Made-to-measure lounge cushions: the secret to comfortable lounging
A lounge set is only truly complete with the right cushions. Not just any soft thing to sit on, but cushions that turn your garden furniture into a comfortable, stylish spot where you want to spend hours relaxing. And only when cushions fit perfectly does the whole picture come together—both in comfort and appearance. In this blog, you’ll discover why made-to-measure lounge cushions make a difference, how to choose the right ones, and how best to care for them.
Why choose made-to-measure lounge cushions?
Standard cushions are often just not quite right. They’re too big, too small, or lack the comfort you’re after. Made-to-measure lounge cushions, on the other hand, fit your furniture perfectly and provide exactly the support you need to truly unwind.
At Mypilloo you can customise your own made-to-measure lounge cushions—from size to fabric and colour. This way, your garden feels truly your own. Conveniently, you can choose a complete set of lounge cushions or individual garden cushions to mix and match. With bespoke cushions, the options are endless!
When should you replace your lounge cushions?
Sometimes it’s obvious: the fabric is faded or torn. But there are less visible signs that it’s time for new cushions on your lounge set:
- The filling has flattened and offers little support.
- You sink unevenly or feel the hard base beneath.
- The covers absorb moisture quickly or feel clammy.
- Your lounge set simply no longer suits your style.
Replacing your cushions in time will make your garden set look as good as new again—and you’ll be able to enjoy it fully.
How to choose the perfect cushions for your lounge set?
Choosing lounge cushions seems easy, but there’s more to consider than you might think. Here are some handy tips:
Start with accurate measurements
Measure the seat and back sections of your lounge sofa carefully. Consider cushion thickness and ensure everything fits well. With made-to-measure cushions, you can order down to the centimetre—and it really shows in the finished product! If your cushions might fit too tightly, order them 0.5 cm shorter so they don’t get stuck.
Colours that suit your garden
Do you want calm with soft natural tones, or a statement with a bold colour? Let your choice match your garden’s style and accessories. Also think about practical features like dirt- or water-repellent fabrics and a filling that can handle a bit of rain.
Choosing the right fabric
Do you use your cushions intensively or leave them outside often? Then choose strong, easy-care fabrics. Do you have a covered area or store them away daily? Then you can opt for a softer, more luxurious fabric. Not sure which fabric is right? Read more here about the properties of all our fabrics.
How to care for your lounge cushions
With proper care, you can significantly extend the life of your made-to-measure lounge cushions, keeping them looking good and feeling comfortable:
- Store your cushions indoors when it rains or overnight to prevent moisture and mould.
- Use a well-ventilated cushion box or storage bag.
- Clean the covers regularly following the washing instructions.
- Always let cushions dry thoroughly before storing.
- Turn cushions occasionally to ensure even wear.
With a little attention, your comfort stays optimal, and you can enjoy your stylish garden set season after season.
