Style Options

Loose pew cushions come in two styles: Stabilized Comfort and Classic. All cushions can be customized to correctly fit pews of any shape or size, attached or loose.

The traditional and oldest style is the Classic Pew Cushion. They may be plain or include decorative welt cords and buttons. These cushions can be a beautiful traditional addition to your pews. Non-skid foam is essential to keep these loose reversible cushions in place.

Stabilized Comfort Cushions provide support and durable comfort. To create these cushions, the fabric is machine stretched to a consistent tension while being attached around the board and pad. All fabric types stay straight and resist wrinkles due to the uniform tension. The board is sized and contoured so the cushion will not slide. Stabilized Pew Cushions, unlike Classic Pew Cushions, can also be attached to the pews and hold there uniform, non-wrinkled appearance much longer. Attached Pew Upholstery is built onto each pew, ensuring an exact fit. These cushions are cost effective and the quickest option, particularly for radius or curved pews.

Additionally, attached church pew cushions can be installed on the seat only, seat and back, or the seat, back, and reverse side of the pews. Attaching upholstery to the pew can be used to hide much wear and tear. When choosing Attached Upholstery the church should be aware that the upholstery is hand stretched on site and could wrinkle over time. Repairing these cushions will require on-site work.
