Sedir seating, or a wooden bench majlis, raises Arabic floor cushions onto solid pine frames placed along the wall, with backrests leaning behind each seat and armrest bolsters at the open ends. Each standard bench measures 75 × 27.5 × 16 in (190 × 70 × 40 cm) once its cushion is on, so guests sit at roughly regular sofa height, and a single bench seats about three people.
Questions buyers ask
Do you make an Arabic-style wooden bench sofa, ideally without arms for a dining room?
Wooden seating includes Sedir Bench, with pine benches and kilim-patterned cushions, and Turkish Majlis, with wooden frames and Turkish carpet-weave cushions. Bench runs can be planned without arms along a dining table. Send the wall or table length, and the team confirms the selected model and its proposed layout.
Is the wooden majlis comfortable enough for a family home, or is it better for cafés?
Sedir Bench pairs a pine bench with kilim-patterned cushions and sits firmer than an all-foam set. Describe the intended room and compare the selected model’s construction before ordering. Turkish Majlis is a separate wooden-frame collection with Turkish carpet-weave fabric, so its cloth should not be described as the Sedir Bench kilim pattern.
Is the wooden frame shown in the floor sofa photos included with the set?
A floor sofa set covers the seat cushions, backrests and armrests only, so the wooden frame is not part of it. The frame is a separate product, the wooden bench, which can be ordered with the set to raise the seat. If a design's photos show both, ask the team which pieces that design includes.

Stories and guides
All guidesAbout Sedir Benches
Which wooden bench lines can you choose between?
Sedir Bench uses pine benches with kilim-patterned cushions; Afghan Gul and Anatolian Kilim are two patterns on this line. Turkish Majlis is a separate collection with wooden frames and Turkish carpet-weave fabric. Keep the model and material references distinct when comparing them with the all-foam builds in our Arabic majlis sofa sets.
What arrives in a single bench set and in a U of three benches?
A single bench set brings one bench, one seat cushion, two backrests and two armrest bolsters. A U of three benches counts 16 pieces once its rug is included.
| Set | Benches | Seat cushions | Backrests | Armrest bolsters | Rug | Seats about |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single bench set | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | Some versions | 3 people |
| U-shaped set | 3 | 3 | 6 | 3 | Included | 6 people |
A two-bench L falls between these sets, and your quote lists each of its pieces. Ask us whether a matching rug is included with your set.
How high does a bench majlis sit, and who finds it easiest?
A bench with its cushion sits at about 16 in (40 cm), close to a regular living-room sofa. Wooden-base majlis models measure 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm) depending on the model, and they are not made lower.
| Build | Seat height | How it sits |
|---|---|---|
| Pine bench with seat cushion | About 16 in (40 cm) | Upright and firm |
| Wooden-base majlis | 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm), by model | Firm, wood under seat and back |
| Full-foam floor sofa | 4 in (10 cm) to 16 in (40 cm) | Foam throughout, softer than wood |
For older relatives who sit there every day, I lean toward the pine bench. Rising from 16 in (40 cm) asks far less of the knees than rising from the floor. A prayer room or a classic low room suits Arabic floor sofa sets at 4 in (10 cm) or 8 in (20 cm). Wood frame or all foam: neither is better, they answer different rooms.
What is a sedir bench made of?
Solid pine makes the frame of every sedir bench, and a foam seat cushion rides on top. Cedar style names the look, and the frames are pine. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build. Carved back panels on other wooden majlis models are MDF, which holds fine detail cleanly.

- Frame lengths: 47 in (120 cm), 59 in (150 cm), 71 in (180 cm) and 75 in (190 cm)
- Backrests: 35.5 × 16 × 4 in (90 × 40 × 10 cm), two to each seat, leaning on the wall
- Armrest bolsters: 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm) at each open end

Where does a wooden bench majlis work best?
The Sedir Bench line is a common choice for cafés and restaurants, because it sits firmer than our all-foam sets. For hospitality rooms, commercial majlis seating covers cafés, halls and events. Pine benches need a wall behind them, since their backrests lean on it. A freestanding run is a different build, with a wooden base and a wooden backrest.
How do bench lengths add up along your wall?
Bench frames come in fixed lengths, so a wall is filled by combining them end to end. A wall of 130 in (330 cm), for example, takes a 59 in (150 cm) frame and a 71 in (180 cm) frame, with cushions made to suit. I would rather join two honest lengths than stretch one frame past its size.
An L is two benches meeting at the corner, and you choose which wall takes the longer bench. Mark doors and windows before you settle the lengths. Plans for one, two and three walls are drawn under majlis layouts.
What stands out first on a firm, upright seat?
Buyers tend to notice support first. A firm seat suits people who sit for long stretches, and softer or firmer filling can be requested. Color comes up next, so look at the fabric in daylight before you decide.
What happens between your quote and the day the benches arrive?
Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. Wooden pieces take longer to make than foam sets — ask us for the current schedule. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship. Wooden pieces travel in larger packaging and take longer than foam sets — ask us for the current estimate. A fabric sample settles a choice between two weaves faster than any screen.

Can I buy just the wooden bench, without cushions, to lift floor cushions off the ground?
Wooden benches are sold on their own as well as in sets, so you can order bench frames alone or with backrests and armrests, then add cushions you already own. A standard bench is 75 in (190 cm) long and 27.5 in (70 cm) deep and takes a floor cushion of 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm). Send a photo of your cushions first.
What comes in a wooden bench set, and is the rug or ottoman included?
Each set is built from benches, seat cushions, backrests and armrest bolsters, and L and U sets add pieces in the same pattern. Ask us whether a matching rug is included with your set. Ottomans and pouf pillows are usually add-ons, so ask for an itemized quote that names every piece.
What kind of wood do you use for wooden majlis and benches? Is it real cedar or MDF?
Sedir Bench uses pine benches with kilim-patterned cushions. Turkish Majlis uses wooden frames and Turkish carpet-weave fabric; confirm the frame material of the selected model rather than reading cedar as a timber specification. Other wooden majlis models use solid pine or MDF for base and back panels, with carved back panels in MDF.
