MEASURING PATIO CUSHIONS


The first step in selecting cushions that will fit your patio furniture is knowing how to measure the furniture. You can measure your existing cushions or the patio furniture itself. Once you have taken the measurements, you should be able to easily find made to measure outdoor cushions that you need.

Measurements presented on our site: Width x Depth x Height
Length x Width x Height x Hinge/Break

Important Tips

  • Older cushions tend to spread or flatten out over time and may throw off measurements
  • Remember not to flatten or press your cushions down while measuring
  • Make sure to measure seam to seam, not edge to edge

Important Tips

  • When measuring your outdoor furniture, a good tip is to try to imagine new, made to measure outdoor cushions sitting on your furniture. This helps to know how high and far you would like the cushions to come to the new edges.
