Custom Chair Cushions – Square, Trapezoid or Round
Lekoni® manufactures custom chair cushions for chairs and stools whose seating surface does not fit a standard size. Whether square, rectangular, trapezoid or round – every chair cushion is individually made to your measurements in Germany. You choose the shape, size, fabric, color, cushion height and, if desired, fastening ties to match your chair.
Custom-made chair cushions are ideal for dining chairs, kitchen chairs, bistro chairs, bar stools, swivel chairs, designer chairs, rattan chairs, wicker chairs and special models. All chair cushions are produced with a removable cover and zipper. Depending on the fabric, the cover is washable or can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

When do you need a custom chair cushion?
A custom chair cushion is the right choice when a standard cushion does not fit the seating surface exactly. Standard sizes such as 30×30 cm, 35×35 cm, 40×40 cm or round chair cushions with a diameter of 30 cm, 35 cm and 40 cm are practical for many chairs. For different dimensions, special shapes or higher comfort requirements, a custom-made cushion makes more sense.
- Your seating surface tapers: Many dining chairs, wooden chairs and designer chairs are wider at the front than at the back. A custom trapezoid chair cushion is suitable for this.
- Your seating surface is rectangular: Bistro chairs, folding chairs, older wooden chairs or modern chair models often have a longer or deeper seating surface.
- Your seating surface is round: Bar stools, swivel chairs, bistro stools, piano stools or dressing table stools often require an individual diameter.
- Your chair is larger or smaller than standard: Special dimensions ensure that the cushion lies neatly on the seat and does not look too small or protrude noticeably.
- You want more comfort: With custom chair cushions, you can choose a cushion height of 4 cm, 6 cm or 8 cm.
- You need special materials: For restaurants, medical practices, care facilities, hotels or outdoor areas, robust fabrics, faux leather and Premium Faux Leather B1/B2 are available depending on the configurator.
This page focuses on custom-made cushions for chairs and stools. For benches, we recommend bench cushions; for lounge and pallet furniture, lounge cushions. If you only need a new cover for an existing cushion, you will find suitable replacement covers.
Standard size or custom-made?
If your chair has a classic seating surface, a standard-size chair cushion is often sufficient. These are especially useful if you are looking for a common size quickly or want to equip many identical chairs.
- Standard sizes: 30×30 cm, 35×35 cm, 40×40 cm and round 30 cm, 35 cm and 40 cm diameter
- Custom-made: freely selectable dimensions, special shapes, trapezoid seating surfaces, individual diameters and higher cushion thicknesses
Choose a custom-made cushion if the standard cushion does not fit exactly, the seating surface is trapezoid, you need a specific shape or you want a cushion height of 6 cm or 8 cm. This gives you a chair cushion that visually and functionally suits the chair – without compromising on size, shape or comfort.

Four shapes for your custom chair cushion
Custom-made chair cushions from Lekoni® are available in four basic shapes. Which shape is right depends directly on the seating surface of your chair or stool.
- Custom square chair cushions: for classic chairs with a seating surface of equal width and depth.
- Custom rectangular chair cushions: for chairs with an elongated seating surface, bistro chairs, folding chairs, wooden chairs and special chair models.
- Custom trapezoid chair cushions: for chairs with a tapered seating surface, meaning wider at the front than at the back. For this, you enter the depth, front width and rear width.
- Custom round chair cushions: for stools, bar stools, swivel chairs, bistro stools, piano stools and round seating surfaces. For this, you enter the desired diameter.
Square and trapezoid chair cushions are configured in the custom square chair cushion configurator. Round chair cushions are configured in the separate custom round chair cushion configurator.
Custom trapezoid chair cushions for tapered seating surfaces
Many chairs are not exactly square or rectangular. Dining chairs, wooden chairs, designer chairs and bistro chairs in particular often have a seating surface that is wider at the front than at the back. A normal cushion then protrudes, slips more easily or looks visually unsuitable.
For such chairs, Lekoni® manufactures custom trapezoid chair cushions. You measure the depth, the front width and the rear width. A perfectly fitting cushion is made from these dimensions and follows the shape of your seating surface. This creates a clean look, better hold and pleasant seating comfort.

Custom round chair cushions for stools, bar stools and swivel chairs
Custom round chair cushions are the right choice for chairs and stools with a round seating surface. These include bar stools, bistro stools, swivel chairs, piano stools, dressing table stools, round wooden stools and round designer chairs.
