L Shape Back Cushion Covers Made to Measure

Order L shape back cushion covers made to measure for back cushions with a return, corner cut-out or shaped profile. This style is commonly used on corner sofas, fitted bench backs, window seat backs, dining nook seating, kitchen booth seating and bespoke home seating.

An L shaped back cushion needs a cover that follows the shape properly. The inside corner, return section and outer edges all need to line up cleanly. If the cover is too loose, the shaped corner can wrinkle or sag. If it is too tight, the cushion can distort and the seams may pull out of position.

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

Why Choose a Made to Measure L Shape Back Cushion Cover?

L shaped back cushions are awkward because the return section has to sit cleanly against the furniture. A plain rectangular cover will not work properly where the cushion has a corner cut-out or shaped return.

A made to measure L shape back cushion cover helps reduce:

Loose fabric around the inside corner
Baggy return sections
Twisted seams
Poorly aligned shaped edges
Over-tight covers
Cushions pulling out of shape
A cover that looks wrong against fitted seating

In plain English: the corner is where a bad cover gives itself away. Get the L shape right and the whole back cushion looks cleaner.

How to Measure an L Shape 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:

Overall width
Overall height
Return section measurements
Inside corner or cut-out dimensions
Thickness or depth

Measure carefully from edge to edge and avoid compressing the cushion. For L shaped back cushions, double-check the inside corner measurements, as this is where most fit problems start.

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

Fabric, Foam and Finish Options

Choose your fabric and available finish options online. This product includes options for covers only, super-soft back foam, standard medium firm RX36, Vasco 50 memory foam and 100% hollow fibre back cushions. It also includes Dacron, stockinette, cover style, piping, zip position, zip style, fixtures, stitching and pattern matching options.

For L shape back cushions, fabric choice should suit both the look and the use of the seating. A busy kitchen bench or family sofa may need a practical, hard-wearing fabric. A window seat or occasional seating area may allow more freedom with colour, texture or pattern.

Patterned fabrics can look excellent, but shaped back cushion covers are naturally harder to pattern match than plain square cushions. Best possible pattern matching can help improve the finish, but the L shaped profile 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 L shaped back cushion. If the 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 filling has collapsed, softened or become uneven, replacing the cover alone may not give the result you want. A new cover will only look as good as the cushion underneath it. That is the plain truth, not the sales brochure version.

Need Another Shape?

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