Slip Cover Sofa

The cover fits snuggly over the sofa to keep the couch from absorbing bodily odors, sweat, or from becoming stained by pets, kids, or accidental spills.  Some consumers buy a cover to protect a couch and keep it in good condition while others buy a cover so that they can instantly change up the look of the living room, den, or alternative room where a couch is placed.  Covers offer money saving advantages too.

Sofa Slip Covers – Features

The diversity of a slip cover’s features is just one of the advantages of using one.  You can get covers that are skirted, that have decorative and functional ties, or that are made of pet friendly fabric.  You can also find covers that have a country, modern, transitional, traditional, or casual style, thereby making it easy to match the cover to your existing décor.  Finding the right size cover can be tricky however, and this can prove to be a disadvantage.  A sofa cover may have different shapes suitable for fitting snuggly to a regular couch cushion or a box type couch cushion.  Many slip covers are one piece, but there are slip covers that are sold in more than one piece, particularly if you are buying a cover for a sectional couch or if you are in need of a sofa bed slip cover. 

Some slip covers are sold with the dimensions noted on the packaging while others will indicate what style couch that they will fit.  You are in a better position if you buy a slip cover that is oversized than one that is too small, since an oversized cover can be altered to fit the couch you own, or tucked between cushions for a better fit.

Sofa Slip Covers – Considerations

The style of your sofa will play a large role in your cover selection.  You will have to make measurements of the couch in order to ensure a proper fit.  You can use a tape measure to determine the width, length, and height of the sofa you own.  If you have a two cushion, three cushion, or sectional couch, this will also play a role in the cover you buy.  You also have the option of choosing from a range of fabrics including canvas, microfiber, twill, chenille, herringbone, linen, striped fabric, velvet, leather, and faux leather.

If you have kids and/or pets, you will want to get sofa slip covers that have fabrics made of stain resistant materials.  By choosing a slip cover sofa selection with stain resistant properties, you can ensure the longevity of the aesthetic qualities of the cover you buy to keep your couch protected.  You also maximize the monetary savings you derive by ensuring the longevity of the cover’s condition. 

The slip cover’s ease of use is equally important when you are choosing the right cover for your sofa.  You will want a cover that has easy to care for material. If you order a slip cover that is wrinkled when it arrives, you have to examine the care instructions to see if you can iron or steam the fabric.  The care instructions will also define the methods you can use for washing and/or drying the cover. Some covers may be made of materials that can easily be damaged if exposed to an iron or the heat in a dryer.
