Buy a corner bench cushion set

Corner bench cushions made to measure in sets

Whether you call them cushions for corner bench seating, corner seat cushions, kitchen bench cushions or dining bench cushions in a country style: what you need are cushions that fit the sides of your corner bench exactly. If you want to buy a corner bench cushion set, choose it by the number of pieces. Every set is made to measure, and you enter the size of each cushion yourself.

What is inside the cushion

Foam, thermal fleece and box edge

At GERMES, corner bench cushions belong to our cushions for indoors. For seating comfort the filling matters most: the seat needs support, while the back may give a little. How a filling is built up is explained in the guide What is cushion filling.

Seat RG 40/50, back RG 20/30

We fill the seat cushions with firm RG 40/50 foam, which is designed for seats and bench cushions. The back cushions contain the softer RG 20/30 foam. A firm seat and a soft back is also what we recommend when you measure up.

Hard-wearing in everyday use

What makes a corner bench cushion hard-wearing is above all a core that keeps its shape. According to the data sheet, the seat foam has a compression set of no more than 5 % to EN ISO 1856, so it recovers after you sit on it. Both foam grades are tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, product class I.

Thermal fleece all round

Every foam core is wrapped in thermal fleece. This smooths the edges of the foam and gives a softer look under the cover.

4 or 6 cm thick for the corner bench

In each set you choose 4 or 6 cm thickness for the seat and the back. We make our foam in even thicknesses up to 20 cm. For thicker cushions, please contact us via the Service Center.

Box edge for a crisp edge

We sew the sets with a box edge, a strip of fabric sewn in between the top and the bottom that is as wide as the cushion is thick. This gives a square, stable look. The difference to the French seam is shown in the guide Cushion seam types.

Cover and care

Dralon cover, washable and removable

The cover is made of Dralon, a fabric of 100 % acrylic with 220 g/m². In the configurator you choose it in plain colours, stripes or check. You will find more fabrics for living spaces under indoor fabrics, and the colours are best judged at home as fabric samples.

Water and dirt repellent

The fabric has a water and dirt repellent finish. Spills bead up at first and can be dabbed off before they soak in. That helps at the dining table with children.

Check for a country style

Country-style corner bench cushions come in the checks in blue, grey, green, red and grey-red. There are also stripes and plain colours from white to black, to go with wood and kitchen fronts.

Remove and wash the cover

Every cover has a zip. Take it off and wash it at 30 °C on a gentle cycle, without fabric softener and at a low spin speed. Let it dry in the air, not in the tumble dryer. More under fabric care.

No bleach

Dralon is conventionally dyed. So do not use bleach or solvents, not even diluted. Brush or vacuum off light dirt, and treat stains with lukewarm water and neutral soap.

Just a new bench cover

If the foam is still good and only the corner bench cover is worn or out of date, we can also sew just new covers. Send us the measurements via the Service Center.

Step by step

Measure and fix your corner bench

Measure directly on the bench, not on old or worn cushions. The detailed measuring guide for bench cushions also applies to the corner bench, and all other guides are listed under measuring instructions.

Each side separately

For each side, measure the width and the seat depth of the area you want to cushion. Enter these measurements exactly as they are, without taking anything off.

Corner and back corner

For the corner cushion and the back corner piece we assume a right angle. If your corner is angled or rounded, send us a sketch, a photo or a paper template.

Tolerance plus/minus 1 cm

For cushions the tolerance is plus/minus 1 cm, measured from corner to corner. Thanks to the thermal fleece a new cushion looks slightly larger and settles over time. More under tolerances for made-to-measure products.

Ties to stop slipping

For the seat cushions you can choose ties in the configurator for a surcharge. If you would like a different fixing, such as hook-and-loop tape, add it to the note. Single bench cushions are also available with a French seam or tufted.

Made after you order

We only cut and sew each cushion after you have ordered it. As a made-to-measure item it is excluded from the right of withdrawal, so it is worth checking your measurements twice. To go with it, there are throw pillows and wall upholstery for the same corner.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Corner bench seat cushions are cushions that fit the seat of one side of the bench exactly. A wooden bench without cushions is hard and becomes uncomfortable when you sit for longer. With seat and back cushions you sit more comfortably at the dining table, and the corner bench feels more homely.

Back cushions pad the backrest of the corner bench. They are filled with the softer RG 20/30 foam. In the configurator you enter a height between 20 and 50 cm. Measure the area of the backrest that the cushion should cover.

Start with the shape of the bench: two sides without a corner piece, with a corner cushion or with back cushions as well. Then choose 4 or 6 cm thickness, the fabric and whether you would like ties. You enter the size of each piece yourself.

We sew the sets from Dralon, a fabric of 100 % acrylic with 220 g/m². It has a water and dirt repellent finish, and the cover can be washed at 30 °C. You choose between plain colours, stripes and checks.

In the kitchen a water-repellent cover is enough. Drinks bead up at first and can be dabbed off. The woven Dralon cover is not waterproof, so wipe up spilt liquid soon so that it does not soak into the foam.

The price depends on the number of pieces, the measurements, the thickness and the ties. The configurator on each set works it out straight away as soon as you have entered your measurements.

Measure each side separately: the width and seat depth of the area to be cushioned. For the corner cushion and back corner piece we need the measurements of the corner, and for back cushions the width and height of the backrest. The measuring guide for bench cushions shows it step by step.

No. Give us the exact measurements of the area you want to cushion. We sew to a tolerance of plus/minus 1 cm. Thanks to the thermal fleece, new cushions look slightly larger and may stand a little over the edge at first, and they settle over time.

In the set you choose 4 or 6 cm for the seat and the back. We make our foam in even thicknesses up to 20 cm, so please ask us if you would like thicker cushions for your corner bench.

Firm RG 40/50 foam in the seat and the softer RG 20/30 in the back. Both are polyether foams, tested to OEKO-TEX Standard 100, product class I, and wrapped in thermal fleece. RG 40/50 replaces the earlier RG 35/40 grade.

We sew the corner bench sets with a box edge: a strip of fabric as wide as the cushion is thick forms a crisp, square side. Single bench cushions are also available with a French seam, which looks flatter and softer, and in a tufted version.

Brush or vacuum off light dirt, and remove stains with lukewarm water and neutral soap. To wash the cover, take it off using the zip: 30 °C, gentle cycle, no fabric softener, dry in the air. Do not use bleach.

For the seat cushions you can choose ties in the configurator and tie them to the bench. If you would like a different fixing, for example hook-and-loop tape, write it in the note or send us an email.

At the latest when the foam has gone flat and no longer springs back. If the core is still good and only the cover is worn or out of date, we can sew just new covers for you. If you want to re-upholster your corner bench without touching the wood, simply put new made-to-measure cushions on it.
