How do I measure for a Custom Standard Daybed Cover?
This guide explains how to measure your standard daybed for a custom-fitted Kuvr® Outdoor Daybed Cover, including each required measurement, where to take it, and how to record it accurately. There are 3 measurements to take, labelled A to C.
Important
Provide exact measurements with no extra allowance added. Kuvr® adds a standard tolerance of +25 mm (1 in) to the width and depth for a comfortable fit; no allowance is added to the height. You can measure in centimetres, inches, or metres — you choose your preferred unit when you configure the cover.
Please include photos
Photos of your standard daybed, taken from a few angles alongside your measurements, help us understand the exact shape and get your cover right from the outset. Including a tape measure in shot for scale is ideal.
The measurements
A — Total width
Total width is the overall width of the daybed, measured straight across the widest point from side to side. Include any arms or side panels, and take the measurement from above.
B — Total depth
Total depth is the overall depth of the daybed, measured from the front edge straight back to the rear at the deepest point.
C — Total height
Total height is the vertical distance from the floor to the highest point of the daybed, usually the top of the backrest. Keep the tape straight and measure with the daybed on level ground.
Frequently asked questions
Should I measure with the cushions and mattress in place?
Measure the daybed as it will sit under the cover, with the mattress in place. Remove loose scatter cushions before measuring, or note them, so the cover is cut to the daybed's true profile.
What if my daybed is not a standard shape?
Measure the closest shape shown here — standard, square, round, or round with canopy — and send photos. We confirm the exact pattern from your measurements and images before cutting.
Should I measure the daybed or my old cover?
Measure the daybed itself, with any existing cover removed. Measuring over an old cover adds thickness and gives an oversized result.
