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.

Care

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.

How high will you sit?

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.

Thickness guide

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.

Questions buyers ask

My room is very large. Do you make majlis seating for big halls with long walls?

Large majlis for big rooms and halls are made to order regularly, including layouts that run 591 in (1500 cm) of wall or more. The designer splits long runs into modules that fit each wall section and meet cleanly at the corners.

From the atelier

My room isn't a perfect rectangle: the corners aren't square and there's a column. Can a majlis still fit?

Irregular rooms are measured the same way: take each wall separately, photograph every corner, and mark columns, bay windows and angled sections on a paper sketch. Because each piece is cut to order, seats can be shortened, angled or notched around a column or a heater.

From the atelier

What's inside the cushion?

The seat foam is firm to medium-firm; softer or firmer filling can be requested.

Seat foamSeats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.
Cushion thickness4 in (10 cm), 8 in (20 cm), 12 in (30 cm), 16 in (40 cm)
BuildChoose all-foam modules or a wooden-frame build; softer or firmer filling is available on request.
MaterialsUpholstery chosen per order: Turkish velvet, chenille or a linen-look weave; the upholstery uses first-quality Turkish fabric.
On arrivalOpen the vacuum bags within about a week of delivery and give the cushions about a day to recover their full shape before use.

What does a quote cover?

A custom majlis quote covers seat cushions, backrests, two styles of armrest and matching pillows, all with covers and filling; tables, rugs and curtains are separate add-ons.

Questions about this design

Which pieces make up an Elegance hall, and how big are they?

Piece	How many	Size
Seat module	Cut to each wall run	Up to 75 in (190 cm), 29.5 in (75 cm) deep
Corner module	Each inside corner	39 × 39 in (100 × 100 cm), raised builds
Backrest	Two per seat	16 in (40 cm) tall, 4 in (10 cm) thick
Armrest	Each open end	19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm) at floor height

The quote covers seats, backrests, armrests and pillows with their covers and filling; the runner, star table and lit ceiling in the photos are styling. Elegance follows the module rules of our made-to-measure majlis seating, so the piece list grows with the hall.

How is a long hall split into seats?

Each wall is divided into equal seats no longer than about 75 in (190 cm), so a 134 in (340 cm) run becomes two of 67 in (170 cm). I begin at the corners, because the corner piece takes room on both walls.

Two facing runs 29.5 in (75 cm) deep use 59 in (150 cm) of the floor, so a hall 157 in (400 cm) wide keeps about 98 in (250 cm) for the runner and the path. Seat depth can shrink to about 19.5 in (50 cm)–23.5 in (60 cm) for a tight hall or grow to about 33.5 in (85 cm) on request.

Which seat height suits long evenings in the hall?

Seat height	How it sits	Build
4 in (10 cm)	Traditional floor line	Foam
8 in (20 cm)	Classic low seat	Foam or wooden back
12 in (30 cm)	Easier to stand from	Foam or wooden back
14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm)	Near sofa height	Foam or wooden base

Long gatherings with older guests call for 12 in (30 cm) or more on my plans; a floor-style hall keeps 4 in (10 cm) to 8 in (20 cm). A wooden base is built only at about 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm). Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.

What can change besides the cream and gold?

Cream and gold are a starting point: any solid shade on our color card can replace the cream, gold details are optional, and the cover can be Turkish velvet, chenille or linen-look cloth, all indoor upholstery. Similar light schemes sit among the ivory, cream and pearl majlis designs.

Fabric, color and any gold detail

Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order.

Can the hall's walls be dressed in the seat fabric?

We can also supply the seat fabric by the meter; ask us for it with the hall plan. It comes on 55 in (140 cm) rolls, so walls and ceilings are covered in strips of that width, not one wide panel.

What goes on the sketch before you ask for a layout?

Tape both long walls at floor level from one corner to the other, then the hall's width.
Mark doors with their swing, columns and floor vents, measured from the nearest corner.
Photograph the hall from each end.

The design team turns those numbers into a seat-by-seat drawing. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval.

How many guests does a hall-length Elegance layout seat?

Plan on two to three people per 75 in (190 cm) seat piece, so about 591 in (1500 cm) of seating holds sixteen to twenty-four guests. The layout drawing shows the final count.

Are the runner rug and star table part of the Elegance quote?

Both are styling in the photographed hall. The quote covers the seating with covers and filling; rugs and tables are separate add-ons, quoted if you ask with the hall plan.

Can an Elegance hall have seating on just one long wall?

A single straight run works, with an armrest at each open end. Floor seating leans on a wall, so a run that has to stand out in the room needs a wooden base and backrest of its own.
