Frequently Asked Questions

A tapered bolster back cushion features a wedge-like design that's wider at its base and gradually narrows toward the top. This specialized cushion transforms beds, daybeds, or studio couches into comfortable seating areas by providing ergonomic lumbar support. The angled profile creates an ideal reclining position, with the thicker bottom section offering stability while the sloped surface naturally supports your back's curve for enhanced comfort during extended sitting.

Tapered bolster back cushions provide ergonomic support with their wedge design, promoting proper spinal alignment and reducing back strain. They transform backless furniture into comfortable seating areas, making them ideal for reading, working, or relaxing. Their portable design allows easy repositioning, while the angled surface improves comfort for both sitting and resting positions.

When selecting the perfect tapered bolster cushion, focus on these essential dimensions:

  • Height: This determines how much elevation and back support you'll receive. Measure from your seating surface to where you want the support to reach on your back.

  • Top Thickness: The thinner edge that sits against your lower back. This should be substantial enough for comfort but not so thick that it pushes you forward uncomfortably.

  • Bottom Thickness: The wider base that sits on your seat or bed. This provides stability and determines the overall angle of support.

  • Length: Make sure it's wide enough to support your full back width. Consider whether you want it to span the entire seating area or just provide targeted support.

The key is finding the right balance between these measurements to create the perfect incline for your body and intended use. A steeper angle (greater difference between top and bottom thickness) provides more upright support, while a gentler slope offers relaxed lounging comfort.

Tapered bolster back cushions typically measure 2-3 inches at the top and 4-6 inches at the base. The most common design tapers from about 6 inches thick at the bottom to 2 inches at the top, creating ergonomic lumbar support. Custom cushions can be adjusted to match your specific furniture dimensions and comfort preferences.

Yes, when made with premium outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella® or Agora® and dryfast foam, these cushions are weather-resistant. They resist fading, mildew, and moisture damage, making them perfect for patios, decks, or any outdoor furniture while maintaining their comfort and appearance season after season.

Breakfast Bench Cushions

I ordered these cushions last week and was told it would be a 3-4 week wait. What a surprise when they came today, about 8-9 days after I ordered them. They look amazing and look very professionally stitched. Thank you Zip Cushions, I never knew it would be this easy to order these on line. Would definitely recommend!
