Recently, I've had to protect the light-colored furniture in our newly created TV room upstairs.
We have family staying for a while, and the beige sofa and chairs need a little extra protection. As most of you know, my mom recently passed away; this furniture is from her living room. Needless to say, I'm a bit overprotective of it.
There Are Many Couch Protectors and Slipcovers Styles, So Why Did I Choose These? (Scroll Down to View the Photos)
- My mom's couch and chairs have skirts on the bottom, so purchasing the ones that slip over the entire couch would not work. These particular slipcovers have elastic that grabs at the bottom and that would crinkle up the skirts.
- If you look closely at the photos of the full slipcovers provided by verified purchasers, I found the crinkled look sloppy.
- A few people complained of slipcovers coming off, especially with pets and people just sitting on the couch.
- I debated purchasing a water-resistant cover, but after researching, some comments said they made a bit of noise when you sat on them. No thanks.
- Since I wasn't purchasing the protectors for pets, I chose the comfy-cozy ones I selected below.
- They're soft
- They slip on easily
- They stay on perfectly when you sit on them
- They fit the back cushions on the sofa as well
- They're elegant-looking
- They do come in many colors
- They're machine washable (I haven't had to wash them yet)
- The price was acceptable
- It solved the problem of protecting the couch
- They come in packs of 2 or 3
- They come in three size choices
- They come in many colors
- Measure your sofa seat length, width, and height first
- They are relatively thin, so if you need them to provide a liquid barrier, these aren't the ones to choose
Note: The chairs are not covered in these photos. They have since been covered with the same product. |
Here's a fun side note: When I backpacked through Europe in 1978, I picked up those three photos on the back wall from the streets of Paris - they were in my mom's upstairs hallway from 1978 to 2021, now they're in my home. The needlepoint deer was made by my grandmother (my mom's mom, and when mom passed, it came to me) - The furniture is also my mom's, so we affectionately refer to this little tv room as "The History Room." There's a cabinet with more photo memories and a tv on the other wall.
★★★★★ - 5 Stars from me. Purchaser approved.

ReplyDeleteThese couch cushion protectors look perfect for protecting the sofa and chairs you inherited from your beloved mom. I’m so glad you found a great solution. I also love your wall art and the history behind it. The History Room is the perfect name for this special room with its wonderful memories!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful room full of precious memories! I can certainly understand why you wish to protect the couch as much as possible, but still use the room surrounded by meaningful keepsakes. The needlepoint deer is beautiful and the Paris photos that you, yourself took are awesome! But, back to the cushions: they are perfect for a TV room. I was just thinking how I need to find covers for my grandmother's fabric chairs. Thank you for the recommendation!
ReplyDeleteOh Barbara, we just finished doing the same thing with our couch. It was a "high" end furniture piece that we didn't want to get rid of and it was starting to look a little worn out. These covers have given it a new life in our home. Thanks for the great review and your TV/History room looks great!
