How to Measure Your Cushion
Supplies Needed to Complete This Task
You will need a writing utensil, paper and a tape measure to measure the size of your cushion.Ordering Your Foam
To make sure you order the right amount of foam for your cushions, measurements need to be made. These will be slightly different from the measurements you will record when preparing to create the cushion.
Using these measurements, add an additional 1" to the length, width, and thickness. Then, if your cover's thickness exceeds a whole inch by 1/2" or less, round it down to the nearest inch. If your cover's thickness exceeds a whole inch by more than 1/2", round it up to the nearest inch. A measured thickness of 4-1/2" would be increased to 5-1/2" and then rounded down to final value of 5", and a measured thickness of 4-3/4" would be increased to 5-3/4" and rounded up to a final value 6".
After recording these measurements, contact Foam Factory with the figures, the number of cushions you plan on making, and whether you intend to make foam-only or fiberfill-wrapped cushions. From there, Foam Factory will determine exactly how much material you need to create your cushions while minimizing scrap.
Measuring the Fit of Your Cushion

Adjusting Measurements

Foam with Fiberfill Wrap: For making a cushion that will be wrapped in fiberfill, every measurement, including those on L and T-cushions, should be rounded up to the nearest 1/4". This also includes measurements that land on quarter, half or whole inch increments. Unlike a foam-only cushion, no other adjustments need to be made after the rounding. Do NOT decrease your measurements because you feel you’ll have to compensate for the fiberfill layer.
These adjusted measurements will be used to create your foam cushion.
