As a cat owner, ensuring that your furnishings are well protected from your feline’s fearsome claws is a must. Fortunately, there are plenty of simple solutions that help make this possible, such as investing in a protector for the edges of your sofa, such as a premium Cat-e-Corner. However, fitting these to your sofa isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, and as such, it’s important to be aware of whether or not you’ll need solid wood risers for your Cat-e-Corner.
Fortunately, this isn’t a tricky question to answer, and we’re looking today at some of the key things you need to know to help you decide whether you need solid wood risers for your own Cat-e-Corner.
How Can I Tell If I Need Solid Wood Risers for my Cat-e-Corner?
Determining whether your Cat-e-Corner needs wood risers is simple. All you need is a measuring tape and a few minutes.
Step 1: Measure your sofa’s arm height
-
Measure the distance from the floor to the top of your sofa arm.
-
Pull the tape tight for an accurate reading.
Step 2: Compare your measurement to the Cat-e-Corner height range
-
If your sofa’s arm measures between 22.5 and 25 inches (57–63.5 cm), you’re in luck! Your Cat-e-Corner will fit perfectly without any risers.
-
If it’s between 25 and 27 inches (63.5–68.5 cm), add 2-inch solid wood risers for a snug, level fit.
-
For sofa arms taller than that, choose 4-inch risers to ensure proper alignment.
This small adjustment keeps your Cat-e-Corner stable, flush, and fully functional, both for your cat’s comfort and your furniture’s protection.

How Wood Risers Improve the Cat-e-Corner Experience
A properly fitted Cat-e-Corner not only looks better, it performs better. When you use solid wood risers, your cat’s scratching post stays firmly put, avoiding any wobbling or moving. This stability leads to a more satisfying scratch for your cat, simultaneously protecting your sofa from accidental damage.
Not to mention, with a sturdy, elevated setup, the Cat-e-Corner stays at the ideal height for your cat’s natural scratching motion, helping maintain healthy claws and preventing damage to furniture corners.