Lekoni® manufactures round chair cushions with an individual diameter up to a maximum of 100 cm. The cushion heights 4 cm, 6 cm and 8 cm are freely selectable. This means you can also get a suitable cushion for round seating surfaces if the standard sizes 30 cm, 35 cm or 40 cm are not sufficient.
- Bar stools and bistro stools: often with round seating surfaces between 30 and 40 cm
- Swivel chairs and work chairs: often with a different special diameter
- Piano stools and dressing table stools: usually compact round seating surfaces
- Round designer chairs: individual diameters and higher cushion thicknesses possible

Custom chair cushions with bow ties
For rattan chairs, wicker chairs and chairs with a backrest, Lekoni® also offers custom chair cushions with bow ties. This version has longer and wider bow ties at the rear corners. The ties are tied decoratively into a bow behind the backrest.
Important: Chair cushions with bow ties are made exclusively from Panama fabric. They are available in square or trapezoid versions and in heights of 4 cm or 6 cm.
Configure chair cushions with bow ties
Cushion height 4 cm, 6 cm or 8 cm
For custom chair cushions, you can choose between a cushion height of 4 cm, 6 cm or 8 cm depending on the product type. Lekoni® uses high-quality foam with density 35 and compression hardness 5.0. The foam is dimensionally stable, durable and comfortable to sit on.
- 4 cm: classic height for dining chairs, kitchen chairs, stools and regular use in living areas.
- 6 cm: more padding for longer sitting periods, hard seating surfaces, restaurants, waiting areas and frequently used chairs.
- 8 cm: particularly high seating comfort for very hard seating surfaces, larger chairs or especially comfortable seats.
If a standard chair cushion is too flat for you or you want a particularly comfortable solution, a custom-made cushion with a 6 cm or 8 cm cushion height is the right choice.
Fastening: ties, bow ties or anti-slip protection
With custom chair cushions, you can use different fastening options depending on the version. Square, trapezoid and round custom cushions can optionally be ordered with ties. The ties are positioned at the rear corners on the zipper side so that they can be fastened to the bars of the backrest.
- Custom chair cushions: optionally with ties at the rear corners on the zipper side
- Chair cushions with bow ties: longer and wider bow ties at the rear corners for tying behind the backrest
- Anti-slip protection: available separately as an accessory and can be cut to size as an underlay
If you do not want ties or if the seating surface is particularly smooth, a separately available anti-slip mat can be placed underneath the cushion.
Fabric comparison for custom chair cushions
For custom-made chair cushions, Lekoni® offers different fabric collections depending on the version: Panama, Mali, Faux Leather, Premium Faux Leather B2 and Premium Faux Leather B1. Square, trapezoid and round custom chair cushions can be configured in several fabrics and colors. Chair cushions with bow ties are made exclusively from Panama fabric.
For dining rooms, kitchens, living areas and decorative chair cushions, Panama is a homely and easy-care choice. Mali is suitable for more heavily used seating areas, restaurants, hotels and covered outdoor areas. Faux leather can be wiped clean with a damp cloth, making it especially practical for kitchens, medical practices, restaurants, daycare centers, schools and areas with frequent cleaning.
For regular outdoor use and particularly demanding commercial areas, we recommend Premium Faux Leather B2 or Premium Faux Leather B1. Both versions are highly weather-resistant, water-repellent and significantly more robust than classic home fabrics. Nevertheless, even robust chair cushions should not be permanently exposed to rain, snow, standing moisture or all weather conditions.
| Fabric | Properties | Care | Recommended use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Panama | High-quality colored woven fabric, OEKO-TEX Standard 100, 20,000 Martindale, lightfastness rating 5, pilling rating 4–5 | Washable at 30 °C | Dining room, kitchen, living area, children’s room, chair cushions with bow ties, rattan and wicker chairs, protected outdoor areas in good weather |
| Mali | 100% polyester, 100,000 Martindale, breathable, REACH-compliant, tested for harmful substances, lightfastness rating 5, flame resistance according to BS 5852 Part I and EN 1021-1 | Washable at 30 °C | Heavily used custom-made cushions, restaurants, hotels, living areas, waiting areas, covered terraces |
| Faux Leather | PU/PVC/polyester, 100,000 abrasion cycles, lightfastness rating 5, rubbing fastness dry/wet rating 4 | Wipe clean with a damp cloth | Kitchen, bathroom, restaurants, hotel, medical practice, daycare, school, easy-care seating areas, protected outdoor areas |
| Premium Faux Leather B2 | Robust premium faux leather, normally flammable according to DIN 4102-1 / building material class B2, highly weather-resistant and water-repellent | Wipe clean with a damp cloth | Restaurants, restaurant areas, hotel, terrace, sauna, swimming pool, medical practice, outdoor chairs, heavily used seating areas |
| Premium Faux Leather B1 | Robust premium faux leather, flame-retardant according to DIN 4102 B1, Martindale > 150,000, lightfastness ≥ 6, tested for stain resistance against blood and urine | Wipe clean with a damp cloth | Care homes, clinics, public facilities, medical practices, contract furnishing and areas with B1 requirements |
Premium Faux Leather B2 is the right choice if custom chair cushions need to be particularly robust, easy to care for, water-repellent and suitable for regular outdoor use. It works well for restaurants, hotels, terraces, saunas, swimming pools, medical practices and heavily used seating areas.
