For our floor cushion, we’re using indoor upholstery fabric from Crypton Home Fabrics. Crypton fabrics are known for their durability while remaining incredibly soft and luxurious. Designed with proprietary stain- and odor-resistant technology, Crypton fabrics can handle anything you throw at them. Kids, pets, spills — nothing is too messy for Crypton. We like Crypton because it’s a dependable, worry-free fabric that can keep up with an active lifestyle. And with hundreds of fabrics on the Sailrite® website in a range of colors, textures and designs, there’s a Crypton fabric for you!

We've made it fun and easy for you to DIY your own oversized floor cushion. A free downloadable pattern includes all the necessary measurements and cutting information. You can find that downloadable PDF below. Once you have all your supplies on hand, you'll have a brand-new, custom-made giant floor cushion in just a couple of hours.

The finished size of our oversized floor cushion is 30 inches by 30 inches with a height of 6 inches. The five upholstery buttons installed on each side of the cushion help to condense the foam and create a very full, cushioned seat. Plus, the tufted look of the buttons add to the cushion's high-end look and classic style. No one will believe you made it yourself!
