Which bench does a 160x40 cm bench cushion fit?

A bench cushion 160x40 cm fits particularly well on larger benches with a classic seat depth. This size is often used for garden benches, dining benches, kitchen benches, wooden benches, metal benches, terrace benches or seating areas in hospitality and waiting zones.

The 160 cm length comfortably offers space for several people next to each other. The 40 cm depth provides a full seating surface and is therefore more comfortable than narrower versions with 35 or 38 cm depth. If your bench has a classic seat depth, 160 × 40 cm is often the more suitable choice than a narrower cushion.

Bench cushion, bench pad, bench seat cushion or garden bench cushion 160x40 cm?

Whether you are looking for a bench cushion 160x40 cm, a bench pad 160x40 cm, a bench seat cushion 160x40 cm, a seat cushion 160x40 cm, a padded cushion 160x40 cm or a garden bench cushion 160x40 cm: this usually means a padded cushion for a bench with a width of 160 cm and a depth of 40 cm.

If your seating surface is slightly narrower, the bench cushion 160x35 cm or the bench cushion 160x38 cm may fit better. For even longer benches, the bench cushion 180x40 cm is a popular alternative. For other sizes, the cushion configurator is available.

Which cushion thickness is suitable for 160x40 cm?

For bench cushions in 160 × 40 cm, Lekoni® offers the cushion thicknesses 4 cm, 6 cm and 8 cm.

• 4 cm: the proven standard thickness for most bench cushions – ideal for garden benches, dining benches, kitchen benches, terraces, hospitality and daily use.
• 6 cm: noticeably more comfortable and more voluminous – useful for hard seating surfaces, longer sitting periods or heavily used seating areas.
• 8 cm: very thick padding for lounge areas, garden benches, deep seating surfaces or particularly comfortable seats.

Recommendation: For most benches in 160 × 40 cm, 4 cm is the suitable standard choice. If you want more comfort or want to make a hard bench noticeably softer, choose 6 cm. 8 cm is especially suitable when a deliberately very thick, lounge-style cushion is desired.

Materials for your bench cushion 160x40 cm

The bench cushion 160x40 cm is available from Lekoni® in various materials – suitable for living areas, garden benches, terraces, easy-care use or commercial applications.

• Panama: homely fabric for dining rooms, kitchens, living areas, children’s rooms and protected outdoor areas in dry weather.
• Mali: robust, breathable fabric for heavily used seating areas, living areas, hospitality, hotels and covered outdoor areas.
• Faux leather: easy-care standard option with a surface that can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, ideal for kitchens, dining areas, hospitality, waiting areas and uncomplicated everyday spaces.
• Premium Faux Leather B2: very robust choice for garden benches, terraces, outdoor hospitality, hotels, saunas, swimming pools, boats, medical practices and regular outdoor use.
• Premium Faux Leather B1: flame-retardant premium faux leather according to DIN 4102 B1 for care homes, clinics, medical practices, public facilities and areas with B1 requirements.

Note: Premium Faux Leather B1 is mainly useful when flame-retardant material according to DIN 4102 B1 is explicitly required. For most robust outdoor, hospitality and contract applications without B1 requirements, Premium Faux Leather B2 is the suitable choice.

Bench cushion 160x40 cm for garden bench, terrace and hospitality

The size 160 × 40 cm is particularly suitable for larger seating areas with classic depth. On a garden bench or terrace bench, the cushion provides a continuous, comfortable seating surface. In the dining room or kitchen, it makes longer benches more practical for everyday use. This format can also be a practical solution in hospitality, waiting areas or club rooms.

For protected outdoor areas, Panama, Mali or faux leather can be a suitable choice depending on use. For regular outdoor use, we particularly recommend Premium Faux Leather B2 or, where corresponding fire protection requirements apply, Premium Faux Leather B1. Both materials are water-repellent, easy to care for and significantly more resistant than classic interior fabrics.

Important: Due to its removable cover with zip, the finished bench cushion is not fully waterproof by construction. In heavy rain, snow, standing water or longer periods of non-use, the cushion should be stored in a protected place.

Bench cushion 160x40 cm with fixing

Optionally, you can order your bench cushion 160x40 cm with fixing ties. These are attached as standard to the rear corners on the zip side and help to secure the cushion on the bench.

Alternatively, a suitable anti-slip mat is available in the shop. It is placed underneath the cushion and can be cut to size if required.

Measuring correctly for a bench cushion 160x40 cm

Measure the seating surface of your bench directly on the piece of furniture and not on an old cushion. Check the width and depth in several places, especially with older wooden benches, metal benches or handmade benches.

If your seating surface is exactly 160 cm wide and 40 cm deep, the bench cushion 160x40 cm will usually fit very well. You will find illustrated instructions in the Lekoni® measuring guide.

Other sizes and custom bench cushions

If your seating surface is slightly narrower, the bench cushion 160x35 cm or the bench cushion 160x38 cm may fit better. For shorter benches, the bench cushion 140x40 cm or the bench cushion 150x40 cm are popular alternatives. For even longer seating surfaces, the bench cushion 180x40 cm or the bench cushion 200x40 cm may be interesting.

You will find an overview of material choice, cushion thicknesses and areas of use in the custom bench cushions category. If you need a different size, you can configure your bench cushion individually in the cushion configurator.
