The Slipcover Shopping Guide!
Everything you need to know when buying and fitting slipcovers



We've helped thousands of customers choose the right slipcover solution for their home, and have made or installed countless slipcovers ourselves. Though we no longer sell ready-made furniture slipcovers, we've compiled this comprehensive guide to help you pick the slipcover solution - from ready-mades, to custom, to do-it-yourself - that best fits your home, your furniture and your lifestyle!

Slipcovers are a popular, easy-living and time-tested answer to countless furniture woes. With them you can quickly update an entire room, freshen up a time worn favorite, or even protect expensive upholstery throughout the toddler years.

But shopping for – and fitting – slipcovers can be a daunting task. Will today’s popular ready-made slipcovers fit both your furniture and your lifestyle? Where do you turn if you want a more tailored look? What if you’re trying to cover a sectional, chaise lounge or recliner? And finally, what slipcover solutions fall within your budget?

The good news for slipcover shoppers is there are many options available to fit a variety of needs and budgets. For many, great looks can be achieved quickly and easily with ready-made slipcovers costing only about $100 to $200 for a full-sized sofa. These “one-size-and-style-fits-most” slipcovers can be the perfect choice for a lower-budget makeover. Plus, many ready-made slipcover makers offer coordinating accent pillows along with “specialty” slipcovers for recliners, wingback furniture, ottomans, and dining room chairs, so they are definitely worth a look when shopping.

But, if you desire a more tailored look than ready-mades offer, have a hard-to-fit piece of furniture, or if you want to slipcover a piece that falls outside of ready-made’s traditional sofa, loveseat and chair sizes, then a semi-fitted or custom slipcover may be the only way to go.
