When deciding to order a custom slipcover, it’s important to measure your items correctly to ensure the best fit possible. Every manufacturer will want you to measure and communicate your findings correctly and accurately, so you receive a slipcover that fits perfectly. We share a comprehensive, step-by-step sizing guide that explains how to measure furniture for an easy ordering experience. Here is a brief description of how to measure for a sofa slipcover.
Custom couch slipcover
When purchasing a custom couch slipcover, go to our website and choose your preferred fabric. Click “Price or Order,” and it will redirect you to an interactive page that will help you find your perfect fit. First, let us know if you have T-shaped or square seat cushions on your couch. Next, tell us what the back of your couch looks like—there are photo examples to make this process easy. After this, you’ll need to select your couch’s arm style. Then, our convenient tool will start to walk you through the measurement process with graphics to help you visualize the measurements needed. Measure all parts in inches—do not round or change actual dimensions. Here is the order to measure in:
- Seat length
- Cushion height
- Base length
- Arm to arm
- Base depth
- Arm depth
- Base height
- Desired skirt height (if any)
- Back overlay
- Arm width at the top
- Arm width at the bottom
- Arm height
- Seat depth
- Back height
- Measure of sofa
- Measure the top to the lowest point of furniture back
- Backing width at the bottom
- Backing height
- Backing width at the top
- Backing height in front
- Width of the back of the sofa
- Floor to top
- Floor to top of the back of the arm
- Floor to top of the front of the arm
- Length of the front of the couch at arm level
While this is a lot of measuring, it is well worth it when your brand new, custom made, perfectly fitting slipcover arrives just a week after ordering. After you complete the measuring process, decide if you want pleats, options for a sleeper, and separate seat cushion covers. Further, let us know if your back cushions are detachable or not. Then upload photos of your couch, and we can handle the rest. We provide many other custom products to match your exact needs. From sofa slipcovers to custom pet bed covers, we have what you need to create a cohesive and attractive environment in your home.
