How do I choose sofa cushion covers?
The sizes are key to how many you can have There are no hard and fast rules, but your safest bet is to stick with two or three cushions for a two-seater sofa and double that for a three-seater. Naturally, this depends on the sizes of both the cushions and sofa, so don’t be afraid to experiment!
How do you choose cushion insert size?
Expert tip: always choose a cushion pad that’s the same size or one size bigger than your cushion cover to ensure extra plumpness and comfort. Never go for a cushion pad smaller than your cover as you’ll end up with empty corners where there’s no filling – overstuffed looks and feels much better.

20×20
We generally recommend using inserts that are 2″ larger all around than your finished pillow size. For example if you have an 18×18 pillow cover, you’ll want to use a 20×20 insert.
