is the cushion one that is ready-made that you just want to be able to remove the cover from or is it one you are making? In the first case, it is kind of difficult to add a zipper to an already put together cushion, depending on its shape. For square or rectangle, measure the length of one seam(for the rectangle, make it a seam on a short side) Buy a zipper about 2" shorter than this measurement. Open the chosen seam carefully, leaving about an inch on each end still sewn shut. Insert the zipper facing up and hand stitch it to the seam allowances of the opening with short, close together running stitches. Be sure to reinforce the top and bottom ends of the zipper with extra rows of stitches. Personally, I would not use a zipper at all in a pre-made cushion, but a thin length of velcro like fastener using fabric glue that is washable.

Do it one of two ways:
(1) Go to the catalog online called The Stitchery-- they have several sizes of ready made cushion covers-- you buy the right size and stitch your pillow top to the cover.
