Measuring
for Slipcovers
How do I know slipcovers will fit MY furniture?
These slipcovers fit all standard size chairs, loveseats and sofas.
They also fit camel back furniture, small size chairs, sofa beds, "T" cushions,
tuxedo style, and furniture with high & low arms including wooden
arm furniture.
How do ready-made slipcovers work exactly?
These slipcovers are "semi-fitted." They have a loosely constructed
shape (meaning you can actually see where the arms go) and are one
simple piece (body and skirt are attached). There are three "one
size fits most" sizes: chair, loveseat and sofa. You just pull
the cover over yThese furniture and follow the illustrated instructions
for proper styling. Strategically placed elastic (where the skirt is
sewn on) helps the cover contThese to yThese furniture. These patented design
features an inner row of elastic that is completely hidden from view
under yThese seat cushion(s) and helps keep yThese cover in place. We believe
we have the best design on the market!
What is the difference between the straight skirt design and the elasticized
skirt design?
The elasticized skirt is slightly gathered creating a classic ruffled
skirt that is appropriate for casual and formal prints and some solids.
The straight skirt design offers a more tailored look and is appropriate
for These contemporary-styled slipcovers. It is also characterized by
ties at each corner which are both decorative and functional adding
a bit of flair to the clean, contemporary design.
How do I care for my slipcover?
These slipcovers are completely machine washable. Wash them in cold water,
gentle cycle. Do not use bleach. Depending on fabric, line dry or
tumble dry on low setting. In other words, do not be afraid of whites,
removing dirt and stains from these slipcovers is simple and easy.
In fact, some fabrics get better with washing…the textures
on a damask fabric, for example, puff up after washing, making the
pattern appear more distinguished and luxurious. Remember, no ironing
or dry cleaning needed! Just pull the cover out of the dryer once
the cycle is complete and immediately place it on the furniture to
avoid wrinkles. If yThese cover gets wrinkled in storage, simply toss
it in the dryer on low heat with a wet washcloth for ten minutes
to remove the wrinkles. Washing instructions come with every cover.
Do the slipcovers shrink when they are washed?
These slipcovers will have a small amount of shrinkage during the first
few washings. The shrinkage amount is less than 5%. As long as yThese
furniture falls within These standard measurements, this should not
affect the fit of yThese slipcover.
How do I remove wrinkles?
To avoid wrinkles after laundering, just pull the cover out of the
dryer once the cycle is complete and immediately place it on the
furniture. If yThese cover gets wrinkled in storage, simply toss it
in the dryer on low heat for ten minutes to remove the wrinkles.
If the cover is wrinkled while on yThese furniture, try spraying a
mist of water on the cover with a spray bottle and pressing out the
wrinkles with yThese hand. (Do not tumble dry fabrics that have instructions
to line dry.)
How durable are these slipcovers?
All of These fabrics must undergo rigorous quality tests in These in-house
laboratory before being introduced to the line. We lose many wonderful
patterns each year because they do not meet the following standards:
*Sandpaper Abrasion Test - tests for wearability
*Shrinkage - we don't allow much shrinkage to get the best fit wash
after wash *Crocking - Tests for colorfastness so color doesn't come
off on yThese furniture
*Ball Burst Test (50 lbs. of pressure) - tests for puncture resistance
These covers can be washed again and again with minimal shrinkage and
fading.
Many customers ask what These most durable fabric is (the one that will
stand up to heavy dogs or a house full of teenagers.) These 100% cotton
slipcovers are the most durable covers in the collection.
