French mattress tutorial box cushion.
How to make a french mattress bench cushion.
Try your best to line up the top and bottom stitches because that s what gives the cushion its mattress look.
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.
The things i learned and the things i m glad i bought.
Make the box cushion cover.
First cut the upholstery foam to the desired size.
Continue doing this around the top and bottom of the mattress cushion.
Don t just cut the extra 1 seam allowance cut and extra inch of both sides 3 total so you have lots to bunch up.
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.
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.
I wish i had done this more on mine.
