To measure a couch cushion, you need to determine its width and length, adding a small allowance to each measurement.
Steps to Measure a Couch Cushion:
Here's a breakdown of how to accurately measure your couch cushion:
- Measure the Width: Place your measuring tape across the front of the cushion, going from one edge to the other, as shown in the video reference. This is the width across the face of the cushion.
- Add an Allowance: The reference suggests adding 1/2 inch to the width measurement for a more comfortable fit.
- Measure the Length: Now, measure the length of the cushion, from the front to the back.
- Add an Allowance: Again, add 1/2 inch to the length measurement.
Summary of Measurements
| Measurement | How to Measure | Allowance |
|---|---|---|
| Width | Across the front of the cushion from seam to seam | + 1/2 inch |
| Length | From front to back of the cushion | + 1/2 inch |
By following these steps, you'll get accurate measurements for your couch cushions.
