Lale (Tulip) Diwan Floor Sofa
Diwan Sofas · Single, L & U · 2 colors
Handmade in Istanbul
Ciragan quilted diwan floor sofa sets pair a seat top stitched in a small lattice with damask back cushions, in sea green or ivory, as a single sofa, an L or a U. Each standard seat cushion is 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm) and can be 4 in (10 cm), 8 in (20 cm), 12 in (30 cm) or 16 in (40 cm) thick.
The full piece list with sizes is below.
Cushions are pressed, rolled and vacuum-sealed for shipping and spring back to full size once you open them; they can't be re-compressed at home.
Your set ships in several boxes, typically two or three for an L-shape and more for larger layouts, and they may arrive on different days.
Every box gets its own tracking number, emailed as soon as your order ships.
Each shipment travels with a commercial invoice that lists the goods, their value, weight and materials.
Covers unzip and can be machine-washed on a gentle 86°F (30°C) cycle with a mild detergent; avoid heat, which can shrink them.
Photographed in sea green and ivory.





Sofa only is the seating: seat cushions, backrests, armrest bolsters and, on an L or a U, the short corner backrests. The fuller set adds three pouf pillows and a 23.5 × 23.5 × 8 in (60 × 60 × 20 cm) ottoman that works as a low table. Ask for an itemized quote listing every piece and its size.
From the atelier
Seats are usually made at 4 in (10 cm), 8 in (20 cm), 12 in (30 cm) or 16 in (40 cm), measured from the floor to the top of the seat. Low heights keep a traditional floor feel, and 16 in (40 cm) sits close to sofa height. Measure the seat of a chair you find comfortable and compare.
From the atelier
Every set arrives with its covers and foam inserts, ready to use, with no stuffing or assembly.
The seat foam is firm to medium-firm; softer or firmer filling can be requested.

The 4 in (10 cm) and 8 in (20 cm) sets are the everyday choices; 12 in (30 cm) and 16 in (40 cm) cushions are usually made to order.
| Cushion thickness | Height from the floor | How it is built | Sits like |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 in (10 cm) | 10 of 40 cm | The standard cushion | Classic floor-style seating |
| 8 in (20 cm) | 20 of 40 cm | One solid block, or two stacked 4 in cushions | The usual low seat, close to the floor |
| 12 in (30 cm) | 30 of 40 cm | Can be stacked: 8 in plus 4 in | Easier to get up from than a low seat |
| 16 in (40 cm) | 40 of 40 cm | Can be stacked: two 8 in layers | About the seat height of a regular sofa |
Stacked cushions are separate pieces, not sewn together, so a top layer can come off and serve as an extra floor mattress for guests.

Woven damask back cushions.

Quilted seat top with a small lattice stitch.

The upholstery uses first-quality Turkish fabric.
Made-to-order sets take a little longer than ready ones — ask us for the current timing.
| Piece | Size | Single | L | U |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seat cushion | 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm) | 1 | 2 | 3 |
| Backrest | 37.5 × 16 × 4 in (95 × 40 × 10 cm) | 2 | 4 | 6 |
| Short corner backrest | 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) | – | 1 | 2 |
| Armrest bolster | 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm) | 2 | 2 | 4 |
| Ottoman (fuller sets) | 23.5 × 23.5 × 8 in (60 × 60 × 20 cm) | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Pouf pillow (fuller sets) | 27.5 × 19.5 in (70 × 50 cm) | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Small throw pillow (fuller sets) | Made to match | 2 | 2 | 4 |
The first four rows are the seating. The rest join a fuller set. Each piece is a foam insert inside its own zippered cover. Ciragan is one of three patterns on our diwan floor sofa sets page, where they are compared side by side.
A single takes one wall of about 75 in (190 cm). For an L, plan walls of about 75 in (190 cm) and 102 in (260 cm). The second run gives up one seat depth, about 27.5 in (70 cm), at the corner. A U gives about 224 in (570 cm) of seating, with sides near 75 in (190 cm), 130 in (330 cm) and 75 in (190 cm).
Walls of other lengths are cut to fit, and a long wall becomes two or more cushions, none longer than about 75 in (190 cm). Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. I would mark doors and radiators first, because they decide where a run has to stop.
| Seat thickness | How it is built | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| 4 in (10 cm) | One foam layer, the everyday standard | Prayer corners and classic low rooms |
| 8 in (20 cm) | A single block, or a pair of 4 in (10 cm) cushions stacked | Daily low seating |
| 12 in (30 cm) | Usually made to order | Relatives who rise with effort |
| 16 in (40 cm) | Usually made to order | Anyone used to sofa height |
The sea green set in the photos sits on two stacked layers. They stay separate, so the top one can come off and serve as a guest bed on the floor. Seat foam ranges from firm to medium-firm, and a softer or firmer fill is available on request. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.
My own choice for a household with older relatives is the 12 in (30 cm) seat, low in look but easy to rise from. Made-to-order sets take a little longer than ready ones — ask us for the current timing. Our floor sofa thickness guide explains each height.
Both colorways pair a quilted seat top, stitched in a small lattice, with back cushions woven in a large damask figure. Sea green shows the figure more clearly, and ivory keeps the set light. The name comes from Çırağan Palace on the Bosphorus, named for the lamp-lit evenings held in its gardens in the early 1700s, as the Ciragan pattern story explains.
The fabric is meant for indoor rooms. Covers unzip and can be machine-washed on a gentle 86°F (30°C) cycle with a mild detergent, away from dryer heat, which can shrink them. Screens rarely agree on a pale green. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order.
Send them with a photo of the room. The majlis planner places each cushion along your walls before you write.
Each backrest needs a wall or a firm partition behind it, so the Ciragan is drawn along walls. If one side has to stay open, ask for metal back supports there.
The seat top is quilted in a small lattice and the large damask figure is kept for the back cushions, so the set reads calm at seat level and patterned at eye level.
Yes. Seat cushions, backrests, a short corner backrest and spare covers can be ordered any time, so a single can later turn a corner. Send a photo of the set you already have.
