Premium Arabic Jalsah in Cream and Light Gray
Arabic Majlis · L & U · 2 colors
Handmade in Istanbul
The Elegance Royal Jalsah is a white and gold Yemeni majlis planned around your walls, with cream seats on a brown base faced in gold fretwork and backrests crossed by gold straps. Boxy brown armrests faced in the same fretwork close each open end, and the dark chevron pillows carry a gold stripe.
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.
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.
The covers unzip from the foam and can be machine-washed on a gentle 86°F (30°C) cycle with a mild detergent. Heat can shrink them, so skip the dryer and refit each cover only once it is fully dry.
From the atelier
Single pieces and covers-only sets can be ordered any time, so one lasting mark does not mean a new majlis. Ask us with a photo of the piece and its size from your layout drawing.
From the atelier
The seat foam is firm to medium-firm; softer or firmer filling can be requested.
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.
Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule.

No count is fixed in advance: the design team draws every piece your walls need, each as foam in a zippered cover. Darker designs in our Yemeni majlis collection share this module list; cream mainly changes the care routine.
A 146 in (370 cm) wall becomes two equal seats of about 73 in (185 cm), because no seat piece runs past 75 in (190 cm). Walls are measured along the floor from corner to corner, with doorways left out.
Seats sit about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep, or about 19.5 in (50 cm) to 23.5 in (60 cm) for a narrow room. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval.
| Seat height | Build | Suits |
|---|---|---|
| 4 in (10 cm) | All foam | Classic floor-level sitting and prayer rooms |
| 8 in (20 cm) | All foam | Low seating with a little more ease |
| 12 in (30 cm) | All foam | Anyone who finds low seats hard to rise from |
| 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm), depending on the model | All foam, or foam seats on an MDF and wood frame | About the seat height of a regular sofa |
Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build. Builds with wood sit at about 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm) and are not made lower, and on a 16 in (40 cm) seat the backrest brings the total height to about 31.5 in (80 cm). Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule.
Other ivory and cream majlis designs show how far a pale palette can travel. Pale fabric shows marks sooner than navy or maroon. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order.
Firm upholstered backrests stay put, while soft pillow-style backs end up on the floor once toddlers find them. Each seat takes two, each about half its length.
My rule for pale covers: wash the one that looks dull, not the whole room, and keep the chevron pillows to a few while the children are small.
The longer routine is in our everyday majlis care guide. When you are ready, neighbor, send your wall lengths, a room photo, your seat height and the shade you lean toward. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship.
Most of our designs can be built with or without a wooden base and backrests, so this one can also be made as all-foam seating. Ask the team how the gold fretwork would carry over.
The order covers the seating: seat modules, backrests, both armrest styles and pillows with covers and filling. Tables, rugs and curtains are separate add-ons, and the lighting belongs to the room.
Pale fabric takes on the color of the light around it, so under a blue cove the seats read cool at night and return to cream by day.
