How To Measure For Corner Cushion

Corner pet beds are shaped like a quarter circle to fit snugly into 90° room corners. Because the shape is symmetrical, you only need one dimension — the Width/Length — plus your chosen thickness.

Step 1 — Start here

Choose the cushion thickness

Select a thickness between 2 and 5 inches. Thicker options (4 to 5 inches) provide better insulation from cold floors and more joint support for older or larger pets.

Step 2

Calculate the width / length

The Width and Length are the same number — it is the distance the bed extends along each wall from the corner. Calculate it from your pet's body length rather than measuring an existing bed.

Width / Length = Pet's length (nose to tail) + 8" to 12"

How much to add depends on sleeping style

If your pet curls up tightly, add 8". If they stretch out when sleeping, add 12". When in doubt, size up.

Example: A cat that measures 18" nose to tail and curls up → order a 26" width/length. The bed will extend 26" along each wall from the corner.

Step 3 — Before ordering

Check your room corner

Measure the actual wall space in your chosen corner. Make sure the size you calculated fits without blocking outlets, vents, or doorways. The bed extends the same distance along both walls, so check both directions.

Measuring tips

Round to the nearest 1"

Corner pet beds are made in 1" increments. Round your calculated width/length to the nearest whole inch before entering it at checkout.

Width/Length is the radius

In geometric terms, the dimension you are ordering is the radius of the full circle — not the diameter. The curved edge of the bed is the arc of that circle.

Use a rigid tape measure

Measure from the corner of the room outward along the wall to your target distance. A steel tape stays straight and gives you an accurate wall clearance check.

Size up if unsure

A bed that is slightly larger than calculated is always better than one that is too small. If your number lands between sizes, choose the larger option.
