1. The Measuring Tool:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The type of tools and equipment that is used to measure a pillow is paramount for the kind of result that you get. That’s because an inappropriate measuring tool will provide a false conclusion and therefore, lead to an ordered pillow that is not compatible with the filing or an oversized pillow cushion that lags.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nWhen measuring a pillow, a firm measuring tape is recommended rather than a foldable or fragile measuring tape. For precise reading and accurate measurement, you should use the carpenter’s measuring tape rather than the tailor’s measuring tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The benefit of using a firm measuring tape is, just because this kind of tape is steady and unwavering to precisely capture the dimensions of the pillow, unlike unsteady and elastic measuring tapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. While Taking Measurement Readings, Always Approximate to the Nearest Whole Number:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
For convenience’s sake, it is advisable always to approximate the measurements or readings that you got from the tape to the nearest whole number. The reasons behind this are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To create adequate allowance when the pillow is being filled with its filings and seamed by the manufacturer that has your order in process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To minimize the risk of errors that arise as a result of raw data reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because most pillow manufacturers always have different sizes of pillows in whole numbers that they stick to with confidence. For example, a 10″ by 10″ size pillow, a 20″ by 20″ size pillow, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Measure the Pillow While it is Fully Stretched Out:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
In measuring a pillow, one of the essential things to note (if you want) is to avert errors and arrive at a correct reading. The most fundamental rationale behind stretching the pillow is to get an accurate dimensional reading.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nIf otherwise measured, that is, if you use a shrunk pillow, the end will be an inaccurate pillow measurement that will be too small for your use or the manufacturer’s production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. With the Firm Measuring Tape on the Floor, Place the Stretched-Out Pillow to Get your Reading:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This step is highly essential for a good pillow measurement. To do this and get an accurate result, place the firm measuring tape on the floor or any flat surface and move over the stretched-out pillow (with the intended dimension) on the surface of the tape, in such a way that you can see the reading on the tape. Then, take your measurements on the dimension of the tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Do Not Measure from the Centre or Diagonally of the Pillow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Most times, customers that want to get a new pillow, place their orders online. Or they go to the store to purchase a brand new pillow-cushion from the store are often faced with the itch of how to measure the dimensions of a cushion and questions such as ‘Should I measure it from the center, top to bottom, diagonally, transversely, crisscross’ often spring up.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nHere are the right answers to such questions. Do not measure the pillow from center to top or bottom, transversely, or diagonally. And also not in a crisscross fashion. Rather, measure the pillow from side to side. That is, from one end or side along its square or rectangular vertex to the other. This way, you’ll get the height and width dimensions of the pillow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Whatever type of pillow<\/a> that you want, be it a small throw-away type. Make sure that it fits your sofa or any class of outdoor furniture to the medium and large ones of your bed, measuring a pillow<\/a> for replacement of an old one will be a natural step or process for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, get abreast with the nitty-gritty of measuring these soft relaxing cushions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n [Discover in-depth information about the weight of pillows<\/a> and how it can impact your sleep quality.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suggested Reading\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
