your own template
1. Place your paper on the floor with your cushion on top of the
paper.
2. Carefully draw an outline around the cushion.
3. Remove the cushion and cut out the
outline.
4.
Ensure that the template is the same shape
on the left and on the right
by folding the paper in half to make sure it is equal on both sides.

following items clearly on
your template:
a. Your name, address and telephone number

Replacement Sofa Cushions
Please
Note: When measuring
foam cushions for new foam fillings there are a few things that need to be taken
into consideration. The new foam interior needs to be slightly bigger than your
cushion cover. This allows the foam to be slightly compacted and will help it to
fill out the cushion cover properly. If the foam interior is too small then your
cover will wrinkle when you sit on it. If the new foam fillings are too big, you
may strain the seams and zipper of your cushion cover and your new cushion will
look distorted and bulbous.
When replacing foam cushion interiors with new ones, you will need
to add -
as a general rule - 1” to the cushion width and 1” to the cushion length. It is advisable to add 1” to the depth of the cushion as well. This will ensure that
your cushions have a domed appearance rather than looking too flat.
For Back Foams
Please Note:
Measure in the same way
as above for the length and width measurements. Add 2” to the depth of the
cushion border. This will give your back cushions a lovely plump appearance.
