Size & Fit Questions

What types of furniture do your slipcovers fit?
Our slipcovers fit most upholstered furniture with arms. Some of our covers fit furniture with T-shaped seat cushions and square cushions, high arms and low arms, sofa beds and leather furniture - we even fit today's overstuffed styles with loose pillows. As a rule, our slipcovers DO NOT fit chaises and loveseats or sofas with built-in recliners.

Styling Tips…
Wooden Arms - Wrap inexpensive polyester batting from a fabric or craft store on the arms to pad them. Secure with string or velcro. They will be completely hidden under your slipcover.
Leather Furniture - We suggest that you use non-skid carpet grip on the furniture which can be found in department or carpet stores. This helps prevent the cover from sliding on the slippery surface.
Sofa Beds - Use your slipcover as you would on a regular sofa. You do have to partially remove the cover before opening up the bed.
