Can I get replacement covers in custom sizes for my own floor sofa?
Also asked as:Can you alter the sizing by a few inches?Just the covers, not the whole couch
Covers-only is a sizing job, not a sofa job. Give the workshop three numbers per foam piece and how the seat is stacked, and the cover follows the foam.
SaveThe quick answer
Yes, floor sofa replacement covers are made in custom sizes through the covers-only listing. The standard seat cover is 78.5 x 39 x 7 in (199 x 99 x 18 cm), and sets have been cut at 80 x 39 x 8 in (203 x 99 x 20 cm) instead. Send each foam piece's exact size and say whether your seat is one tall mattress or two stacked.

Send the numbers in inches: length × depth × thickness, plus any angle. The workshop checks them with you, because foam has no undo button. — Nate

One tall mattress or two stacked: the question that comes first
A cover is a box with a fixed wall height. Get that wall wrong and the cover either sags or refuses to zip. That is why, before a single replacement cover is cut, the workshop asks how your seat is built: one tall mattress, or two stacked.
A buyer in the US with a vintage teddy-style sofa had two 7 in (18 cm) mattresses. The seat covers here run 6.5-7 in (16.5-18 cm) each, so two standard covers fit the stack as built.
Everything else is three honest numbers per piece. If your foam reads 80 x 39 x 8 in (203 x 99 x 20 cm) instead of the standard 78.5 x 39 x 7 in, that is the cover you order. Tolerance is kindness to your future self, so measure every piece, not just the first one.
The modular floor sofa sets show the standard layouts; the replacement cover Pattern and covers for existing foam cover the rest. What does your seat foam read at the front edge, partner?
Ordering covers for foam you already own
Let the foam settle, then measure
If it arrived vacuum-packed, give it 36-48 hours to expand. Then write length x depth x thickness for every piece, with the unit on each number.
Say how the seat is stacked
One tall mattress or two stacked ones. Seat covers run 6.5-7 in (16.5-18 cm) thick each.
List the backrests separately
Give each back's size, such as 40 x 39 x 15 in (102 x 99 x 38 cm), and say whether they are L-shaped.
Order through the covers-only listing
Write your sizes in the order. The covers are cut to those numbers, not to the standard set.
Pick the fabric family
Two stacked 7 in floor sofa mattresses take two 7 in seat covers, so say how the seat is built before any replacement cover is cut.

Buyer questions
- A common question
Can you change the sizes of the replacement floor sofa covers? And do you have an olive green corduroy?
The workshop's answerYes. The set was resized to two floor seat covers of 78 x 36 x 6.5 in (198 x 91 x 16.5 cm) and two L-shaped backrest covers of 39 x 36 x 15 in (99 x 91 x 38 cm). The corduroy range has no true olive or moss green; the closest is Water Green, and other fabric families are open too.
- A common question
Could the teddy covers be a few inches bigger so they fit the sofa I already own?
The workshop's answerYes. Against the standard 78.5 x 39 x 7 in (199 x 99 x 18 cm) mattress cover, the workshop made 80 x 39 x 8 in (203 x 99 x 20 cm) mattress covers and 40 x 39 x 15 in (102 x 99 x 38 cm) backrest covers, ordered through the covers-only listing.
- A common question
My vintage teddy-style sofa has different measurements. Can you make covers to fit it?
The workshop's answerYes, covers can be customized. The workshop first asked how the seat was built, one tall mattress or two stacked. Its seat covers are 6.5-7 in (16.5-18 cm) thick each, which matched the buyer's two 7 in (18 cm) mattresses.
- A common question
I have two 31.5 x 79 in (80 x 200 cm) mattresses. Can you make covers to turn them into a floor sofa?
The workshop's answerYes. Covers are made to the exact size, here 31.5 x 79 x 8 in (80 x 200 x 20 cm) in corduroy, and two L-shaped foam-filled back pillows were quoted with them as one all-included price.
Questions buyers ask next
Do I have to buy a whole floor sofa to get new covers?
No. Covers are sold on their own through the covers-only listing. Write the size of each piece in your order, seat mattresses and backrests separately, and the covers are cut to those numbers rather than to the standard set.
How long should new foam rest before I measure it for covers?
If the foam arrived vacuum-packed, give it 36-48 hours to expand fully before you put a tape on it. Compressed foam reads short on thickness, and a cover cut to that number would come out too shallow.
Can replacement covers come in a different fabric from my original sofa?
Yes. Any fabric family can be chosen for a covers-only order. If the exact color you want is missing from one range, as olive is in corduroy, where the closest is Water Green, another fabric family can be used instead.
