The moment i realized that we had the space for a window bench in our sunroom i immediately envisioned a french tufted mattress as a cushion for the spot the breezy upholstery is revered for its versatility and ability to play to a variety of decorative styles and spaces.
How to make a french mattress bench cushion.
I finally got around to making my own and now i have the tutorial for you as well for this project i made a new cushion for a bench trunk that lives by our front door you can see the space here with the original cushion.
When you cut out the fabric pieces be extra generous.
Continue doing this around the top and bottom of the mattress cushion.
The things i learned and the things i m glad i bought.
It was in the plan back when we completed our french style bench out of a pair of broken chairs because that was inspired by a ballard designs bench that is no longer available with a similar cushion.
I m so excited to finally be able to share this tufted french mattress cushion i made because it s been 2 years in the making.
Try your best to line up the top and bottom stitches because that s what gives the cushion its mattress look.
The french mattress cushion is finished.
I wish i had done this more on mine.
First cut the upholstery foam to the desired size.
