Producing quality custom cushions is what Cushion Source is all about, but in order to give you exactly what you want, there is some work involved on your end. Custom-shaped cushions that are different from the standard shapes we provide online are considered unique shapes and therefore require a template.

\nMany customers call in on a daily basis asking about how to create a custom template. We have written information and made a video<\/a> on our Cushion Source website which steps you through the process. I thought I would make a storyboard of the steps involved to help further your understanding of what we require.<\/p>\n

What is a template? Templates are defined as a shaped piece of cloth or paper cut to the shape of cushion you need.<\/p>\n

\u00a0How to make a custom cushion template<\/strong><\/p>\n

Step # 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lay the paper or cloth on top of the area you want the cushion to sit. Trace the area where you want the cushion to go.<\/p>\n

Place paper or cloth on the area you would like the cushion to sit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step # 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

After you have traced the area, you\u2019ll need scissors to cut out the template.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Cut our your template after it has been properly traced.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Step # 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now you will check to see if the template fits your space. Simply lay it on the area to make sure it looks correct.<\/p>\n

Step # 4<\/strong><\/p>\n

In order to make your custom cushion templates, we need all the following information to be written on the template. This is a vital part of giving you the best quality product you deserve.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Don’t forget to add this info on your template.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

1. Write your name <\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Invoice Number<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Tell us where you would like the ties or breaks to be<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Type of fabric chosen<\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Tell us where you want your hidden zipper<\/strong><\/p>\n

6. Let us know what type of edging you would like (single cording, double cording or no cording)<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. Let us also know the thickness of your cushions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

**NOTE<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you want a cushion for the seat and back seat of your chair, remember to subtract the thickness of your bottom seat cushion from the height of your back cushion.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For example: If your bottom seat cushion is 3 inches, you’ll need to take off 3 inches from the back seat cushion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Subtract thickness of bottom seat cushion from height of back cushion.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
