What measurements do we need for the perfect fitted cover?

If you love the idea of refreshing your home without replacing your furniture, fitted sofa covers are the perfect solution. At Cover My Furniture, we make it easy to give your settee or chair a brand-new look, all while keeping the comfort you already love.

You might be thinking, how do they make bespoke settee covers for a sofa they’ve never seen? The answer is simple – we use your current covers as a template, so every detail is made to measure! From choosing your fabric to enjoying your transformed sofa, here’s exactly how the process works and how you can get started!

Step 1: Choose your fabric

This is where the fun begins! We’ve carefully curated a collection of fabrics that we’d be proud to have in our own homes. Whether you’re drawn to the soft feel of Everyday Velvet or the timeless charm of Luxury Cotton Weave, there’s something for every style and space.

To make it even easier, you can build your own free sample pack with up to five fabrics. Having them in your own home lets you see how the colours look in natural light and against your décor, so you can feel confident in your choice before placing your order on our website.

Step 2: Share a few photos

After you’ve chosen your fabric and placed your order, we’ll ask you to send us some quick photos of your sofa or chair. Don’t worry – you don’t need to be a professional photographer. Just a few clear snaps from different angles are enough.

This step is really important because it comes before any measurements are taken. We need to take a quick look at your furniture and current covers to ensure that your sofa or chair is suitable for our fitted sofa covers. This will allow us to identify any details or tricky areas before production begins. This helps avoid any issues later and ensures your new cover will fit perfectly.

We provide easy-to-follow photo tips so you’ll know exactly what we need. It only takes a few minutes, and once it’s done, we can move on to measurements with confidence, knowing your furniture is ready for its makeover.

Step 3: Send us your covers and measurements

Once your production slot is confirmed, it’s time to send your current covers to us. These covers are the blueprint for your new fitted cover, so they’re absolutely essential – we’ll use every detail to recreate the perfect fit in your chosen fabric.

Alongside your settee covers, we’ll also ask for just four simple measurements: overall width, overall depth, seat depth, and seat height. These are quick to take, but they play a crucial role in ensuring your new covers fit perfectly and look flawless once they’re on your sofa or chair.

We know that taking measurements can feel a little intimidating at first, but don’t worry – we’ve made it as simple as possible. You’ll have our handy guide to help and our chart to fill in, plus a clear, step-by-step guide with tips to make measuring stress-free. Even if you’re new to this, it only takes a few minutes, and it ensures we have all the information we need to create a cover that fits like it was made just for your furniture – because it is!

Sit back, relax and wait!

Once your settee covers and measurements reach us, our talented team of makers will get to work using them as the blueprint to craft your brand-new covers in your chosen fabric. Every stitch, seam, and detail is carefully recreated to ensure a perfect fit and a beautiful finish. When the covers are ready, we’ll send them straight back to you for fitting – and in just a few minutes, your sofa or chair will look completely refreshed, with a new lease of life that feels effortless and stylish!

It’s a simple, stress-free process designed to breathe new life into your furniture. You’ll love how easy it is to give your furniture a fresh, luxurious makeover without the need to go out and buy a new sofa or chair.
