To get the most accurate measurements for your clipped bolster cushions, it is best to use your existing cushion covers where possible. Your old clipped bolster cushion foam may have become misshapen and not provide accurate measurements.
Carefully measure your existing clipped bolster cushions and enter the size in mm, cm or inches following the directions on the foam shape. If you need further help then take a look at our step by step guide on how to measure your clipped bolster cushion foam below.

Our most popular foams - suitable for most purposes
Standard
Our Standard foam is ideal for all types of use but we recommend it for more occasional use. A medium density, high resilient, multi-purpose foam which can be used in a variety of applications including: dining chairs, day beds, window seating, garden furniture cushions, headboards and most general uses.
Premium
The Premium foam range is designed for everyday use and represents excellent value for money. As with all our comfort foams, it’s available in soft, medium or firm depending on the level of comfort you require. This is equivalent of most other companies' top grade of foam and offers great quality and lifespan. Our Premium foam range is our recommended grade of foam for sofa cushion replacement.
Luxury
A top quality foam not offered by most other companies, our Luxury foam is simply the best available in the UK for upholstery, soft furnishing and bedding/mattress requirements. It offers supreme comfort and longevity - even after several years of use, we expect this range of foam to be very similar in look and feel to the day that it was bought. We recommend our Luxury foam range for cushion replacement due to the longevity and comfort it provides.
Recycled
Our firm durable recycled foam is the perfect choice when you need a budget foam. It is particularly good for bar stools, gym use, church pews etc.

Packaging
This high impact, lightweight packaging foam is suitable for all kinds of protective packaging requirements including flight suitcases, briefcases and cardboard boxes. Please note that this foam is not fire retardant and therefore not suitable for upholstery.
Reticulated
Reticulated foam lets the moisture and liquid pass through leaving the surface dry to touch and gives a firm supportive seat. This type of foam is perfect for outdoor use such as garden furniture and deck cushions and mattresses.
SOFT
With a super soft feel, this quality foam is suitable for occasional use furniture. It is mainly used for back cushions but if you are looking for something very soft for other types of cushions then this is the best option. Not suitable for any seating cushions.
MEDIUM
Our standard medium foam is great for all seating and is widely used in the soft furnishings industry. We recommend the medium option if your cushions are thicker than 7.5cm (3 inches).
FIRM
Much like the standard medium foam, this foam is widely used across the industry. It can feel quite firm as the depth increases so we recommend this option when your cushions are less than 7.5cm (3 inches) thick. This standard foam is suitable for all manner of seating including window seats or dining chair pads.
Premium Foam
SOFT
A very soft foam, its sumptuous feel allows you to sink into the cushion and its quality means that it will always spring back quickly to its original shape. Suitable for most sofa cushions and mattresses.
MEDIUM
Just like the soft grade of foam, the ultimate medium foam is widely used for cushions and mattresses. It provides slightly more support than the soft option so for this reason it is our most popular choice and it is what we recommend for caravans, motor homes and campervans.
FIRM
This is the firmest foam option and provides a very firm level of comfort. It can be used for sofa cushions and mattresses. So if you prefer a firmer cushion and want unrivalled longevity then this is the option to choose.
Luxury Foam
SOFT
Our luxury soft foam is great for all seating if you require a softer level of comfort. The foam is designed to withstand regular daily use so it will keep its shape and comfort for many years. It’s also excellent for mattresses and sofa beds, offering a medium/soft feel.
MEDIUM
The luxury medium foam offers a bit more support than our luxury soft option. It will last longer than the standard foam and is designed for daily use so suitable for most sofas and chairs. It is excellent for all mattresses and is our recommended foam for sofa cushion replacement.
FIRM
The luxury firm foam provides a very firm cushion so if you require lots of support then this is the best option to choose. It’s perfect for raising cushions and we recommend it for window seats and bench cushions that are 7.5cm thick or less. And with unrivalled quality, it lasts longer than the standard foam.
BACK
Our ultimate back foam is most suitable for the backs on your sofa and has a medium/soft feel. And because the backs are not weight bearing, this is where you want the comfort to be.
Optional Extras more info?
Stockinette
We strongly advise the use of stockinette undercovers. The stockinette goes over the foam cushion to reduce friction between the foam and the cushion cover, therefore allowing the cushion to regain its original shape. They also facilitate easy removal and insertion of your new covers and will also help to prevent unsightly creasing of cushion covers.
Fibre Wrap
To further enhance the appearance of your cushions, we can cover your foam cushion with a polyester fibre wrap. This is bonded to the cushion to give the cushion a softer, rounder look. We use a fibre wrap on nearly all cushion replacement as it gives the cushion a more rounded look to them and gives a fantastic finish when fitted inside your cover.

HOW TO MEASURE YOUR CLIPPED BOLSTER CUSHION
Firstly, measure along the clipped bolster cover seams from corner to corner, making sure that you pull the cushion cover taught to get the best fit. Ideally, you should measure the back and front of each cover as measurements may vary between sides.
Next, measure the depth of your cushion, measuring from seam to seam. If the cushion cover is piped, measure between the piping. The clipped bolster cushion foam you order should be the size of the cover’s border width. Please factor in a fibre wrap finish which will add approximately 1cm to the top and bottom of your cushion. Do not measure across the middle of the cushion as it may be curved and compromise your measurements.
Lastly, input your measurements making sure you choose the measurements you have used millimetres, centimetres or inches.
