01
Measure the cushion cover
Remove the pad, lay the cover flat and measure seam to seam across the width and height. If the cover is piped, measure from piping to piping rather than from the outside edge.
Cushion guidance
How to measure cushions
Simple, practical guidance for choosing the right cushion size before you configure your order.
A better fit starts with one careful measurement.
Made to measureThree things to note
Start with the cover, then choose the finish.
02
Check the shape and finish
Note whether the cushion is square or rectangular, and whether you want piping around the edge. Piping adds definition and is selected separately in the configurator.
03
Choose the pad option
Select Duck Feather for a softer, fuller finish, or Cover Only if you already have an inner. The selected size controls the available pad surcharge.
What to measure
Use the finished size you want to see.
Our cushion options use the finished width and height of the cushion. If you are replacing an existing cover, measure it flat from seam to seam. If you are starting from a pad, use the size on its label where possible.
Width
Side to side
Measure across the front of the cover, from seam to seam.
Height
Top to bottom
For a rectangular cushion, measure the other face dimension in the same way.
Deeper seat cushions
Send us the depth as well
For a bench, sofa seat or boxed cushion, include the front-to-back depth and thickness. These cushions use additional side panels, so we can confirm the best way to quote and make them.
Before you order
A quick final check.
- Use a metal tape measure and record measurements in centimetres.
- Measure the cover or pad seam to seam, not the loose, overfilled edge.
- Check the size twice before adding the cushion to your basket.
- Order a fabric sample first if colour, texture or pattern scale matters.
