Custom-Made Bench Cushion 160x35 cm

A 160x35 cm bench cushion is suitable for long benches with a comparatively shallow seat depth. At Lekoni®, this size means 160 cm wide and 35 cm deep.

The width provides approximately 53 cm of space per person for three people. A depth of 35 cm is particularly common on narrow dining benches, solid wood benches, hallway benches and seating niches.

You choose the material, colour and a cushion thickness of 4, 6 or 8 cm. The rectangular bench cushion is then manufactured in Germany after your order is placed. The cover is removable and fitted with a zipper.

• Shape: rectangular
• Cushion thicknesses: 4, 6 or 8 cm
• Materials: six fabric and faux leather options

Which Benches Are Suitable for a 160x35 cm Cushion?

This size is suitable for a straight seating surface with approximately 160 cm of usable width and 35 cm of depth. Typical applications include:

• Narrow dining and kitchen bench: The width provides approximately three seating positions, while the shallow depth is suitable for narrow benches positioned at a dining table.
• Solid wood bench: Many straight wooden benches have a comparatively narrow seating surface. If the edges are irregular, check the depth at several points.
• Hallway and entrance bench: A depth of 35 cm is suitable for narrow benches that should not extend too far into the room.
• Waiting-room, church and club bench: Older benches or benches deliberately designed with a narrow seat can also have a seat depth of around 35 cm.
• Windowsill and seating niche: This size is suitable for long, narrow window seats and rectangular niches.
• Garden and patio bench: A 160x35 cm cushion can be used for narrow outdoor benches with a straight seating surface.

What Is the Difference Between 160x35 cm and 160x40 cm?

Both sizes have the same width. The difference is the depth: a 160x35 cm cushion is five centimetres shallower than a 160x40 cm version.

These five centimetres are important when the bench is narrow or when the cushion should not extend beyond the front edge. A cushion that is too deep can also change the seating position and, on a dining bench, negatively affect the distance to the table.

Therefore, measure the usable seating surface and do not order solely on the basis of the stated model name of the bench.

How Many People Can Sit on a Width of 160 cm?

With three seating positions, each person has a calculated width of approximately 53 cm. This can be suitable for a dining, kitchen or garden bench.

With four very compactly divided seating positions, each person would have 40 cm. Whether this is sufficient depends on the design of the bench, the users and the desired seating distance.

Which Cushion Thickness Is Suitable for a Narrow Dining Bench?

• 4 cm: compact cushioning that raises the seat height only moderately
• 6 cm: additional cushioning for hard wooden surfaces or a bench that was originally lower
• 8 cm: substantial cushioning that noticeably changes the seat height and the distance to the tabletop

Before ordering, measure the existing seat height and the distance between the bench and the tabletop. A thicker cushion can be comfortable, but at the same time reduces the available space for legs and knees.

We use foam with a density of 35 and compression hardness of 5.0.

How to Measure a 160x35 cm Bench Cushion Correctly

Measure the width from left to right and the depth from the front edge to the desired rear edge of the cushion.

Pay particular attention to checking the depth at several points. On solid wood benches, live edges, older furniture and masonry seating niches, the seating surface can be irregular. If in doubt, specify dimensions that ensure the cushion does not extend beyond the seating surface at any point.

The ordered dimensions are the intended finished dimensions of the cushion. Due to the manufacturing process, deviations of up to approximately ±1 cm may occur. An illustrated explanation can be found in the Lekoni® measuring instructions.

160x35 cm Bench Cushion: Prices by Material

The following table shows the prices for a 160x35 cm bench cushion with a cushion thickness of 4 cm. Surcharges for 6 or 8 cm are displayed in the configurator after selection.

Which material is suitable depends mainly on the intended use and the preferred cleaning method. Panama has a textile, washable surface, while faux leather can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Mali is suitable for more heavily used indoor areas. Textura Plus and Premium Faux Leather B2 are also intended for regular outdoor use. Premium Faux Leather B1 is flame-retardant according to DIN 4102 B1.

All available materials and colours can be found in the Lekoni® cushion configurator. Further technical properties and material differences can be found under Upholstery Fabrics and Faux Leather Compared.

How to Keep a 160x35 cm Bench Cushion from Slipping

Narrow solid wood and dining benches often have no backrest or support bars for fastening. In this case, ties cannot be attached effectively.

On smooth, lacquered or oiled surfaces, a suitably cut anti-slip mat can instead be placed underneath the cushion. If the bench has a suitable backrest or support bars, optional ties can be selected.

160x35 cm Bench Cushion for Outdoor Use

For a sheltered garden or patio bench, different materials may be suitable depending on the desired surface. Textura Plus and Premium Faux Leather B2 are particularly suitable for regular outdoor use.

Due to the seams and zipper, the complete cushion is not fully waterproof and should be stored in a dry place during prolonged rain and longer periods of non-use.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 160x35 cm Bench Cushion

What does the size 160x35 cm mean?

The first number indicates the width and the second number the depth. The cushion is manufactured 160 cm wide and 35 cm deep.

How much does a 160x35 cm bench cushion cost?

With a cushion thickness of 4 cm, the cushion costs from 78,40 € in Panama. Depending on the material, the price is up to 140,00 € in Premium Faux Leather B1. A surcharge for 6 or 8 cm is displayed in the configurator.

Is a 160 cm wide bench suitable for three people?

With three seating positions, each person has a calculated width of approximately 53 cm. Whether this is comfortable depends on the design of the bench and the desired seating distance.

Which cushion thickness is suitable for a dining bench?

A compact cushion thickness of 4 cm is often chosen. However, the existing seat height and the distance to the tabletop are decisive. A thicker cushion raises the seating position accordingly.

Why should I measure the depth at several points?

Solid wood benches, live edges and older seating surfaces can be irregular. Taking several measurements helps prevent the cushion from extending beyond the front edge at any point.

Is the cover removable?

Yes. The cover has a zipper and can be removed from the foam core. Whether the cover can be washed or should be wiped clean with a damp cloth depends on the selected material.

What should I do if my bench has different dimensions?

In the Lekoni® cushion configurator, you can enter the width and depth individually. The seating area does not need to measure exactly 160x35 cm.

Can only the cover be replaced later?

Yes. If the foam core is still usable, a suitable replacement cover can be ordered.
