How to Measure a Bench for a Cushion
A relaxing spot in your garden or a useful seat by your front door, bench cushions can be made to your dimensions. Follow these steps to ensure a proper fit for your custom cushion.
Do not order new cushions based on measurements
of your existing or old bench cushions.
Over time, cushions can become worn and the fabric stretched. Using these measurements will result in cushions that may not fit your furniture. Instead, measure the bench on which you will use the new cushion. Measuring tips:
A. Use a firm (carpenter's) tape measure, rather than a flexible (tailor's) measuring tape for the most accurate results.
B. Keep in mind that when ordering, you will need to round up or round down to the nearest 1/2 inch.
Steps 1-2: Dimensions
1. Measure the width of the bench's seat.
2. Measure the depth of the bench's seat.
Step 3: Thickness
3. Decide the cushion thickness you would like.
Bench cushions are available 2-8 inches thick (in 1-inch increments), depending on the type of cushion you select.
If you are also ordering back cushions for your bench, make sure to subtract the thickness of the seat cushion from the height of your bench's back dimension, or the back cushion will be taller than the chair back when put into position.
Is your bench odd-shaped?
If your bench seat is any shape other than rectangle/square, you will need to make and send a template (pattern)
for your furniture. To learn how, visit "How to Make a Template".
