I'm making cushions for a 5 sided kitchen banquet. The seat cushion is no problem. I made a paper template as my guide. It's a one piece boxed cushion.
The back cushion is one cushion also. It is shaped to fit the 5 back sides of the banquet. SteveA mentioned using velcro to attach the back cushion to the wall. If I make a boxed cushion that is shaped to the 5 back panels, what is the best way to apply the velcro?
Can I use sticky back velcro on the vinyl boxed cushion and wood frame?
Is it best to add some staples to the velcro on the wood frame?
Is it best to sew the velcro onto the boxed cushion?
Is 2" wide velcro OK?
Run pieces of velcro across the top of the 5 panels and down the two ends?
I've not done this before so I appreciate your thoughts and past experiences.

I would use the 2" sew it 2" down from the top edge of the backs and 2" in from the sides so it won't show. Self stick on the walls with a few staples to last. The self stick is pretty strong if its good velcro but kids can be kids.
Thank you for the reply, Paul. I'll give it a try and let you know how things go.

I have used a lot of velcro in the past and Paul has the right idea. I used commercial grade 2 inch velcro and had great luck with it.
I would sew the velcro onto the cushion and then use the glue backed hook with staples on the wood. The only time the glue back doesn't work well is on outdoor applications in Florida. June and I both had problems with the glue melting in the summer time heat.
