Measurement Guide

Measure from one side of the chair seat to the other at its widest point. For chairs with arms, measure the inside distance between the arms.

Measure from the front edge of the seat to the back of the chair. For chairs with a curved back, measure to where the seat meets the back.

Decide how thick you want your cushion to be. Standard dining chair cushions are usually 2-3 inches thick. For comfort without raising your seated position too high, 2 inches is often ideal.

Check if your chair has rounded corners, a curved front, or requires ties to secure the cushion in place.

Measure the entire length of your bench from end to end.

Measure from the front edge to the back edge of the seating area.

For dining benches, 2-3 inches is standard. For window seats or reading nooks, 3-4 inches provides more comfort.

Note if your bench has squared corners, rounded corners, or custom cutouts that should be reflected in the cushion design.

Measure the width of the seating area from side to side.

Measure from the front edge to where the seat meets the back of the chair.

For the back cushion, measure from where the seat meets the back up to the top edge or desired height.

Measure the width of the back area, which may be different from the seat width.

Deep seat cushions are typically 4-5 inches thick for the seat and 2-3 inches thick for the back.

Measure straight across the widest part of the circle.

Measure across at a perpendicular angle to confirm it's truly round.

Use paper, cardboard, or newspaper to create a template of the exact shape.

Trace the template onto paper and measure the dimensions at their widest points.

Always measure at the widest or longest points of your furniture to ensure proper fit.

For chairs with arms, measure the inside width between arms, not the outside dimensions.

Remember that thicker cushions will raise your seating height, which may affect comfort at tables or desks.

Always double-check your measurements to avoid costly mistakes. Measure twice, order once!
