Bolster Cushion Covers Made to Measure

Order bolster cushion covers made to measure for a clean, fitted finish on round or cylindrical bolster cushions. This shape is commonly used on sofas, beds, benches, daybeds, window seats and decorative home seating.

Bolster cushions may look simple, but they need to be measured correctly. A cover that is too loose can look baggy and twisted. A cover that is too tight can distort the cushion, pull the seams and make the finished cushion look wrong. A made to measure bolster cover gives a neater result because it is produced around your cushion dimensions.

This product is for bolster cushion covers. If you also need a new cushion insert, link to the relevant bolster cushion interior or circular bolster foam cushion interior page.

Why Choose a Made to Measure Bolster Cover?

Bolster cushions have a rounded profile, so the fit needs to be right all the way around the cushion. Unlike a flat square cushion, a poor fit on a bolster can twist, wrinkle or make the end panels look uneven.

A made to measure bolster cushion cover helps reduce:

Loose fabric around the cylinder
Wrinkled or twisted seams
Poorly fitting circular ends
Over-tight covers
Cushions losing their shape
A cheap, unfinished appearance

In plain English: round cushions are not very forgiving. If the cover is wrong, it shows.

How to Measure a Bolster Cushion Cover

Measure the cushion itself rather than the old cover where possible. Old covers can stretch, shrink or lose shape over time.

You will usually need:

Length
Diameter
Circumference, if requested
End shape or finish details, if applicable

Measure across the round end to get the diameter. Measure from end to end to get the length. Do not squash the cushion while measuring, as this can give an inaccurate size.

If the existing bolster is badly flattened, lumpy or misshapen, it may be worth replacing the cushion interior as well as the cover.

Fabric and Finish Options

Choose your fabric and available finish options online. Depending on the product settings, this may include options such as zip position, piping, stitching style or other cover details.

For bolster cushions, the fabric choice can change both the look and practicality of the finished cushion. A decorative bed bolster may need a softer, more stylish fabric, while a bench or daybed bolster may need something more durable for regular use.

Need a New Bolster Interior?

If your existing bolster cushion has lost its shape, a new cover alone may not solve the problem. A tired or flattened cushion interior can still look poor even inside a new made to measure cover.
