Sofa covers protect upholstery from pet hair, spills, scratches and everyday wear, and are an easy way to refresh a tired couch without replacing it.

Stretch covers use an elasticated fabric that pulls snugly over the arms, back and seat cushions for a fitted look. Quilted and waterproof covers lay over the seating area and are the better option where spills are the main concern. Plush and jacquard covers add texture and warmth, with raised weaves that suit colder months.

Non-slip backing runs through most of the range, helping the cover stay in place through daily use.

Choosing a size: covers are listed by seat count, but sofas vary widely, so measure the width of your seating area from arm to arm before ordering. Separate armrest, backrest and cushion covers are available on several designs so you can cover only what you need.
