Custom Glider Cushions

Custom Glider Cushions for Every Glider Style

Gliders are one of the hardest seats to buy replacement cushions for. The back-and-forth gliding motion wears seams faster than a stationary chair, frames come in dozens of odd sizes, and original replacement sets are usually discontinued within a few years — especially on the classic vintage and antique metal gliders that have outlasted three sets of factory cushions. A custom glider cushion cut to your actual frame solves the fit and the durability problem at once.

This collection covers every glider seat: vintage and antique metal porch gliders, aluminum and steel glider benches, 2-seat and 2-person glider loveseats, outdoor glider swings, and glider rockers. Each piece is cut to the seat length, seat depth, and back height you provide, so a 1950s metal glider and a modern patio glider loveseat both get an exact fit — no hunting for a SKU that no longer exists.

• Glider & Patio Glider Pads — thinner glider pads for metal and slat gliders that need a lighter seat layer instead of a full-depth cushion.
• Custom Glider & Swing Cushions — a full-depth seat cushion with foam and cover, cut to your exact glider length and depth, with tie options to keep the cushion anchored through the gliding motion.

Fabric Options for Outdoor Glider Cushions

Most gliders live outdoors through sun, rain, and humidity, so glider cushions take more weather abuse than almost any other seat. Solution-dyed acrylic and waterproof outdoor performance weaves are the two most practical choices: both resist UV fading, repel moisture, and shrug off mildew without coatings that wash out over a season. Every cover is UV and fade-resistant, water-resistant and quick-drying, and durable enough for the repeated sliding and rocking motion that glider seating puts on fabric and seams. All covers include a removable YKK zipper so the fabric can be swapped or machine-washed without replacing the foam.

Foam Thickness for Glider Cushions

For gliders used mainly for sitting and conversation, 2 to 3 inches of foam is comfortable. For gliders used for lounging or napping, 4 to 6 inches gives the support you need for longer sessions. Glider cushions do best with a medium-to-high-density foam that absorbs the repetitive gliding motion without compressing flat over a season — the thin, low-density pads that ship with most metal gliders are exactly why the originals go flat so fast. Reticulated open-cell foam is worth considering for uncovered gliders in humid climates, since its open structure drains water faster and resists mold better than standard polyurethane foam. Custom thickness is available on every product in this collection.

Glider Cushion FAQs

Can you make replacement cushions for a vintage or antique metal glider?
Yes. Vintage and antique metal gliders are one of our most common glider requests. Because every cushion is cut to the measurements you provide, we do not need the original part number or a discontinued SKU — measure your seat and back, and we cut a replacement set to fit the frame you already have.

What size cushions do I need for a 2-seat glider?
Most 2-seat and 2-person glider loveseat seats run 44 to 60 inches long, but sizes vary widely by frame. Measure your glider seat from edge to edge for length and depth, and measure the back separately if you want a matching back cushion. Every cushion is cut to the dimensions you provide, so any 2-seat glider gets an exact fit.

What foam holds up best to the gliding motion?
A medium-to-high-density foam core absorbs the repeated compression and movement of daily glider use without going flat. The thin, low-density foam that comes with most factory metal gliders compresses within a season, which is why the originals feel flat so fast. Custom density is available on every product page.

What fabric is best for an outdoor glider cushion?
Solution-dyed acrylic and waterproof outdoor performance weaves are the most practical — both resist UV fading, repel moisture, and handle mildew without coatings that wash out. For covered porches with limited direct sun, softer performance canvas is available in the same custom sizing.
