A chaise is a long problem wearing a simple name. The pad has to look right when the back is up for a book and when it is flat for a nap. Ready-made chaise cushions are cut for one of those positions, not both, and almost never for your frame’s exact length.
Length is the measurement people skip
Measure the furniture in the position you actually use most, then check the other. Seat plus back on a one-piece chaise is often 70–80 inches. A two-piece (separate seat and back) needs two widths and two depths. If the frame narrows at the foot, capture both widths.
Thickness: 3–4 inches looks tailored; 5–6 feels like furniture. Poolside, go with a draining fill. Indoor foam on a chaise by the water is a mildew project.
Fabric and sun
Chaises bake. They sit in the open by design. Solution-dyed acrylic is the fabric we put on them. A printed indoor leftover will chalk off the top of the back first — the part you see from the house.
Navy, oatmeal, and stripes hide sunscreen. A pale solid shows every drip. Order a swatch and leave it on the chaise for a week.
One piece or two
A hinged or one-piece pad looks clean on a simple frame. Two pieces are easier to flip and to store. If the chaise has an adjustable back, two pieces usually track the ratchet better. Say which layout you want in the designer — we sew both.
We build chaise cushions to your numbers in Griffin, not to a warehouse SKU. Open custom chaise cushions or jump straight to the designer and type the length you measured on the frame.
