About this deal
Hanging onto an old sofa is like keeping around a favorite sweater that no longer fits: We do it for the sake of reveling in memories and heritage of the past (not because of our abandonment issues, we swear). Otherwise, go for a thick throw-blanket-ish pad that'll simply drape over the seating to give it an ephemeral makeover, as well as timely protection against pets, toddlers, and even you.
Measurement: Like for most furniture accessories, take your measurement before executing your next move.But the folks at Subrtex is able to come up with a two-piece solution that has a separate cover for both the main sofa and the chaise that sticks out. Orvis's Grip-Tight cover is made with dogs in mind—because cats are much more disciplined, no offense—and protects your couch from pet hair and muddy body parts. These couch slipcovers definitely don’t look like they belong to your grandma, and will keep your couch clean and ready for the generation after you. But boy, oh boy, doesn't it look gorgeous, especially when it comes in the same fabric as your upholstery, in a color that either matches or contrasts or blends with it. If you wanna take your sofa to the red carpet, a multi-piece option with covers for each cushion will really lend a tailored, cinched appearance that's more tied-together.
That’s why casting away an heirloom-worthy furniture piece like a sofa—that's lasted longer than you'd like to admit—in your contemporarily-styled living room (or any room of any style) is not an option here.In fact, whether it’s your seen-some-days three-seater or brand new sectional, you can both maintain and enhance it by simply getting a sofa cover. With a loose fit, you're risking a dead giveaway that your sofa is wearing a "makeup" when guests come over. Sofa slipcovers are also protective against water and scratches, making them helpful for coffee spills, dirty fingers, grubby paws, and even messy children.
