A Few Things To Know Before You Buy
Before you start shopping for a cover, there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure you’re getting the perfect option for your sofa.
-
MEASURE YOUR SOFA
Most covers come in standard sizes that are designed to fit a range of sofas. Just be sure to measure the length, width, and depth to be certain you are ordering the right size. (When in doubt, go with a larger size. It’s better to have extra material than be struggling daily to keep the cover in place.) Also, keep in mind whether your sofa has a loose or attached seat and back cushions (and how many), and go for a cover with the same configuration.
-
PICK THE RIGHT FABRIC
If you want a super snug fit, be sure to select a cover in a stretch fabric. Most stretch options will consist of acrylic fabric with spandex, which allows them to be stretched over different shaped frames for a more polished look. You can also choose an option in natural linen, velvet, or cotton, which will generally have a looser and more relaxed fit.
