A sun lounger cushion needs to do more than just be roughly the same length as the lounger. It should sit on the usable surface, move with the adjustable sections, and must neither hang over the edge nor be too short at the foot end. Particularly with wooden loungers, older sunbeds, and double loungers, a custom-made cushion is often the easiest path to a well-fitting solution.
Dividing the lounger into sections
First, measure the usable width of the lying surface, then the length of the back area, the seat area, and—if present—the leg section individually. Mark the position of the joints and check the lounger both flat and in a typical sitting position. For an adjustable backrest, a rigid, thick slab over the fold is often impractical; separate cushion parts can better accommodate the movement. Whether a continuous cushion fits structurally depends on the joint and the desired thickness.
For sun loungers, rolling loungers, and double loungers
With classic garden or sun loungers, the focus is on the length and width of the lying area. A rolling lounger often has a frame that takes up space on the sides. For a double lounger, continuous versus two individual cushions offer different solutions: two parts can be used and stored separately; a single wide cushion requires correspondingly precise measurements. Relax and rocking loungers often have more pronounced contours. For these, a sketch with all straight edges, angles, and cutouts is useful; complex curved seat shells should be checked separately before placing an order.
Custom dimensions, cushion thickness, and cover
Do not simply enter the outer dimensions of the lounger. Measure the surface on which the cushion is actually intended to rest, and take armrests, side rails, and adjustment mechanisms into account. The thickness should be comfortable without hindering your position on the lounger or its folding function. The removable UNIPOLSTR cover is waterproof, UV-resistant, and washable. During longer breaks, dry storage is still advisable.
If the foam of your lounger cushion is still usable and only the fabric is worn, you can order a UNICOVR custom cushion cover for rectangular sections. Measure the back, seat, and leg sections individually, including thickness.

For a custom-made garden lounger cushion with a cover, the custom outdoor cushion is the obvious product choice. For individual, flat sections, you can choose the custom cushion. If there is a significantly different contour, check the special-shaped cushion. Those who only want the core cut to size will find the custom foam without a cover.
