Custom Shaped Cushions
At Rofielty, our expert sewing department specializes in creating cushions of any shape and size. For uniquely shaped cushions beyond standard squares and rectangles, we require a template or pattern to ensure we craft exactly what you need.
Measurement Best Practice
Old cushions may become misshapen over years of use and wear. For the most accurate measurements, always measure your existing furniture or space directly rather than using worn cushions as a reference. This ensures your new custom cushion will fit perfectly.
Step-by-Step Measuring Process
Follow these professional steps to accurately measure your custom shaped cushion:
Measure Along the Perimeter
Hold tape close to the surface, move along the edge. Keep tape taut and level for precise results.
Gather Your Tools
You’ll need a soft tape, pen, and paper for measurements. A smartphone is also great for reference photos.
Position for Measurement
Place your shaped cushion (if measuring an existing one) or access your furniture on a flat, level surface to ensure accurate measurements.
Establish Starting Point
Using your tape measure, begin at one edge of the cushion or furniture surface. If there’s a border or edge detail, start at the outermost point.
Accuracy Note
Custom shapes may have slight variations. For best results, provide detailed specs along with a physical template or clear photos showing all angles of your space or furniture.
Record All Measurements
When you reach the other side, document the measurement. Mark both starting and ending positions on your paper and write down the exact values.
Break Down Complex Shapes
Break complex shapes into simple parts. Measure each section, plus the max length and width of the overall irregular form.
Create a Template
For the most accurate results, create a paper or cardboard template of your cushion shape. Trace the outline directly from your furniture or existing cushion, then label all dimensions on the template.
What We Need From You
Accurate data allows us to craft the perfect custom cushion tailored specifically to your needs.
Detailed Measurements
Provide all dimensions including length, width, depth, and any curved or angled sections. More detail ensures better accuracy.
Physical Template
A paper or cardboard cutout of the exact shape provides our team with a precise reference for cutting and sewing.
Reference Photos
Clear photos from multiple angles help us understand your space and any unique features that might affect cushion design.
Special Requirements
