In the video, we will demonstrate how to pattern your cushion foam based on measurements from your chair, so no matter what style of Adirondack chair you have, you’ll have a perfectly fitted cushion. For the foam, we used sheets of Fairfield’s Poly-Fil Nu-Foam, which is compressed polyester batting. This foam is a great choice for this project because it’s easy to work with, inexpensive, and mildew resistant. If you prefer more traditional foam, polyurethane foam is also a great choice (CushionRite® Standard or Premium).
Our cushion design features tiebacks on the seat and backrest portion of the cushion so you can tie it to the chair to keep it from sliding around or blowing away. We used pieces of Sunbrella’s Soft Braid Acrylic Binding to create the tiebacks, but you could easily sew ties out of your scrap fabric instead for a perfect match to the cushion.
Watch this video to see how to pattern your fabric, sew the plates, attach ties, and insert the foam for your hinged Adirondack chair cushion.
