Inexpensive Bench Cushion

Category: Garden Novice | Posted: Sat Apr 18, 2009 2:20 am

I needed a 5' cushion for my glider and didn't want to pay $30.00 or more for one. I had old memory foam I was saving and decided to use it for a cushion. I bought a vinyl tablecloth, cut the foam to fit then wrapped the tablecloth around the foam, just like wrapping a present, and then duct taped it in place. For $3.50 I have an easily made, nice, comfortable and weatherproof bench cushion for my glider.

Here's a photo. It's not fancy but it does the trick. (Don't look at the weeds!)

Smart idea! I might copy that once we get the outdoors areas ready this spring.

It was so easy and fast to do. I've had that foam forever and found the vinyl tablecloth at Big Lots. And Duct Tape is great to use.

I did something similar for our window seats in the living room. Why pay out loads of money when you can, with a litle imagination, have something thst's perfect for the job? I look forward to seeing your photograph.
