Vintage & Antique Metal Glider Cushions — Custom Replacement, Any Size

Vintage and antique metal gliders were built to last — the frames from the 1930s through the 1970s often outlive three or four sets of factory cushions. The problem is the cushions. Original replacements were discontinued decades ago, and these old porch gliders were made in each manufacturer's own proprietary dimensions, so nothing off the shelf fits.

USCUSHION cuts each cushion to the exact seat length, seat depth, and back height of your glider — Homecrest, Bunting, Arvin, Shott, or an unmarked frame that has been on the porch for fifty years. You choose the foam and the weatherproof fabric, so the restored glider looks right and holds up to the weather. No part number needed.

Why customers choose us:

• Fits proprietary vintage sizes: Old metal gliders never used standard dimensions. Enter your seat and back measurements and we cut to the frame you actually have.
• No original SKU required: Original cushions discontinued decades ago? We do not need them. Your measurements are all we need.
• Weatherproof by build: UV- and fade-resistant outdoor fabric over a foam core built for sun, rain, and humidity.
• Seat and back matched: Order both pieces together in the same fabric and dye lot for a finished, restored look.
• Removable zip covers: YKK zipper covers come off for cleaning at the end of the season.

Vintage & Metal Glider Cushion FAQs

Can you match cushions for a vintage Homecrest or Bunting glider?
Yes. Vintage metal gliders like Homecrest and Bunting used proprietary dimensions, so we do not work from a model number. Measure your seat and back and we cut a replacement set to fit your exact frame.

My original cushions are long gone — can you still help?
Yes. We do not need the original cushions or part number. As long as you can measure the seat and back on the frame, we can build a set that fits.

What thickness works for an old metal glider?
Most vintage metal glider seats take 2 to 3 inches of foam for firm, upright seating, or 4 inches for a plusher feel. Custom thickness is available so you can match the original look or upgrade the comfort.

Will the fabric hold up outdoors?
Yes. Choose UV- and fade-resistant, water-resistant outdoor fabric that stands up to sun, rain, and humidity on an open or covered porch.

A vintage metal glider is one of the hardest seats to buy cushions for. These American-made porch gliders from the 1930s through 1970s were built in each manufacturer's own dimensions, the original cushions were discontinued decades ago, and modern off-the-shelf sizes never fit. These custom cushions are cut to your exact glider frame, in weatherproof fabric over foam built for the outdoors.

Perfect for:

• Vintage and antique metal porch gliders where the original cushions are long gone or rotted away
• Named vintage frames — Homecrest, Bunting, Arvin, Shott — and unmarked mid-century metal gliders
• Restored aluminum and steel glider benches that need cushions cut to non-standard, proprietary sizes
• Two-seat metal glider benches that need a matched seat and back set
• Old gliders whose flat, thin original pads never offered real support
• Metal gliders on open porches and patios that need weatherproof fabric, not indoor upholstery

Order the seat cushion alone or pair it with a matching back cushion for a full restoration. Both pieces are cut to the measurements you enter — no original part number required.

Vintage metal gliders live outside through sun, rain, and humidity, so the fabric has to be built for the weather. Our outdoor fabric catalogue is made for exactly that, with options that stay colorfast, dry fast, and clean up easily.

All outdoor fabrics are:

• UV- and fade-resistant, so colors stay true through full seasons of direct sun
• Water-resistant and quick-drying, so cushions are ready to sit on again soon after rain
• Mold- and mildew-resistant, essential for cushions that spend nights and wet mornings outdoors
• Available in classic solids and retro-inspired patterns that suit a vintage glider's look
• Durable enough for the constant gliding motion without wearing at the seams

Solution-dyed acrylic and outdoor performance weaves are the top choices for a restored metal glider. Both hold up to movement, moisture, and long outdoor exposure far better than standard indoor fabric.