Premium Faux Leather B1 is the specialist solution for areas with increased fire protection requirements. The material is flame-retardant according to DIN 4102 B1 and is particularly suitable for care homes, clinics, public facilities, medical practices and contract interiors where B1 is required.
Configure custom chair cushions – how it works
At Lekoni®, you select the appropriate configurator depending on the shape. Square, rectangular and trapezoid chair cushions are configured in the configurator for custom square chair cushions. Round chair cushions have their own configurator. For rattan chairs and wicker chairs, chair cushions with bow ties are also available.
- Square, rectangular or trapezoid: configure custom chair cushions
- Round: configure custom round chair cushions
- With bow ties: configure custom chair cushions with bow ties
The most important configuration options:
- Shape: square, rectangular, trapezoid or round
- Material: Panama, Mali, Faux Leather, Premium Faux Leather B2 or Premium Faux Leather B1 – depending on the version
- Color: current color selection for each fabric collection directly in the configurator
- Dimensions: width and depth for square and rectangular cushions, front and rear width for trapezoid cushions, diameter for round cushions
- Maximum size: square and rectangular chair cushions up to 260 × 100 cm, round chair cushions up to 100 cm diameter

- Cover: always with zipper, removable and washable or wipe-clean depending on the fabric
The price is calculated automatically in the respective configurator. This allows you to see directly how much your individual custom chair cushion costs.
How to measure chair cushions correctly
To ensure that your custom chair cushion can be made to fit precisely, always measure directly on the chair and not on an old cushion. Old cushions may be warped, compressed or have become smaller.
- Square chair cushions: Measure the width and depth of the seating surface. Both dimensions are the same.
- Rectangular chair cushions: Measure width and depth separately.
- Trapezoid chair cushions: Measure the depth, the front width and the rear width. This creates the right trapezoid shape for tapered seating surfaces.
- Round chair cushions: Measure the diameter of the seating surface at several points and use the appropriate dimension for your seating surface.
If the cushion should not protrude, a small deduction may be useful depending on the chair shape. You will find an illustrated guide in the Lekoni® measuring instructions. If you are unsure, you can reach Lekoni® via the contact form or by email at info@lekoni.de.
Custom chair cushions for home, restaurants and outdoor use
Custom-made chair cushions are used wherever standard sizes do not fit optimally or special seating comfort is desired. They are suitable for private chairs as well as for commercial and public areas.
- Dining room, kitchen and living area: for dining chairs, kitchen chairs, wooden chairs, designer chairs and stools with special dimensions.
- Restaurants and hotels: for restaurants, cafés, bistros, bars, hotels, holiday apartments and breakfast areas with individual seating.
- Medical practices, care facilities and public facilities: for waiting areas, care facilities, clinics, medical practices and contract interiors with higher requirements for care, hygiene or fire protection.
- Daycare, school, club and community: for children’s chairs, stools, circle time seating, group rooms, community halls and function rooms.
- Terrace, garden and protected outdoor areas: for garden chairs, bistro chairs, terrace chairs and outdoor areas in restaurants or hotels.
For regular outdoor use, we recommend Premium Faux Leather B1 or B2. Both materials are highly weather-resistant, water-repellent and significantly more robust than classic home fabrics. Panama, Mali and standard faux leather can also be used outdoors, but should only be used in protected outdoor areas or in good weather.
Even robust outdoor chair cushions should not be permanently exposed to rain, snow, standing moisture or all weather conditions. Since the covers are removable and made with a zipper, complete waterproofness cannot be guaranteed for construction-related reasons. In heavy rain, overnight or during longer periods of non-use, we recommend protected storage.

Frequently asked questions about custom chair cushions
Selection, shapes and area of use
When do I need a custom chair cushion?
