To measure your custom window seat cushion, record the finished dimensions of your seating area in millimetres (mm):

• Length (A): Measure the full left-to-right width of the seat.
  
• Depth (B): Measure from the front edge to the back wall.
  
• Height (C): Choose your preferred finished cushion thickness.
  

For bay windows or angled seats, measure each section separately. If unsure, we offer guidance and in-home measuring support.

The ideal thickness for a window seat or bench cushion depends on comfort and use:

• 40–50mm: Decorative or occasional seating
  
• 75mm: Comfortable everyday use
  
• 100mm+: Deep seating or high-traffic areas

For built-in window seats used daily, we typically recommend 75–100mm for long-lasting comfort and support.

For most custom window seat and bench cushions, we recommend firm foam for supportive, structured seating that maintains its shape over time. This is ideal for built-in seating and areas used daily.

If you prefer a softer, more relaxed feel, Ergofill offers gentle comfort with a slightly cushioned finish. It’s best suited to lighter-use spaces or where a softer sit is preferred.

If you're unsure which cushion fill is right for your space, we’re happy to provide guidance based on how your bench seat will be used.

Yes. We encourage ordering fabric samples before confirming your custom window seat or bench cushion to ensure the colour, texture and scale suit your space.

We offer 5 complimentary fabric samples so you can view them in your home and natural light before making a final decision. Simply select your favourites and we’ll send them directly to you.

Sampling first helps ensure your custom cushion feels considered and perfectly suited to your interior.

This product is designed primarily for indoor window seats and built-in bench seating. However, if your seating area is outdoors or exposed to the elements, we recommend exploring our Outdoor Squabs & Custom Outdoor Cushions range.

We offer a curated selection of UV-resistant outdoor fabrics specifically designed for exterior use, providing durability, fade resistance and easy maintenance.

Custom window seat cushions are made precisely to fit your space, ensuring a seamless, tailored look. Unlike ready-made cushions, made-to-measure bench cushions provide better comfort, durability and design flexibility - including your choice of fabric, thickness and detailing.

We make custom bench seat cushions for a wide range of settings, including:

• Dining benches and kitchen booth seating
• Hallway and entryway benches
• Bay window and window seat ledges
• Built-in joinery and breakfast nook seating
• Storage ottomans and timber bench frames

All bench seat cushions are made to your exact measurements in our Auckland workshop. If your bench is an unusual shape — L-shaped, angled, or with notch cuts — contact us and we'll provide a custom quote.
