Sofa slipcovers - have your sofa slip into something more comfortable

Furniture slipcovers really are a fast and affordable alternative to buying new furniture. Sofa slip covers are easy to slip on and far less expensive than purchasing new furniture.

If your cushions and springs are still in good shape and it's just the outside fabric that is starting to fade there is no reason why you should run out and buy new living room furniture. Furniture slip covers are the cheapest way of redecorating your living room, after you have repainted or wallpapered and find that your furniture does not look quite as good as it did before. 

There are numerous styles that will cover your furniture including wingback chairs, ottomans, recliners, sofas, dining chairs and even folding chairs. Semi fitted stretch slipcovers have a unique one-piece design that features hidden elastic to hold the cover in place, for a smooth and snug-fitting finish.  The quality easy-care fabrics are all tested for durability, color-fastness and shrinkage, and can all be machine-washed when necessary.

The word according to Mary's husband in San Jose from start to finish.

Oddly enough I wanted to know this so I had my wife take one out of the package and then I timed her. ( I know it's weird, she said the same thing)

Total time was 25 minutes, this time included the following installation steps that she took. Most people will say it only takes minutes to place over your furniture but that depends on how large your sofa is and I took into consideration chat time, coffee, my wife's bragging rights on how much money she saved me and the odd phone call while we were fitting it.

• Take out of package and roughly lay out over furniture just to view the color.
• Next briefly describe to me how much money she saved.
• Take furniture cover down stairs and iron out wrinkles.
• Back up to living room and slipping the cover onto the couch, starting by just loosely fitting it over top and then going from one end to the next.
