How do I calculate how much fabric I need for a cushion?
Measure the height of the cushion if you are covering a box cushion. Multiply the width of the cushion by two and the depth of the cushion by two, and add those numbers together to figure out how much fabric you will need to make the sides, front and back of the box cushion. Add 2 inches for seam allowances.
How do you measure yards for cushions?
Start by measuring the length and width of an individual cushion from the furniture piece. Multiply the length by two to account for both the cushion’s top and bottom faces, and add an inch to the length and width to account for the seams.
What size should a cushion cover be?
Expert tip: always choose a cushion pad that’s the same size or one size bigger than your cushion cover to ensure extra plumpness and comfort. Never go for a cushion pad smaller than your cover as you’ll end up with empty corners where there’s no filling – overstuffed looks and feels much better.

Estimate an additional 1.5 yards of fabric per cushion for a sofa with more than two cushions — so a 7-foot-long, 6-cushion sofa would require around 20 yards of fabric.
How many yards of fabric do I need for a cushion?
Measure the couch or chair cushion’s width and length seam-to-seam. Don’t forget to calculate the measurements for the cushion side panels.
