Measurement Help Guide - Slipcovers

S O F A S / L O V E S E A T S

  1. If your furniture has removable cushions, remove them and set aside before taking your measurements. If your furniture has cushions which look like they come off but are actually attached, take your measurements over top of them.
  2. The first measurement is the PROFILE MEASUREMENT of your furniture. Please ensure that you measure from floor to floor as shown in figure 2. This measurement helps determine the cost. See our price chart.
  3. Next, measure from the floor at the back of the couch over top of the highest point at the back down to the inside back seat of the furniture.
  4. Next, measure from the back of the seat to the front floor, again at the widest point.
  5. Measure each unique cushion shape. We need the height, length and width measurements If your cushions are more complicated than rectangles, we will need an example of each unique cushion shape to make your covers. (we do not need the entire cushion, just the cover(s))
  6. Trace the shape of one front arm.

O T T O M A N S

  1. Measure the length, width and height as shown. The longest dimension determines the cost.
  2. If you wish to have an inverted box pleat skirt, you will need to provide 2 height measurements as shown.

C H A I R S

  1. Chairs are measured in the same fashion as sofas/loveseats. Start with the profile measurement of your chair. Please ensure that you measure from floor to floor. This measurement determines the cost. Follow the same guidelines as the sofa measurement help guide.

Many of our customers supply fabric they have chosen themselves

If you plan on supplying your own fabric, please ensure that it is 54" minimum or wider and we recommend a wash & wear, polyester-cotton blend. We recommend that you pre-wash/dry your fabric. We also provide a pre-wash service to pre-shrink the fabric. Below are some guidelines to help you determine how much fabric to buy.
