Window Seat Cushion Pad

Window seat cushion and pad:

Window seats are the bonus of thick and thick-ish walls and splayed window recesses. Adding soft cushions makes these the most inviting, comfortable places to sit, read, watch the world go by. The special place between inside and outside made special. This particular wrap-over cover is the easiest kind of ‘boxed’ cushion to make, easily adaptable to shaped window seats, very forgiving of any potential beginners errors.  and can be zipped, studded or tied to  close. The simplicity is perfect for a clean lined, contemporary seat space. Yet it also has the right degree of informality for thick walls—for those traditional deeply recessed seats which invite time out, children and books.

Where to use:

This type of cover and pad also adapts to any freestanding bench or stool with wooden, stone or metal  tops. It works well as the  topper for traditional, formal sofas  and for Chesterfield  types. Choose the filling to suit the space, the use, and how you want to  feel it and see it perform.  We suggest feather- down or wool for a cushion pad which is squishy, deep and luxurious to sink into. For a cushion pad that presents a neat form, we wrap layers of coconut fibre, wool or mohair to the cushion pad depth required. These are both soft and solid enough to be comfortable. Instructions for making and measuring both are included.
