Slip Covers

 

 

 

Turn Old Into New With Slipcovers

Slipcovers may be the perfect choice when deciding what to do to change a chair or sofa and give a new, fresh look.  You can buy or make slipcovers for just about anything:  sofas, sectional sofas, sofa beds, loveseats, wingchairs, accent chairs, dining room chairs, cushions, recliners, chaises, ottomans, futons, and headboards.

The most requested is the sofa slipcover.  It's a great idea to the alternative, and that is, buying a new sofa.  Tired of your sofa?  Just slip on a new slipcover and WOW!  Your sofa looks brand new.

There's an array of fabrics to choose from for your slipcovers.  Some considerations are:  denim, linen, muslin, chenille, velvet, leather, suede, cotton duck, corduroy, gingham, fur, mohair, tapestry and terry cloth.  

In selecting your slipcovers for your sofa, color & texture are two significant elements among many, including durability, resistance to dirt, possibility of shrinking or stretching, ease of working (sewing), cleaning and price.

Price is a more complex issue than it may seem.  The initial cost of fabric yardage tells nothing about the fabrics lifetime cost which takes in account its durability, cleaning costs and replacement costs.  

A better fabric at a higher price may be more economical, in the long run, than a cheap material with a short life.  However, if you plan to change slipcovers frequently, this may not apply.

Remember to measure your sofas length, width and height to get the right size slipcovers.  We have assembled the best manufacturers of slipcovers right here, so choosing yours is a snap!
