How to Measure Your Cushions

Measuring for a CushionFactoryUSA order depends on the shape: rectangles need length and width edge to edge, rounds need diameter through the center, and L-shapes or T-shapes need both widths plus the “ear” extension. CushionFactoryUSA recommends measuring the seating surface itself, not an old cushion, since sagging distorts the size.

For a CushionFactoryUSA order you choose length, width (or diameter for round shapes) and foam thickness, which ranges from 2 to 12 inches in 1-inch increments. Shape-specific cushions like L-shapes, T-shapes and trapezoids also need extra dimensions such as the “ear” extension or top and bottom widths.

CushionFactoryUSA generally recommends 2 to 3 inches of foam for a dining-style bench cushion and 4 to 5 inches for a lounging bench, with thickness selectable from 2 to 12 inches. Choose thicker foam for softer comfort and thinner foam for a firmer, more tailored seat.

CushionFactoryUSA offers foam thickness from 2 to 12 inches for seat cushions, and generally recommends thicker foam, around 4 to 5 inches, for lounging comfort and thinner foam, around 2 to 3 inches, for dining or task seating.

CushionFactoryUSA recommends at least 5 to 7 inches of foam thickness for the best comfort on outdoor cushions, with options selectable from 2 to 12 inches. Pair that thickness with Dry Fast foam for damp climates to combine comfort with moisture resistance.

CushionFactoryUSA recommend measuring outdoor cushions by taking the seating area's length and width edge to edge, using the actual chair or bench frame rather than an old, sagging cushion as a guide. Its measuring guide gives shape-specific steps for rectangle, round, trapezoid, T-shape, L-shape and triangle cushions.

CushionFactoryUSA recommends measuring couch cushions edge to edge across the seating area's length and width, using the frame itself rather than an old, sagging cushion. Its measuring guide breaks this down by shape -- rectangle, round, T-shape, L-shape, trapezoid and triangle -- since each shape needs different reference points.

Measure a papasan chair cushion the way CushionFactoryUSA measures a round cushion: find the diameter across the center point of the bowl, from one edge to the opposite edge. For an uneven or oval bowl, trace the shape onto paper using CushionFactoryUSA' custom-template method instead of relying on a single diameter number.

CushionFactoryUSA doesn't publish a standard Adirondack chair cushion size, since it makes every cushion to the customer's own measurement. Measure the chair's seat length and width edge to edge, plus the back if you want a matching back cushion, using our rectangle or curved-shape measuring steps.

Measure a replacement outdoor cushion the same way as any custom cushion: measure the seating area's length and width edge to edge using CushionFactoryUSA' shape-specific guide, rather than an old, sun-faded or sagging cushion, since years outdoors can distort its true size.

CushionFactoryUSA doesn't sell standard preset cushion sizes — every cushion is made to the customer's own measurements. The one standardized element is foam thickness, offered in 2 to 12 inch increments depending on how firm or plush you want the cushion.

CushionFactoryUSA makes cushion foam in 2 to 12 inch thickness increments, so the right thickness depends on how firm or plush you want the seat — thinner foam gives a leaner profile, while thicker foam adds more cushioning and support for daily seating. Match it to your existing cushion's depth if you're replacing one.

CushionFactoryUSA makes outdoor bench cushion foam in 2 to 12 inch thickness increments — thicker foam holds up better to daily outdoor seating and drains faster if it's Dry Fast foam, while thinner foam suits a lower-profile look. Match the thickness to your bench's existing cushion if replacing one.

CushionFactoryUSA makes window seat cushion foam in 2 to 12 inch thickness increments — a thinner cushion (2–4 inches) keeps a low profile under a windowsill, while a thicker one adds more seating comfort for daily use. Match the thickness to your window seat's depth and how the space is used.

CushionFactoryUSA makes bench cushion foam in 2 to 12 inch thickness increments — thicker foam gives firmer, longer-lasting support for daily seating, while thinner foam suits a lower-profile bench. Match the new foam's thickness to your existing cushion if you're replacing one.

CushionFactoryUSA makes patio furniture cushions custom to any size and shape instead of stocking fixed sizes, because most patio cushions are not one standard size — dimensions vary widely by furniture brand and model. Seat thickness is available from 2 to 12 inches, cut to the customer's exact measurements.

CushionFactoryUSA doesn't limit outdoor cushions to fixed sizes — every cushion is made custom to the buyer's own measurements, with seat and back thickness available from 2 to 12 inches in 1-inch increments, in shapes including rectangle, round, L-shape, T-shape, trapezium, triangle and chaise lounge.

CushionFactoryUSA builds replacement lounge chair cushions from the buyer's exact measurements — length, width and thickness — taken from the chair itself rather than an old, sagging cushion. For color matching, CushionFactoryUSA recommends ordering a fabric swatch first, since screen colors can look different from the actual fabric in person.
