About Barnett's Pillows & Cushions

Barnett's Pillows & Cushions brings a focused specialty to the Richmond, Virginia upholstery market. The name says a lot about where this shop puts its energy: cushion replacement, pillow construction, and the fabric work that goes with it. Richmond homeowners and interior designers who need custom cushions made or existing ones rebuilt have a go-to source here. That focus on cushions and pillows means faster turnaround, deep knowledge of foam and fill options, and the ability to handle both individual pieces and larger orders for multiple rooms or commercial spaces.

Services & Process

Barnett's handles custom cushion fabrication for sofas, chairs, window seats, and outdoor furniture, cutting foam to precise dimensions and wrapping it in new fabric chosen by the customer. Pillow construction covers decorative throw pillows, lumbar supports, and bench cushions in a wide range of sizes and shapes. The shop also does furniture reupholstery more broadly, so customers who need a full chair or sofa re-covered can get that done here too. Fabric selection spans indoor and outdoor performance materials, natural fibers, and decorative options suited for both residential and commercial use.

Interior designers and homeowners from the West End, Midlothian corridor, and the Northside regularly use the shop for custom cushion and fabric work. The shop is centrally located to serve most of Richmond's residential neighborhoods without a long drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Barnett's make custom-sized cushions for a window seat I'm building?
Yes, custom sizing is one of the shop's strengths. Bring your measurements or have them measure on-site if possible, and they'll cut foam to fit and cover it in your chosen fabric. Window seat cushions are a common request and the shop handles them regularly.
What foam density should I choose for sofa cushions?
For a sofa seat cushion, a density of 1.8 to 2.0 lb per cubic foot with a firmness rating around 35 ILD is a good starting point for everyday use. The shop can walk you through options based on how firm you like your cushions and how heavily the sofa gets used.
Can I get outdoor cushions made that will hold up to Richmond summers?
Absolutely. Outdoor cushions need UV-resistant, quick-drying foam and performance fabric like solution-dyed acrylic or polyester. Richmond's humid summers are tough on materials, so using proper outdoor-rated fill and fabric is important. The shop can help you select materials built for that environment.
How many yards of fabric do I need for a set of throw pillows?
A standard 18x18 inch throw pillow takes about 3/4 to 1 yard of fabric, depending on the pattern repeat. For a set of four pillows, budget around 3 to 4 yards as a starting point. Bring the shop your dimensions and they'll calculate the exact yardage needed.
Does Barnett's do commercial cushion orders for restaurants or hotels?
Commercial orders are worth discussing directly with the shop. High-volume cushion fabrication for restaurant booth seating, hotel lobbies, or office common areas requires commercial-grade foam and fabrics rated for heavy use. Call (804) 232-4300 to discuss quantities and lead times for your project.
My sofa cushions have gone flat. Can they be refilled without reupholstering the whole sofa?
In many cases, yes. If the cushion covers are in good condition, the shop can open them, replace the foam or add a wrap layer to restore loft, and sew them back up. This is a much more economical fix than full reupholstery and makes a noticeable difference in comfort.
