You may wonder sometimes if your sofa is long, wide, short, or slim enough to fit our covers. You may even think that the measurements are just right, you order the cover and then, the big disappointment! It is a bit like buying a new dress or a new pair of trousers. They look just the right fit and when you try them on… well, we have all been there! So that is why we would like you to measure your sofa. Ideally, before you order your cover. It sounds like a bother but believes us, you will not regret it.
We think it is the easiest to measure your sofa in a few simple steps.
STEP 1 – WIDTH
Measure the length of your sofa. This is the total width of your piece of furniture at its widest point, including any armrests. Keep the measuring tape close to the furniture. Make sure the measuring tape starts where the sofa is, maybe a friend could hold it in place for you?
STEP 2 – DEPTH
The side of the sofa. Measure the length of the arms. This is the total depth of your furniture, including cushions.
STEP 3 – HEIGHT
The back. This is the total height, measured from the floor, including pillows.
Ikea Sofa Covers – measure your Sofa step by step
To get the perfect fit, start by measuring your sofa carefully from edge to edge. Measure the width across the front, the depth from front to back, and the height from the floor to the top of the backrest. Don’t forget to include the armrests in your measurements, as they can significantly affect how the cover fits. Taking precise measurements ensures that Ikea Sofa Covers are tailored correctly and won’t look too loose or too tight once applied.
Pay attention to shape and key details
Beyond basic dimensions, it’s important to consider the shape and structure of your sofa. Check whether your sofa has square or rounded arms, loose or fixed cushions, and how the back is constructed. These details influence how the custom cover is designed and how it will sit on your furniture. By accounting for these elements, you can confidently choose the best couch covers that match both the dimensions and the specific style of your sofa, ensuring a clean, professional finish.
