SLIPCOVERS FOR CHAIRS OR SOFAS

Slipcovers are protective fabric coverings for your couch, sofa, loveseat or chair. They come in a variety of fabrics and a multitude of styles to suit any design scheme. Furniture stores prefer to sell you new items rather than help you dress up your current stuff, but knowing a few important facts can allow you to make a good choice and save money with these valuable accessories.

Traditional slipcovers  can be made from cotton, wool, polyester, linen, canvas, denim, almost any fabric or blend. Regardless of how much you expect to use your furniture, you should pick a sturdy fabric--something that will look good for many years.

Like insurance, furniture covers are an investment in protecting your furniture. Contemporary slipcovers come in plenty of colors to suit every taste and décor. Their price depends on three things: quality of the fabric, size and configuration.

Heavy fabrics or special treatments add value (and price) to the slipcover. A sofa slipcover needs more fabric than chair covers, so they will cost more. Multi-piece slipcovers, those that come with separate cushion covers, will also be a bit more expensive as they use more fabric and require more labor to construct.
