Fabric Questions
What is the difference between the various slipcover fabrics?
Sure Fit's design team uses the most popular fabrics and patterns from the upholstery market.
All of our fabrics are machine washable and pass through rigorous quality control procedures. Today, with new fiber technology, slipcover fabrics are more luxurious and durable than ever!
Chenille slipcovers are heavyweight, soft to the touch, and lavishly textured. 100% Cotton covers are very popular since cotton is a wonderful year-round fabric that is naturally soft,
breathable, and retains color beautifully. Whether you lean towards more formal fabrics such as damask and jacquard, or more casual fabrics such as twill or duck, you can rest assured that
Sure Fit slipcover fabrics look and feel expensive but are, in fact, very reasonably priced. We pride ourselves on finding great value and fashion for our customers.
Can I mix and match different fabrics?
Yes. In fact, one rarely sees the same fabric all around a living room. Mixing patterns and textures is a wonderful way to get a professional decorator look in your living room. Sure Fit's
slipcover / window collection is designed to make mixing and matching easy.
How do I choose the right slipcover?
There are no hard and fast rules but we do offer some helpful hints. First, if you are happy with your current décor and simply want to cover your furniture, then consider choosing color first.
Pick something that coordinates with your existing rugs, drapes, and wall color. If you're having difficulty, flip through some decorating magazines or books to see if you can find any rooms
that look similar to yours. Many people opt for solid color slipcovers because they are so easy to decorate with. We recommend sticking with a solid color slipcover if you have a patterned
rug for example. Many customers choose neutral colors for a clean, contemporary look. We have a slipcover for almost every style and our prices are so good, you might even consider getting more than one cover!
How do I care for my slipcover?
Most of Sure Fit slipcovers are completely machine washable. Wash them in cold water, gentle cycle. Do not use bleach. Depending on fabric, line dry or tumble dry on low setting. Just pull
the cover out of the dryer once the cycle is complete and immediately place it on the furniture to avoid wrinkles. If your cover gets wrinkled in storage, simply toss it in the dryer on low heat
with a wet washcloth for ten minutes to remove the wrinkles. Washing instructions come with every cover.
Will any light colored patterns cover dark furniture?
Our Matelasse will cover dark patterns and solids without a problem. Any other light colored slipcover may need a white sheet put on your furniture before the cover is placed on it.
Can the slipcovers be dyed?
We do not recommend dying the slipcovers. Also, please be aware that if you make any alterations to the slipcovers, we cannot honor our guarantee and you may damage your furniture.
Do the slipcovers shrink when they are washed?
Our slipcovers will have a small amount of shrinkage during the first few washings. The shrinkage amount is less than 5%. As long as your furniture falls within our standard
measurements, this should not affect the fit of your slipcover.
How do I remove wrinkles?
To avoid wrinkles after laundering, just pull the cover out of the dryer once the cycle is complete and immediately place it on the furniture. If your cover gets wrinkled in storage, simply toss it in
the dryer on low heat for ten minutes to remove the wrinkles. If the cover is wrinkled while on your furniture, try spraying a mist of water on the cover with a spray bottle and pressing out the
wrinkles with your hand. (Do not tumble dry fabrics that have instructions to line dry.)
