What about measuring the cushions?
In case of box cushions, you don't have to measure them. You just need to know how many you have.
In case of t-cushions, you need to measure the length of the bottom of the cushions. (This is the dimension when you look down the sofa from one arm to the other.)
Sofa:
1. Single cushion (up to 80" long including the t-bit)
2. Two cushions (up to 40" long including the t-bit)
3. Three cushions (up to 25" long including the t-bit)
Loveseat:
1. Single cushion (up to 48" long including the t-bit)
2. Two cushions (up to 25" long including the t-bit)
If the cushions are larger than the above dimensions, there's a chance the covers won't work with the t-bit well.
The top cushions with cutouts (like diamondback cushions or top t-cushions) have less constraints.
How does the Slipcover set handle different cushion shapes?
It's a stretch slipcover and it does it's job well with all kinds of cushion shapes. There are limits, of course.
