Equal Sided Taper Seat Cushion Covers Made to Measure

Order equal sided taper seat cushion covers made to measure for seat cushions that narrow evenly from front to back, back to front, or from one side to the other. This shape is commonly used on tapered chair cushions, sofa seats, bench cushions, window seats, dining chairs and fitted home seating.

A tapered seat cushion needs a cover made to follow the angled sides correctly. A standard square or rectangle cover will not sit properly on a cushion that narrows evenly. If the cover is too loose, the angled edges can wrinkle or move. If it is too tight, the cushion can distort and the seams may pull out of line.

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

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

Equal sided taper cushions are not difficult because they are unusual; they are difficult because small measuring errors show quickly. The angled sides need to sit cleanly, the seams need to follow the taper, and the cover needs to hold the cushion shape without pulling it out of line.

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

Loose fabric along the tapered edges
Baggy corners
Twisted seams
Poorly aligned angled sides
Over-tight covers
Cushions pulling out of shape
A cover that looks too square for the cushion underneath

In plain English: if the cushion tapers, the cover has to taper too. No amount of tugging will make a square cover behave itself.

How to Measure an Equal Sided Taper Seat 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:

Front width
Back width
Depth
Thickness
Any relevant side or edge measurements

Measure carefully from edge to edge and avoid compressing the cushion while measuring. With tapered seat cushions, double-check both widths and the depth, as these measurements control how neatly the angled sides will sit.

If the existing foam is flattened, soft, twisted or misshapen, it may be worth replacing the cushion interior as well as the cover.

Fabric, Foam and Finish Options

Choose your fabric and available finish options online. This product includes cover-only and new-interior options, including foam grades, hollow fibre seat cushions and Vasco 50 memory foam. It also includes options for Dacron, stockinette, cover style, piping, zip position, zip style, fixtures, stitching, pattern matching and fabric ordering.

For seat cushions, fabric choice should suit how the cushion will be used. A dining chair, kitchen bench or everyday armchair needs a practical fabric that can cope with regular use. A window seat or occasional chair may allow more freedom with colour, texture or pattern.

Patterned fabrics can work well, but tapered covers are naturally harder to pattern match than plain square cushions. Best possible pattern matching can help improve the finish, but the shape of the cushion still needs to be allowed for.

Covers Only or New Cushion Interiors

This product can be used if you only need a new cover for an existing equal sided taper seat cushion. If the foam still holds its shape and gives good support, a new made to measure cover can be a cost-effective way to refresh the seat.

However, if the foam has gone flat, softened, dipped or become uneven, replacing the cover alone may not give the result you want. The finished cushion will only look as good as the foam underneath it. That is the boring truth, but it saves disappointment.
