Measuring Guide for Fibre Back Cushion ReplacementsFibre back cushions need to be oversized to fill out the cover properly. This guide explains how to take accurate measurements and get the right fit when ordering replacements.🪑 Replacing Fibre Back Cushions?They need more fill than you thinkFibre compresses very easily. If you order a cushion to the exact size of your cover, you’ll end up with something flat, baggy, and uncomfortable. To get a full, supportive cushion that sits right, it needs to be made larger than the cover’s actual size.📏 How to MeasureAdd 5cm to both directionsLay the empty cushion cover flat and measure:Side to side (width) Top to bottom (height)Measure seam to seam internally. Then add 5cm to both measurements when ordering. This gives us enough material to fill out the shape properly and avoids that underfilled, saggy look.Example:If your cover measures 60cm wide x 50cm high, order a 65cm x 55cm fibre cushion.📐 What About the Depth and Shape?We calculate the crown height for youBack cushions don’t usually have a thick border like seat cushions. Most are single-chambered with a flat stitched edge. However, fibre still needs a raised centre – what we call the crown – to give it shape and support.You don’t need to calculate this. Once we know your cover measurements, we work out the correct crown height based on the type of cushion, its purpose, and the fill required. This means your cushion will sit full and upright, not flat or baggy.🧼 Daily Plumping RequiredIt’s part of the dealFibre back cushions will go flat without daily attention. They need to be plumped up regularly to hold their shape and keep their crown. If you want something lower maintenance, we’d recommend looking at foam or feather alternatives.📦 Send Us Your CoversWe’ll fill them for a perfect fitFor the most accurate result, send us your empty covers after placing the order.
