Memory cushion from clothing: size, filling and fabric choices

A memory cushion gives your favourite clothes a familiar place in everyday life. The front is made from the clothes you send in; for the back, choose one of the available fabrics.

Memory cushion — a real Matima creation

An example. Your keepsake is made using your own wishes and materials.

How much does each size cost?

The memory cushion is available in 25 cm for €59, 50 cm for €99 and 70 cm for €139. One of the available backing fabrics is included in the base price. An extra name or message costs €15 as an iron-on or €25 embroidered.

Filled cushion or zipped cover?

You can choose a filled cushion or a zipped cover without filling. The price is the same for each size. If you already have a suitable cushion insert, a cover may be the right choice.

How many garments should I send?

First choose the cushion size and whether you are using baby, children’s or adult clothing. The configurator shows the relevant guideline. The usable fabric area and your preferred motifs matter, not just the number of garments.

Can I use a loved one’s clothing?

Yes, you can choose personal clothing for a memory cushion. Take your time deciding which garments may be altered. Mark particularly important motifs and ask about uncertain fabrics beforehand. Unused garments are returned intact.

How long does making and delivery take?

Within Germany, the current time from receipt of your clothes to delivery is 4–6 weeks, including shipping. Sending your clothes happens before this period. For a gift needed on a fixed date, please discuss the timing with Saskia before ordering.
