Our DIY No Sew Bench Cushion (Simple + Inexpensive!)

Whereas my intention was at all times to have an upholstered seat cushion made for our eating bench, I didn’t wish to rush into it! It’s costly to have a customized cowl made so I wished to present myself a while to resolve what material to make use of. In the meantime, I discovered a a lot easier and extra inexpensive DIY no sew bench cushion answer that has labored out nice. As we speak I’m lastly sharing it with you!

Final 12 months, late one night, my daughter Courtney and I made our DIY no sew bench cushion with this foam and this software. I took a couple of images (regardless that it was darkish out!) so you may see what the froth and the software seems to be like.

The froth I used doesn’t have flame retardants in it, which is necessary particularly in case you plan to sleep in your foam cushion.

By the best way, I’ll listing extra sources from this room the top of the put up.

This knife made it straightforward to chop the froth.

All you need to do is order the froth measurement you want, use the software to chop it to suit (or use a noticed in case you have one that can work). Our bench is shallower than the froth so we first simply laid it out the place it wanted to go after which used a pen and ruler to determine the place to chop it.

It didn’t must be lower completely so long as it was pretty straight and match into the spot we now have for the cushion. We used two items to make it match all the best way throughout since our bench could be very lengthy.

Then you may toss a throw or no matter measurement blanket you want over it!

I’ve been telling you about these washable plaid blankets that I’ve just lately fallen in love with — I received two extra as a result of I noticed they might be probably the most good cozy fall “cowl” for my eating bench! They arrive in different fairly colours, too (see all of them right here).

This bench seat hack was truly my mother and father’ thought — I feel it was good! I appeared for a pre-made cushion, too, however the size we would have liked was too lengthy for many ready-made choices. The great thing about slicing your personal foam is you could make it no matter measurement you want!

My blankets haven’t been washed but however when they’re the creases will come out. I couldn’t wait to attempt them right here! I used two throws.

I simply tucked a few of the edges within the again and sides. Our eating bench has a ledge / lip on it to maintain the cushion from falling off so we may tuck the blanket in on the entrance too, however I feel it’s simpler to only go away the throw hanging over the sting. We’ve drawers so so long as we don’t let it grasp down too far it straightforward to open drawers.

You possibly can change up the search for a brand new season with any quilt or blanket (make sure to get a slim one in case your bench is shallower like mine). I normally use these patterned reversible washable blankets!

I like the load, colours and sample of those wool blankets! So cozy!

You all know I’m normally not too enthusiastic about or expert with DIY’s, however belief me. This one was straightforward sufficient for even somebody like me. I used to be motivated to complete the bench in our eating room so we may truly use it (isn’t that the purpose of what we do at residence?) however the financial savings and fast repair of this feature made it price making an attempt earlier than investing in a customized seat. I’m so glad we did.

One other advantage of this concept is with washable blankets you aren’t frightened about individuals (or little grande babes!) truly sitting on the bench to eat. In the event that they spill, no downside! You possibly can simply toss the blanket within the wash.

Even when I do ultimately get my customized cushion, I’ll doubtless wish to cowl it with a blanket anyway so I noticed I would as nicely begin with one thing like this! Actually I’m not a excessive finish fancy pants gal who should have good every part, so something informal and sensible however nonetheless charming like this makes it really feel like our residence.

We’ve one other bench in our front room which we use for seating (and altering infants LOL) each time our household comes over. This one already had a customized cushion and canopy on it, however I nonetheless use throws to present it completely different seems to be. Proper now this cushion is “wrapped” with this skinny reversible blanket and the plaid is after all simply laying over high as an accent. I simply suppose it’s enjoyable to have the ability to change the look of it so simply and affordably.

Now that I’ve lived with our DIY eating bench cushion for nearly a 12 months now, I would wait a pair extra years on a customized bench seat!
