How To Measure For A Couch Cover

There are a few things to keep in mind when measuring for a couch cover. First, you'll need to know the overall length, width, and height of your couch. You'll also need to take into account the shape of your couch and any special features, such as arms or a chaise lounge. Once you have all of these measurements, you can follow these steps to measure for a couch cover:

1. Measure the length of your couch from one end to the other. This will be the overall length of your couch cover.

2. Measure the width of your couch from one side to the other. This will be the overall width of your couch cover.

3. Measure the height of your couch from the floor to the top of the back cushions. This will be the overall height of your couch cover.

4. If your couch has arms, measure the length of each arm from the top of the arm to the bottom. This will be the length of the arm covers.

5. If your couch has a chaise lounge, measure the length of the chaise lounge from the end of the chaise lounge to the back of the couch. This will be the length of the chaise lounge cover.

Once you have all of these measurements, you can add a few inches to each measurement to allow for overlap and shrinkage. Then, you can use these measurements to order a couch cover that will fit your couch perfectly.

Here are some additional tips for measuring for a couch cover:

If you're not sure about any of the measurements, it's always better to err on the side of caution and order a couch cover that is slightly too large. You can always make a couch cover smaller, but it's much more difficult to make a couch cover larger.
If you have a couch with an unusual shape, you may need to purchase a custom-made couch cover. Custom-made couch covers are typically more expensive than standard couch covers, but they will fit your couch perfectly.
Once you have your couch cover, be sure to wash it according to the care instructions. This will help to prevent the couch cover from shrinking or fading.

Measuring for a couch cover is a simple process that only takes a few minutes. By following these steps, you can ensure that you order a couch cover that will fit your couch perfectly.
