This is probably more than you ever wanted to know about pew cushions,
but when you are buying a cushion to last decades it pays to be informed. All Waggoners
pew cushions are made to the full length of the pew, with a standard 2 inches of foam to provide
years of comfortable seating. Foam thickness is based on your special needs; Waggoners can make cushions from 1" to 5" thick, as required by your situation. Standard features on all of our cushions include:
DuPont Teflon (or similar) stain protection
Reversibility for longer fabric life and wear, and non-skid pads so the cushions don't move
Hand-tufting with fabric-covered buttons to hold the fabric case in place for a sharp, neat appearance.
High-density polyurethane foam interiors
15-year limited warranty
Pew cushions must match the shape of the pew bench. A proper fit to the bench is essential. As shown here, there are three basic cushion shapes.

Straight |

Numerous cushion styles are available to allow you the maximum choice for your seating needs. The self-welt or box style is a classic look and is reversible. The contour style cushion offers a pleasant rounded edge for extra comfort and a pleasing contemporary look. In addition, Waggoners offer Wedge Shape Cushions (thicker at the rear, thinner at the front) and a rounded nose cushion with a weltless front. Non-reversible modular or board-based cushions are also available from Waggoners, and are well suited for some contemporary pews. All styles can come with a non-skid strip.
| Self-Welt (Box) Style - the classic look in tufted reversible church cushions |

Contour Style - a popular option with a custom rounded foam edge on opposite corners of the cushion. The cushion retains its reversibility yet presents a very contemporary look. |
| Modular Style - 3/8 inch plywood base, 2 inches of foam, with a welted fabric case, pressure-stapled at our plant. No buttons needed for this non-reversible style pad. |

Our
popular reversible pew cushions give you two sides of fabric for long-lasting wear and
come with an optional non-skid pad that lays underneath and inhibits cushion movement.
When the cushion is sat upon, the non-skid pad securely grips the pew cushion to the pew,
allowing you to reverse and move the cushions to pews of the same size. Reversible pew
cushions are available in the traditional self-welt box shape style, or our popular
contour style cushion with two rounded edges on the opposite corners.
We offer non-skid strips (the gray pad under the cushion in the picture to the right) with
our reversible cushions that go under the cushion on the pew. Everyone asks "Do the
cushions slip? Do the non-skid strips work?". The cushions don't slip and the
strips
work! The non-skid strips really do prevent the cushions from moving, which
is a great feature of our reversible cushions.
Waggoners can customize your cushions to meet any number of unique situations This would include:
Communion Rail cushions - We use a 90# kneeling foam and a slightly different tufting pattern for these cushions. Velvet is the most popular fabric choice, and a 2-1/2 ro 3-inch foam interior is the most common thickness.
Clergy, Piano, and patterned cushions - Extra attention and accurate measurements are a must for any special fitting cushions.
Rounded edge cushions - many older churches have pews with a rounded entry corner. This corner is generally best to follow when making cushions for such pews. Waggoners can take a pattern so your cushions look truly custom made!
Re-covering existing cushions - if your old cushions have the "feel" and weight you like the best, it is possible to re-use them inside your new cushions. We can do one cushion as a sample so that you can evaluate this option for older churches.
Totally customized cushions - We have honored requests to duplicate a particular look or thickness for various projects. The type and weight of foam, the thickness of the pad (from 1 to 4-inches), the "puffiness", and the number and spacing of buttons can all be varied to create the look and feel you want. After all, church cushions truly are "our specialty"!
Acoustically reflective cushions - Working in consultation with church designers and acoustical experts, Waggoners has pioneered the development of acoustically friendly pew cushions through using special fabrics and special foams.
Kneeler Pads - We can
recover or replace your existing kneeling pads for either wooden or aluminum
kneelers.
Hassocks - We produce either rectangular or oval hassocks with or without tabs. They are available in either our upholstery fabrics or high quality vinyls and naugahyde.
