How do I find a sofa cover that fits my sofa? A shopping guide

Finding the sofa cover that matches your sofa can seem difficult at first, but it's actually quite easy.

First, you have to be clear about what you want.

Here are some of the key reasons why you should choose a slipcover that goes well with your sofa.

 Sofa Cover

  • This gives you a fantastic (and almost brand new) looking sofa without actually having to buy a new sofa.
  • You save the cost and time of having your sofa reupholstered somewhere (often several thousand euros!).
  • You protect the environment because your old sofa doesn't end up in a landfill.
  • You can use your sofa for a few more years or until it really breaks before you have to buy a new sofa.

Just like any other purchase, it depends on what's available, what it costs, whether it's a good investment, and whether it's easy to take the sofa cover home and put it on yourself.




Can my sofa be covered with a sofa cover at all?

With the above in mind, you now need to find out if your sofa can be upholstered with a slipcover.

Depending on the model, it is quite possible that no sofa covers can be made for your sofa, as not all sofas have a suitable design.

But since sofas remain sofas and only a few deviate too much from the norm in their design, around 80% of all sofas can be covered with a sofa cover relatively easily.

If you happen to have a recliner or wing chair, you don't have to give up hope right away.

There are still companies like Surefit, Wayfair, and Overstock that offer universal sofa covers off the shelf, which is very inexpensive and with their elastic fabric they fit practically every model. However, the upholstery may not be made of a fabric you like and your furniture may end up looking different.

If that's the case, you may need to spend a little more on a professional re-upholstery or a new piece of furniture.

How much will it cost?

The price depends on where you get the sofa covers from.

The best sofa covers come from a local upholsterer or tailor as they can work directly with your sofa. They'll probably come to your house, put pieces of fabric over your sofa, and measure everything. You then take these pieces, sew them together, turn them inside out, and voila - your sofa cover is done.

Are sofa covers worth the investment?

And do sofa covers really work?

Finding a slipcover that fits is one thing, but making sure what you're spending on it is worth the investment is another.

While re-upholstering may look best, it's a disaster if you spill something on it or if your cat decides to use your sofa as a scratching post.

Bespoke sofa covers give you the flexibility to take them off, wash them, and replace them whenever you want.



But as said, you can be sure that no matter how good a new or newly upholstered sofa is - after about 3 years it will look worn and old.

Using a sofa cover (if one is not already included with the sofa) is definitely a good investment to extend the life of a sofa.

Will a sofa cover fit my sofa well?

It really depends on the people making the sofa cover for you.

In general, universal slipcovers are easy to pull over the sofa because they are larger and more elastic. However, it's quite a hassle to hide the excess fabric when the cover is much larger than the sofa.

For made-to-measure sofa covers, you can ask the manufacturer to add zippers to the back of the cover for easier installation. In general, the closer a sofa cover fits, the better it looks in the end:

Hopefully, this post has been informative enough to help you find the best slipcover for your sofa – which, in our opinion, amounts to a bespoke sofa cover?

Bedsheets  have been made of cotton since around 1860, due to their ease of processing. Cotton, mostly in the form of jerseys (which is also often used in shirts), is now the most common material.
