Measuring Instructions
Follow these instructions before beginning
Only Measure the material while it is still in the frame and fully stretched out.
All slings are made to your specifications. Since they are custom made so they cannot be returned. If an error occurs in measuring we may be able to reuse the existing piece of material, however shipping charges and handling will apply. We recommend measuring twice and use an extremely flexible tape for the length to follow the contour of the chair. We sew in ¼” increments and only make rectangular or square slings. It is helpful to draw a rectangle representing the sling on paper to record your measurements. At any point if you are unsure don’t hesitate to call for advice.
1 Piece Chair or Ottoman
Measure Top & Bottom Width
1) Locate the channels on each side of the furniture running top to bottom which the material slides into.
2) Sometimes a chair is a little wider at the very top or bottom so take these measurements 3” from the top and bottom. Measure from center of one channel to the other rounding to the nearest ¼”. It’s better to round the measurement wider than skinnier. Record the size.
3) Double check your measurement. We only sew rectangular slings.
Measure Length
1) It is best to use a skinny very flexible tape for the length because of the curves.
2) Start at the top and follow the contour of the furniture to the bottom. Be sure to press the tape tightly against the contour and follow the flow of the furniture. Record the size rounding to the nearest ¼”. Round longer than shorter.
3) Double check your measurement.

Note the seat area may be wider than the backrest. 2 Separate measurements are required which are the backrest and seat.
