How to Measure Foam Cushions For Your Sofa
Want to Measure Foam Cushions? Follow our easy step by step guide:
• If possible it is always best to measure sizes from your existing covers, measuring old foam is not always accurate as foam can become misshaped over time
• Measure your covers from corner to corner along the seams, pulling the cover taut to ensure you get a good fit. It is always best to measure both the front and back of each cover as some cushions can vary in width front to back
• Again when measuring the depth of a cushion it should be done seam to seam, if you have a piped edge cover measure between the piping. You should order foam to the size of the cover border width and then add Dacron and stockinette to get the best fit for your cushion.
• You should never measure across the middle of a cushion as it may have a domed top which will affect your overall measurements.
• Please select the appropriate product shape from our list and enter your dimension as per the measuring process above.
Please Note: Whilst we advise that you measure from seam to seam, if the loft of your cushion goes over the seams significantly, you may need to add additional depth for a fuller fit. Whilst Dacron will add loft to your cushion (1cm top, 1cm bottom approx), it may not be sufficient if the depth significantly rises past the seams. If your current cushion has a domed shape (e.g. not shaped like the Sofa Cushion Foam templates we offer), please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Domed Cushions & Cushion Thickness
Our video guide is a demonstration of how to accurately measure standard shape sofa cushions. In regards to thickness, where there is a rise of approximately 1 inch or more above the seam, you may need to measure differently. In this instance, measuring between the seams may not be a suitable method. We recommend contacting our team for advice if you are uncertain about the shape of your sofa cushion, the best way to measure it or how to place an order. Our experts are always happy to provide assistance.
