How To Measure For Custom Cushions
The main thing to consider when measuring for new cushions is to measure the furniture the cushions are to go on, and not existing cushions. Over time, fabric stretches and loses shape therefore if we take measurements from your existing cushions, your new ones may not fit as perfectly as you would like. We will go through this with you when you place your order so we understand your requirements exactly.
Need help measuring for new outdoor cushions? We may be able to do a home visit in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth where we will help you measure your furniture for new cushions and also bring samples of fabrics and foam to help you decide what is best for you.
