Ordering Custom Window Seat Cushion online - w/ Dacron Wrap?
Comments (1)You definitely want your indoor cushion wrapped. I have traditional, old furniture and everything is about 3 1/2 inches deep and works great with a quality cushion. I think you see the deeper cushions with more contemporary furniture (in no way am I an expert) or sometimes with cheaper foam to make up for lack of quality. I suppose it's just a personal choice. I have bought outdoor cushions online, custom fit to some wicker pieces and they turned out great. I usually use a local upholsterer though, I was just disappointed with my old upholster and hadn't found my new guy yet. The advantage of going local is you can evaluate the cushion quality before you commit. There is a big difference in foams. Some are cheap and don't last and others are so hard you can hardly sit on them. I'm attaching a link to a site that explains a little about foam density and helps to explain some of the numbers you see when picking them out. Here is a link that might be useful: cushion density and compression...See MoreWindow seat cushion arrived.
Comments (19)Mmmmm, makes me want to hang out there with the sun hitting the back of my head. Is it as comfortable as it looks? What did you specify for the foam?

Comments (28)I have the seat cushions from a couch that my mom got rid of a few years ago (yes, we've been at this remodel that long...) that I've been saving for a bench seat. We picked up some auto upholstery material at a garage sale to cover them with. It looks kind of like a plush microfiber fabric. When I think of how long the seats in a car last with relatively little care, it seems like this should be a durable solution. I've also made a quick non-sewing cover of a smaller cushion where I simply wrapped the foam like a birthday present and pinned everything together with large safety pins on the underside. The pins don't show from the top or sides. It looks upholstered, but the cover can be removed for cleaning. This might not hold up to high usage, though....See Morelizzie_grow