A custom chair cushion is useful when no standard size fits exactly. This applies, for example, to particularly wide, narrow, deep, round or trapezoid seating surfaces. A custom-made cushion is also often the better choice if you want a cushion height of 6 cm or 8 cm.
Which shapes are possible for custom chair cushions?
Lekoni® manufactures custom chair cushions in four basic shapes: square, rectangular, trapezoid and round. In addition, custom chair cushions with bow ties are available for rattan chairs, wicker chairs and chairs with a backrest.
What is a trapezoid chair cushion?
A trapezoid chair cushion is wider at the front than at the back. It fits chairs with a tapered seating surface, as often found on dining chairs, kitchen chairs, wooden chairs or designer chairs. In the configurator, you enter the depth, front width and rear width.
Are round chair cushions also available made to measure?
Yes, Lekoni® manufactures custom round chair cushions with an individual diameter up to a maximum of 100 cm. They are suitable for bar stools, bistro stools, swivel chairs, piano stools, dressing table stools and other round seating surfaces.
What is the difference between custom chair cushions and standard sizes?
Standard sizes such as 30×30 cm, 35×35 cm, 40×40 cm and round 30 cm, 35 cm and 40 cm are practical if they fit the seating surface. Custom chair cushions are individually manufactured and are the right choice for special dimensions, trapezoid shapes, different diameters or higher cushion thicknesses.
Dimensions, cushion height and fastening
How do I measure a custom chair cushion correctly?
Always measure directly on the chair and not on an old cushion. For square and rectangular cushions, measure width and depth. For trapezoid cushions, also measure the front and rear width. For round cushions, measure the diameter of the seating surface.
What is the maximum size possible?
Custom square and rectangular chair cushions are possible up to a maximum of 260 × 100 cm. Lekoni® manufactures custom round chair cushions up to a diameter of 100 cm. Chair cushions with bow ties are available as square or trapezoid versions.
Which cushion height should I choose?
Custom chair cushions are available in heights of 4 cm, 6 cm or 8 cm. 4 cm is the classic choice for dining rooms and kitchens. 6 cm offers more comfort for longer sitting periods. 8 cm is suitable for very hard seating surfaces or particularly high seating comfort. Chair cushions with bow ties are available in 4 cm or 6 cm.
Which foam is used?
Lekoni® uses the same high-quality foam with density 35 and compression hardness 5.0 for all chair cushions. This gives you dimensionally stable, durable and comfortable padding.
Can I order custom chair cushions with ties?
Yes, ties can be selected optionally for custom chair cushions. The ties are attached to the rear corners on the zipper side so that they can be fastened to the bars of the backrest.
What is the difference between ties and bow ties?
Ties are narrow fastening straps at the rear corners. Chair cushions with bow ties have longer and wider ties at the rear corners, which are tied decoratively into a bow behind the backrest. This version is especially suitable for rattan chairs and wicker chairs.
What helps if the chair cushion slips?
On smooth seating surfaces, a separately available anti-slip mat can be placed underneath the cushion. Alternatively, custom chair cushions can optionally be ordered with ties. Chair cushions with bow ties are tied behind the backrest.
Material, care and outdoor use
Which fabric is right for my custom chair cushion?
For dining rooms, kitchens and living areas, Panama is a homely and easy-care choice. Mali is suitable for more heavily used seating areas, restaurants, hotels and covered outdoor areas. Faux leather can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and is practical for kitchens, medical practices, restaurants, daycare centers, schools and areas with frequent cleaning. For regular outdoor use and particularly demanding commercial areas, we recommend Premium Faux Leather B2 or Premium Faux Leather B1.
Are the covers removable?
Yes, all Lekoni® custom chair cushions are made with a removable cover and zipper. The cover can be removed from the foam core and washed or wiped clean with a damp cloth depending on the material.
Are custom chair cushions washable?
Panama and Mali covers are washable at 30 °C. Faux Leather, Premium Faux Leather B2 and Premium Faux Leather B1 are wiped clean with a damp cloth. Further information can be found in the care and washing instructions.
Are custom chair cushions suitable for outdoor use?
For regular outdoor use, we recommend Premium Faux Leather B1 or B2. Both materials are highly weather-resistant, water-repellent and significantly more robust than classic home fabrics. Panama, Mali and standard faux leather can also be used outdoors, but should only be used in protected outdoor areas or in good weather.
Are outdoor chair cushions waterproof?
No, complete waterproofness cannot be guaranteed for construction-related reasons. The covers are removable and made with a zipper. Even robust outdoor chair cushions should be stored in a protected place during heavy rain, snow, standing moisture, overnight or longer periods of non-use.
