Design & Measuring
What is a chaise lounge cushion?
A chaise lounge cushion is a long, body-length cushion (typically 72-80 inches) designed specifically for chaise lounge chairs. Unlike deep seat cushions used for stationary chairs, chaise cushions often have flexible or hinged sections to accommodate reclining positions, providing support from head to toe.
Why choose custom over standard?
Standard cushions come in limited sizes and often don't fit properly. Custom cushions are ideal if:
- Your chaise has unique dimensions or curves.
- You want specific thickness or firmness.
- Standard cushions leave gaps or hang over the edge.
- You want fabrics to match your exact outdoor décor.
How do I measure my chaise lounge?
Measure with the chaise fully extended flat:
- Length: Measure from the top of the backrest to the end of the footrest.
- Width: Measure the widest part of the seating surface.
- Back Height: Measure the specific backrest portion.
- Adjustable sections: Note hinge points for reclining chaises.
Tip: We recommend our detailed measuring guide, especially for loungers with adjustable backs.
One-piece vs. Multi-piece cushions?
- One-piece: Seamless design, hinged for adjustability, easy to store.
- Two-piece: Separate back and seat cushions.
- Three-piece: Head, back, and seat sections for maximum flexibility.
The best choice depends on your specific chaise design and storage preferences.
Can you make cushions for curved or wave loungers?
Yes! We specialize in unique shapes. Whether you have a curved wave lounger, a tapered design, an asymmetrical shape, or a circular daybed, we can create a custom cushion to fit perfectly. Just provide detailed measurements or templates.
What fabric is best for chaise cushions?
We recommend outdoor performance fabrics like Sunbrella or Solution-dyed acrylics. They are UV-resistant (fade-proof), water-repellent, and easy to clean. Textured weaves can also help prevent sliding.
Can you add a pillow or headrest?
Yes! We can incorporate attached pillows, removable headrest cushions with Velcro/ties, or build a raised headrest area directly into the cushion design for extra comfort.
Care, Fit & Ordering
Are chaise lounge cushions waterproof?
They are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. They feature water-repellent fabrics and quick-dry foam. However, we recommend covering or storing them during heavy rain to extend their lifespan.
Will the cushion work with adjustable loungers?
Absolutely. We design cushions with hinges or flexible sections specifically for adjustable chaises. This ensures the cushion bends smoothly at the adjustment points without bunching or lifting.
How do I keep the cushion from sliding?
We offer several solutions: ties that secure to the frame, Velcro attachments, non-slip backing material, or textured fabrics that provide natural grip.
How do I clean and store them?
Cleaning: Most have removable covers. Machine wash gentle or spot clean with mild soap and water.
Storage: Store indoors or in a dry deck box during winter. Daily, stand them on edge to drain if wet. Avoid storing damp cushions to prevent mildew.
How long will a custom cushion last?
With proper care, quality custom chaise cushions typically last 5-7+ years. Using covers and storing them out of harsh winter weather can extend this to 7-10+ years.
How much do custom chaise cushions cost?
Pricing typically ranges from $150 - $400+, depending on size, thickness, and fabric choice. This is an excellent value compared to replacing the entire chaise lounge, and provides a much higher level of comfort and style.
What is the production timeline?
Standard Timeline: 2-3 weeks for production + 5-7 days shipping (Total 3-4 weeks). Rush service (1-2 week production) is available for an additional fee.
