  • It’s best to measure the furniture seating area rather than the cushion.
  • Use a firm tape measure – not a flexible one for the best results.
  • Round up or round down to the nearest inch.

If your cushion has a Standard Radius Curve

The radius of the rounded corner is the distance from the inside corner of the framing square to where the curve starts.

  1. Ideally a framing square is best but if you don’t have one, then extend the length of two rulers or tape measure so that the ends meet.
  2. Measure from the start of the curve (2) to the corner (1) where the two rulers/tape measures meet.
