How to Measure Your Cushions

How to Measure Your Cushions?

Below is an easy guide to measuring various shapes

Rectangle Cushions

Step 1: Start by measuring the length and width of the area where your cushion will sit. Be sure to measure from edge to edge to ensure a proper fit.
Step 2: Select the cushion thickness based on your comfort preferences and the intended use. Seat cushions and pads are available in thicknesses from 2 to 12 inches (in 1-inch increments).

Note : Avoid taking measurements from old cushions that may be sagging or misshapen, as they won't provide an accurate measurement.

Round / Circle Cushions

Step 1: Measure the diameter from one edge to the other, passing through the center point of the cushion.
Step 2: Select the cushion thickness based on your comfort needs. Seat cushions and pads are available in thicknesses from 2 to 12 inches (in 1-inch increments).

Trapezium Cushions

Step 1: Measure the length from the middle perpendicular to the top and bottom edges.
Step 2: Measure the bottom width from the widest edge. For the top width, measure across the opposite side of the bottom width.
Step 3: Measure the thickness based on your old cushions or your desired comfort level.

T-Shape Cushions

Step 1: Measure the length from the middle perpendicular to the top and bottom edges.
Step 2: Measure the top width from the widest edge. For the bottom width, measure across the opposite side of the top width.
Step 3: Measure the thickness based on your current cushions or your desired comfort level.
Step 4: Record the dimension of the "ear" or extension, starting from the top edge.

L-Shape Cushions

Step 1: Measure the longest side of the cushion as the length.
Step 2: Measure the bottom width from the widest edge. Next, measure the top width from the opposite side of the bottom width.

Step 3: Determine the thickness based on your old cushions or your desired comfort level.

Step 4: Record the dimension of the "ear" or extension, starting from the bottom edge adjacent to the bottom width.

Equilateral Triangle Cushions

Step 1: Since all sides are equal, measure the length of any one side.
Step 2: Determine the thickness based on your old cushions or your desired comfort level.

90° Triangle Cushions

Step 1: Identify the two perpendicular sides. Measure one as the length and the other as the width.

Step 2: Determine the thickness based on your old cushions or your desired comfort level.

Throw Pillows

Step 1: Hold the top and bottom corners of the pillow and gently pull the fabric tight.

Step 2: Measure from the top to the bottom along the edge of the pillow.

Step 3: Hold the left and right corners of the pillow, pulling the fabric tight.

Step 4: Measure from left to right along the edge of the pillow.

Custom Shapes

We recommend using tracing paper to create a template of the cushion or space. If you need assistance with your custom order, feel free to reach out to our customer support team.

To create the template:

Step 1: Use tracing paper or chart paper large enough to cover the cushion area. If the area is too large, tape multiple sheets together to create a single piece.

Step 2: Carefully trace along the edges of the area using a ruler or freehand.

Step 3: Label each side with the corresponding measurements.

Chaise Lounge Cushions

Step 1: Measure your length, bottom width, height and top width of the chaise. Make sure to measure edge to edge.
Step 2: Decide on the cushion thickness based on your comfort needs. Seat cushions and pads are available in thicknesses from 2 to 12 inches (in 1-inch increments), depending on the cushion or pad you select.
Note : Avoid taking measurements from old cushions that may be sagging or misshapen, as they won't provide an accurate measurement.
