Measurement Guides
Accurate measurements are the secret to a perfect cushion fit. Our measurement guides walk you through measuring seat width, depth, back height and thickness for chairs, benches, sofas and window seats — with printable size charts and common-dimension tables. Send us those numbers and we will sew custom cushions to a ±½″ tolerance, factory-direct, with free shipping over $149 (otherwise $29) and 7-14 day delivery.
How to Measure Rocking Chair Cushions: Seats, Backs and Tie Positions
How to measure rocking chair cushions — tapered seats, curved backs, slat-gap tie maps and rock clearance — with the three-number protocol for both pieces of a rocker set.
Window Seat Cushion Measurement: How to Get a Perfect Fit
Measure a window seat cushion correctly — width across alcoves, depth front to back, thickness vs sill height, radius corners and bay window angles — with tips from the cutting floor.
How to Measure Adirondack Chair Cushions: Seats, Fan Backs and Slat Gaps
How to measure Adirondack chair cushions — tapered seats, fan-back heights, recline geometry, strap-through slat-gap maps and two-piece sets for the tall-back chair.
How to Measure Curved Wicker Seating for Custom Cushions
Curved fronts take three numbers — chord, depth, bow height — not a tape dragged along the curve. The factory method for wicker sectionals and gliders, plus when to skip numbers and send a paper template.
How to Measure an L-Shaped Bench Cushion
Five numbers define an L-shaped cushion — total length, total depth, short-arm width, arm depth and thickness — all taken along outside edges. The factory method, with real sectional dimensions and the inside-corner traps.
Extra Long Bench Cushions: 60 to 96 Inches Done Right
Extra long bench cushion guide: 60-96 inch pads for hallways, deck benches and window runs, the fill-migration problem and stitch patterns, one-piece versus two-piece builds, and measuring long runs accurately.
Bench Cushion Measurements: Sizes, Thickness and Fit for Any Bench
How to measure a bench cushion — length between vs overhang styles, depth, thickness by use, radius ends and glider benches — with real dimensions from popular patio benches.
Ladder Back Chair Cushions: Sizing for Spindle Furniture
Ladder back chair cushion guide: why the shallow seat and cane panels make sizing hard, how to measure between the seat rails, whether a back cushion makes sense on a slatted back, and how ladder backs differ from cross back, spindle back and slat back chairs.
Why Custom Cut Cushions Don’t Slide: The Physics of a Measured Fit
Why cushions slide (gap, friction pairing and sit-down load), how a cushion cut to the measured frame eliminates the travel instead of fighting it, where geometry does all the work (banquettes, window seats, benches), and an honest comparison of measured fit against ties, non-slip bases and loose underlays.
How to Measure a Rectangle Cushion: Width, Depth and Thickness Done Right
The shape rule for rectangular cushions — width corner to corner, depth straight front to back, thickness seam to seam, plus the diagonal check that proves the seat is a true rectangle and the mistakes that read long.
