Rattan furniture and polyrattan sets often remain sturdy long after the original cushions have faded or sagged. A new off-the-shelf set often fails due to differing seat depths, slightly angled corners, or a corner module that doesn't fit the standard range. Custom replacement cushions for rattan furniture pick up exactly where your existing seating group leaves off.
Rattan armchair, sofa, lounge: first, sort the elements
Create a separate measurement note for every rattan armchair, every seat surface, and every back element. In a modular polyrattan lounge, identical seats may have different back widths; depths and contours often change at the corner piece. Wicker chairs and rattan chairs also fit this scheme if an independent seat or back cushion is required. Take a photo of the entire set and number the elements. This prevents confusion when configuring multiple replacement cushions online.
How to avoid common measurement errors
Measure the usable surface area on the furniture, not the outer edge of the weave. Check the width of the seat surface at the front and back, as well as the depth on both sides. If the surface narrows towards the back, a rectangle is usually the wrong shape. For a back cushion, the height of the visible backrest and the desired coverage also matter. Old cushions can serve as a guide if they are still dimensionally stable; heavily collapsed cushions can easily lead to measurements that are too small.
For clearly rectangular modules, a rectangular outdoor cushion is suitable. For angled, straight edges or cutouts, use a dimensioned sketch and check the appropriate shape solution. Not every curved wicker shell can be represented as a flat cushion. For a deep wicker armchair, you must first clarify whether a flat seat cushion is sufficient or if a specially shaped, three-dimensional insert is needed.
Weatherproof cushions for polyrattan in everyday use
A waterproof, UV-resistant cover is helpful for the garden lounge. With the UNIPOLSTR, the cover can be removed and washed. Because cushion gaps, undersides, and contact surfaces can also be exposed to moisture, the cushions should be stored in a dry place during longer periods of disuse. A suitable thickness depends on the existing furniture: seat cushions that are too thick can visually and functionally shorten the backrest.
If the existing seat and back cores are still comfortable, a new UNICOVR custom cushion cover is often sufficient. For tapered, straight-lined modules, there is also a trapezoidal cover. Select the cover based on the dimensions of the existing core, including its thickness.
Ordering replacement cushions for your rattan set
For seat and back modules, the custom outdoor cushion will lead you to the right UNIPOLSTR. For a single seat cushion, the custom seat cushion is also a sensible choice. A special corner piece with straight cutouts can be checked via the special shape option. If you are only looking for the foam without a new cover, use the custom foam cut.
