Equal Sided Taper Back Cushion Covers Made to Measure

Order equal sided taper back cushion covers made to measure for back cushions that narrow evenly from one side to the other. This shape is commonly used on tapered sofa backs, bench backs, window seat backs, dining nook seating and fitted home seating where a standard square or rectangle cover will not follow the cushion shape correctly.

An equal sided taper back cushion needs a cover made to match the angled sides properly. If the cover is too loose, the tapered edges can wrinkle or twist. If it is too tight, the cushion can distort and the seams may pull out of position. A made to measure taper back cushion cover gives a cleaner, neater fit because it is produced around your chosen dimensions.

This product is for equal sided taper back cushion covers. If your cushion is a seat cushion, square, rectangle, L shape, T shape or wedge shape, choose the matching shaped cushion cover page instead.

Why Choose a Made to Measure Equal Sided Taper Back Cushion Cover?

Tapered back cushions are less forgiving than plain rectangular cushions. The angled sides need to line up cleanly, and the cover needs to sit evenly across the cushion face. A standard rectangular cover will not work properly on a cushion that narrows evenly.

A made to measure equal sided taper back cushion cover helps reduce:

Loose fabric along the angled sides
Baggy tapered corners
Twisted seams
Poorly aligned taper lines
Over-tight covers
Cushions pulling out of shape
A cover that looks wrong on fitted seating

In plain English: once the sides are angled, guesswork is a mug’s game. The cover has to follow the shape.

How to Measure an Equal Sided Taper Back 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 the measurements shown on the product diagram, including:

Top width
Bottom width
Height
Thickness or depth
Any relevant edge or border measurements

Measure carefully from edge to edge and avoid compressing the cushion. For tapered back cushions, double-check both widths and the height, as small errors can make the angled sides sit incorrectly.

If the existing cushion interior is flat, lumpy or misshapen, a new cover may improve the appearance, but a new interior may give a better finished result.

Fabric and Finish Options

Choose your fabric and available finish options online. This product includes options such as cover-only or new filling, foam grade, fibre filling, Dacron, stockinette, cover style, piping, zip position, zip style, fixtures, stitching and pattern matching.

For equal sided taper back cushions, plain fabrics are usually more forgiving because the angled sides are easier to keep visually clean. Patterned fabrics can still work well, but shaped cushion covers may make pattern matching more difficult, especially where the taper changes the line of the fabric.

If you are ordering matching seat and back cushion covers, it is usually best to order them together so the fabric, colour and finish remain consistent.

Covers Only or New Cushion Interiors

This product can be used if you only need a new cover for an existing equal sided taper back cushion. If the current cushion interior is still comfortable, supportive and holding its shape, a replacement cover can be a practical way to refresh the seating.

However, if the cushion has collapsed, softened or become uneven, replacing the cover alone may not give the result you want. The finished back cushion will only look as good as the interior underneath it.

The page also allows customers to choose cover-only or filling options, including super-soft back foam, standard medium firm RX36, Vasco 50 memory foam and 100% hollow fibre back cushions.

Need Another Shape?

If your back cushion is not an equal sided taper, choose the correct shaped cover page. This helps ensure the cover is made to suit the actual cushion profile.
