The Foam

The secret to a perfect window seat isn't the fabric. It’s the foam.

Most store-bought cushions use standard polyfoam. Polyfoam goes flat fast. It loses its shape. It doesn't support you.

Stuff It Upholstery uses automotive-grade foam rubber.

Why automotive-grade?

  • Superior Density: It's built to last for decades, not months.
  • Supportive: It holds its shape even with heavy daily use.
  • Durability: It withstands pressure better than standard home-grade foam.
  • Comfort: It provides a firm yet comfortable seat that doesn't "bottom out."

Check out our premium foam rubber options to see the difference for yourself.

Measuring for Success

Want the perfect fit? You need the right numbers.

Feel free to send us your dimensions! You don't need to be an expert. You can send us:

  • Exact measurements*
  • A rough sketch*
  • Photos of the space*
  • A vague description*

We can work with all of it.

How to Measure Your Window Seat:

  1. Width: Measure the distance from the left wall to the right wall inside the nook.
  2. Depth: Measure from the back wall to the front edge of the bench.
  3. Thickness: Decide how high you want the cushion to be. Most people prefer 3 to 4 inches.
  4. Corners: Note if your corners are square or angled.

If your window is a bay window with angles, don't worry. Stuff It Upholstery excels at custom-cut foam fabrication. We cut to your exact specifications every time.

Pro Tips for Your Project

  • Overstuffing: We usually cut foam slightly larger than the cover. This makes the cushion look full and professional.
  • Dacron Wrap: Ask us about wrapping your foam in Dacron. It adds a soft "crown" to the top and prevents the fabric from wrinkling.
  • Fabric Choice: For window seats, choose a durable, sun-resistant fabric. Windows mean UV rays. UV rays fade cheap fabric.
