How to Measure Boat & RV Cushions
Boat and RV cushions are rarely simple rectangles, so the safest way to measure them is the template method: lay paper or cardboard over the base, trace the exact outline including every curve and angled corner, then measure the straight sections and note the thickness. Cut the template out, label it, and enter those dimensions in the customizer — or send us a photo of the template — for an exact-fit cushion.

Boat & RV cushions — answered
Why use a template instead of just a tape measure?
Boat and RV cushions have curves, tapers and angled corners that a tape cannot capture accurately. Tracing the outline onto paper or cardboard records the true shape, so the finished cushion fits the base exactly instead of leaving gaps.
How thick should boat and RV cushions be?
Dinette and cockpit seating feels best with 3 to 4 inches of foam, while berths and sleeping cushions use 4 to 5 inches for comfort. You choose the exact thickness in the customizer, and for wet areas you can select quick-drying outdoor foam.
What foam is best for a cockpit that gets wet?
Choose a quick-drying reticulated outdoor foam. Its open structure lets spray and rain drain straight through instead of soaking in, which reduces mildew and helps cockpit cushions dry between uses.
How long does it take and do you ship to me?
Each cushion is made to order and shipped worldwide with free, tracked delivery — you will see the current lead time at checkout. If the fit is not right, our 14-day perfect-fit guarantee means we remake it.
Can you match cushions for an older or discontinued boat?
Yes. Because each cushion is cut to your template and measurements, we can rebuild a full set for an older boat or camper that no longer has parts available. Send photos of your templates and we will confirm the sizes.
