Choosing the Right Thickness: When selecting indoor bench cushions, the proper thickness is key to ensuring comfort and support. Start by considering the height of your existing or desired bench. For instance, if your bench is low, opt for a thicker cushion, around one inch, to provide adequate padding and elevation.
When it comes to cushion shapes, the square reigns supreme. Timeless and versatile, it effortlessly enhances any space. Opt for common sizes like 12×12” or 16×16” to ensure a perfect fit for your furniture.
Enhance Stability with a Rubber Mat: Improve the stability of your bench cushions by using a rubber mat underneath. You can easily find non-slip lining or pads in nearby markets or supermarkets. Simply place the rubber pad under the cushions for added grip and stability.
We make custom cushions and covers for settings of all kinds — Benches, Caravans, Windows Seats, Sofas and many more!
Size Recommendations: When it comes to inserting cushions into covers, size matters. Ensure a snug fit by using inserts that are slightly larger than the cushion covers. For square cushion covers, opt for inserts that are 5-6cm or 2 inches bigger, while for rectangular or lumber cushions, choose inserts that are 3-5cm or 1-2 inches larger than the cover.
Popular Sizes: Bench pillows come in various sizes to suit different needs and preferences. Common dimensions include 12×12”, 16×16”, 18×18”, 22×22”, and 24×24”, providing versatility and options to match your bench size and style.
Typical chairs and benches clock in at around 18″ in height (give or take). But if you're eyeing a cushioned upgrade, here's a pro tip: opt for a slightly shorter build, ranging from 14″ to 16″. This strategic adjustment leaves ample space for a comfy cushion without nudging the height into discomfort territory for most folks.
Enhance Comfort with Bench Cushions: Elevate the comfort and style of your bench seat by adding well-made cushions. Not only do they provide essential padding, but they also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your space.
Optimal Backrest Design: For maximum comfort, opt for bench seatbacks that slope back slightly with a gentle curve. A backrest height of around 20 inches ensures proper support for the back and shoulders. Alternatively, benches without backs offer versatile seating options.
Improving Bench Press Technique: If you're experiencing discomfort or instability during bench presses, it may be due to improper technique. Ensure you retract your scapula and maintain a tight position throughout the movement for improved stability and effectiveness.
Easy Upgrades for Your Sofa: Transform the comfort and appeal of your sofa with simple upgrades. Pile on throw pillows for extra support, refresh foam cushions for enhanced comfort, ensure the sofa's legs are even, add a stylish slipcover, incorporate an ottoman for versatility, and toss on a throw blanket for added coziness. These easy enhancements can elevate your sofa experience effortlessly.
Securing Your Bench Cushion: To secure your cushion firmly in place, turn it over and position it on top of your bench. Drive screws from underneath the bench, up into the plywood of the cushion, ensuring a secure attachment. For a polished finish, use a hot glue gun to affix the upholstery trim to the bottom edge of the cushion, concealing any gaps between the cushion and bench for a seamless look.
Most other companies import their products from outside of the UK, which is the reason they cannot make custom sizes and only offer a few colour options.Most are imported from China and are poorly made. Our cushions are manufactured right herein the UK, with much higher quality filling and materials.We stand by our products as being the best on the market.
