Square & Rectangle Back Cushion Covers Made to Measure

Order square and rectangle back cushion covers made to measure for a clean, fitted finish on sofa backs, bench backs, window seat backs, dining nook cushions and loose back cushions around the home.

Back cushions do a different job from seat cushions. They are not just there to look tidy; they also affect comfort, posture and how finished the furniture looks. A loose or badly fitted back cushion cover can make the whole seating area look tired, even when the seat cushions are still in good condition.

This product is for square and rectangular back cushion covers. If you need a matching seat cushion cover, use the relevant square / rectangle seat cushion cover page instead.

Why Choose a Made to Measure Back Cushion Cover?

Back cushions are often softer and more flexible than seat cushions, especially when filled with fibre or feather. That makes accurate cover sizing important. If the cover is too large, the cushion can look flat and saggy. If it is too tight, the filling can bunch up and feel uncomfortable.

A made to measure square or rectangle back cushion cover helps reduce:

Loose, baggy fabric
Flattened-looking back cushions
Twisted seams
Poor corner shape
Covers pulling too tightly across the face
A tired, slumped appearance

In plain English: back cushions are meant to support you, not look like they have given up.

How to Measure a Square or Rectangle 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:

Width
Height
Thickness or depth

For back cushions, measure carefully without squashing the cushion. If the cushion is soft, feather-filled or fibre-filled, take your measurements from seam to seam and keep the cushion in its natural shape.

If the filling has collapsed, clumped or become uneven, a new cover may improve the look, but a new cushion interior may give a better long-term result.

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, fixtures or pattern matching.

For back cushions, fabric choice can change the character of the furniture. A plain fabric gives a clean, simple finish. A textured or patterned fabric can add warmth and interest, especially on window seats, benches and dining nook seating.

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

Covers Only or New Cushion Interiors

This product is suitable if you only need a new cover for an existing square or rectangular back cushion. If the current cushion interior is still plump, supportive and comfortable, replacing the cover can be a cost-effective refresh.

However, if the cushion has gone flat, lumpy or misshapen, it may be better to replace the interior as well as the cover. A smart new cover will only look as good as the filling underneath it. No point putting a dinner jacket on a scarecrow.
