If you're looking for a quick and easy way to protect multiple pieces of furniture at once and still keep a uniform look, this slipcover set is an affordable way to do so. In this case, a loose sofa cover with a long valance sheet to the floor gives a sofa a traditional and rustic style, while a fitted cover on the same SÖDERHAMN sofa results in a more minimal, sleek look. Reviewers note the material is very thin and lightweight which helps it conform to your couch but may affect the cover's ability to protect the fabric underneath from stains. The more basic one-piece covers can fit over a wider variety of shapes, whereas two- and three-piece covers conform better to the cushions for a more tailored look.While you can find sofa covers in various materials and fabrics, it’s best to go with a durable, medium-weight fabric that’s machine washable, such as cotton, canvas, microfibre or a twill blend like denim.

Plus, it's easy to remove, machine wash and replace any time it gets dirty, smelly or covered in fur. The cotton used in our covers comes from more sustainable sources, that means it’s either recycled or grown with less resources. We found that cotton slipcovers shrunk more than the synthetics, which sometimes affected the fit after laundering.
