Box Cushions

Box Cushion Image
Unit of Measure inches cm
A. Finished Width (?)
Intended width of finished cushion. Foam or filler should be oversized by 1% or a minimum of 1/2 inch (1.3 cm). Thus, the foam width will be at least 1/2 inch greater than this measurement and, for wider cushions, 1% of length greater.
B. Finished Length (?)
Intended length of finished cushion. Foam or filler should be oversized by 1% or a minimum of 1/2 inch (1.3 cm). Thus, the foam length will be at least 1/2 inch greater than this measurement and, for longer cushions, 1% of length greater.
Decimals!
C. Thickness (?)
Foam or filler thickness without compression.
Decimals!
Quantity (?)
Total number of cushions needed with these dimensions.
Integer!
Fabric Width (?)
Useable fabric width -- sometimes called nominal width (often 46, 54, or 60 inches -- 116.8, 137.2, and 152.4 cm)
Numbers!
Include in Rendition: (?)
The "Full Cover" means you will use the fabric for the top plate, the bottom plate and the boxing on the sides of the cushion. The "Plate and Boxing" means you will use the fabric for the top plate and the boxing on the sides. “One Plate” is only the bottom plate fabric of the cushion.
Full Cover Plate & Boxing One Plate
Select Fabric Style: (?)
"Vertical Pattern" will run boxing and measurement "B" across the fabric width while "Horizontal Pattern" will run boxing and measurement "B" down the fabric length. "No Pattern" will select plate orientation and run boxing strips to reduce the fabric needed.
