Use The Right Tools
For the most accurate results, we recommend using a rigid measuring tool such as a carpenter's tape measure or a measuring stick. Avoid using 'soft' measuring tools such as tailor's tape.

Round Your Measurements
Your width and height measurements should be rounded up or rounded down to the nearest 1 inch as the bolster pillow dimensions on our site can be adjusted in 1 inch increments.
