal demand—we tend to be busier during spring and summer months when customers are refreshing their window seat cushions, garden room seating, and indoor furniture.

How long do cushions typically last?
Cushion lifespan varies based on foam quality, usage, and care:
Factors affecting foam life:
REDUCES lifespan:
- ❌ Daily heavy use in same spot
- ❌ Multiple heavy users
- ❌ Poor quality foam (not ours!)
- ❌ Moisture exposure
- ❌ Direct heat/sunlight
- ❌ Very thin foam (less than 2 inches)
- ❌ No wadding protection
EXTENDS lifespan:
- ✅ Rotating and flipping cushions regularly
- ✅ Quality foam (firm or reflex)
- ✅ Polyester wadding added
- ✅ Adequate thickness (3-6 inches)
- ✅ Proper care and maintenance
- ✅ Stockinette wrapping (included free)
- ✅ Varied use (not always same spot)
Fabric/cover lifespan:
Generally:
- 5-10 years depending on fabric quality and use
- Outdoor fabrics: 3-7 years (UV exposure)
- Wipe-clean fabrics: 5-8 years (very durable)
- Delicate fabrics: 3-5 years
Covers often outlast foam if:
- Zippered for easy cleaning
- Regular maintenance
- Quality upholstery fabric chosen
- Protected from sun damage
By cushion type:
Window seat cushions:
- 7-10 years (moderate use)
- Longer if used seasonally
Bench seat cushions:
- 5-8 years (daily dining use)

Do:✅ Rotate cushions monthly
