Are you curious about how we design your custom outdoor cushions to ensure the perfect fit for your furniture frames? How do measurements transform into beautifully crafted cushions in just a matter of weeks? At Northern Patio, we take pride in our meticulous process, ensuring every cushion meets the highest standards of quality and comfort. From initial consultation to final delivery, we handle every step with precision and care. Let us walk you through how we turn your vision into reality.

Step 1: Placing Your Order

Your custom cushion journey begins with our dedicated sales team, who are ready to assist you with any questions. They ensure your cushions will have the look and feel you desire. To achieve the perfect fit, we may request photos of your furniture frames or space and provide fabric samples to help you visualize your final product.

Once your order is placed, you’ll receive a detailed 3D rendering of your cushions. This digital blueprint outlines every measurement, fabric selection, and customization option. Production will only begin once you have given your final approval, ensuring you get exactly what you envisioned.

Step 2: Prepping the Fabric

Once your design is approved, your cushion details are digitally mapped and transferred to our CNC cutting machine for precise fabrication. Your chosen high-performance outdoor fabric (Sunbrella brand for its superior durability) is rolled out and expertly cut to specification. Our skilled production team carefully monitors the process, ensuring each fabric panel is accurately cut and placed into a designated bin, ready for the next stage.

Step 3: Expert Sewing & Construction

Your fabric panels are then handed to our expert seamstresses, who bring your cushions to life with meticulous craftsmanship. Using your 3D rendering as a guide, they ensure that:

• Ties are placed in the correct positions for a secure fit.
• Zippers are properly aligned for ease of use and durability.
• Seams are reinforced to withstand outdoor conditions.

Each sleeve is carefully sewn together to create the perfect custom fit for your cushion inserts. Once complete, the sleeves move on to the final assembly stage.

Step 4: Adding the Foam – The Heart of Your Cushion

Here’s where your cushions take full shape and comfort! We use medium-density foam wrapped in batting to provide a plush yet supportive seat. If your cushion requires a truly custom shape, our technical team will hand-cut the foam to ensure a precise fit.

Once the foam is inserted, additional features such as back buttons (if applicable) are added for a polished look. A final quality check is performed to ensure your cushions meet the exact measurements outlined in your 3D rendering. Each cushion is then bagged and labeled to keep your order organized.

Step 5: Packing & Shipping – Your Cushions Are On Their Way!

If you’ve selected shipping, your order moves to our logistics station, where it is carefully packaged for transit. We take extra precautions to ensure your cushions are well-protected against potential damage.

• Each cushion is securely wrapped to prevent ripping or moisture exposure during transit.
• Shipping labels are printed and assigned, and you’ll receive an email with your tracking number once your order is dispatched.
• Delivery times vary from 1 to 10 business days, depending on your location and the time of year.

For those who prefer to pick up their cushions, we’ll notify you as soon as your order is ready!

Why Order Early? Lead Times & Seasonal Demand

At Northern Patio, our production managers oversee each step to keep lead times minimal. However, the time of year can affect how quickly your order is completed:

• Winter & off-season orders: Lead times can be as short as two weeks.
• Spring & summer peak season: Due to high demand, lead times can extend to 4-5 weeks.

We always recommend ordering early to ensure you receive your cushions in time for the outdoor season!
