How to choose size and material
1) Take measurements
Measure each pillow in width × height × thickness . If you are between two sizes or the pillow is very full, choose the Plus version.
2) Evaluate the shape
For seat cushions, more support is needed on the edges; for the backrest, uniform vertical elasticity is preferred.
3) Material
Choose stretch fabrics that maintain their color and hold over time and adhere evenly.
Installation: Quick Start Guide
- Insert the lining starting from one corner; align the long edge.
- Pull and guide along the edges to ensure it adheres well to the corners.
- Smooth out the folds and hide the excess under the pillow.
Practical insight: with very full cushions, the Plus size makes insertion easier and improves hold over time.
