One photograph at a time, the masters read what a made-to-measure cushion is doing: its proportion, the line of the piping, the fabric against the light, and the questions that come up before cutting one like it.
What measurements do you need to make a cover for my daybed mattress?
The workshop's answer
The mattress's overall length x width x height, in inches or centimeters. If two mattresses stack inside one cover, give their combined thickness. For IKEA beds the workshop also asks which mattress model you have, to check its real thickness. The cover size comes first; backrests and armrests are then sized to match it.
Yes. Send every edge length, meaning the long side, the short side and the angled sides, plus any cut-ins and the depth, and draw the shape on paper. The tailor prices it from the drawing and sends a custom order link.
The cover looks warmer and more tan than the fabric chart. What can you do?
The workshop's answer
The workshop checks its production records to confirm the fabric code. Chart scans tend to push warm neutrals cooler and warm indoor light brings the warmth out, so compare in daylight by a window. It offered a physical swatch, then a replacement cover in any other fabric at production cost, keeping the foam you already have.
