Slip Covers Can Make Old Furniture New Again

When my daughter and her husband had a birthday party for my grandson their house was filled with children and parents. Unfortunately one of the children spilled his fruit punch on my son-in-laws favorite recliner. Today, thanks to a stretch recliner slip cover the chairs looks as good as new.

Needless to say the parents of the child were apologetic and offered to replace the chair. My daughter took it in stride. First she had a professional come in to clean the chair, but unfortunately the stain couldn't be totally removed. There was still a very light pink stain across the cushion. My daughter knew exactly what she was going to do. She had seen Sure Fit recliner slip covers on line while looking for couch slip covers for her family room sofa and decided to purchase one. I remember she had showed them to me.

I was amazed at the selection of slip covers that are available today. I thought the only furniture slip covers available were slip covers for sofas and love seats. Today's manufacturers offer slip covers for dining room chairs, recliners, wing chairs, high back chairs and dining room chairs.

The slip cover my daughter had purchased for her family room sofa looked great. It came with separate seat cushion covers which gives the sofa slip cover a custom made look. My daughter went online and found out how to measure the sofa to assure the slip cover was the proper size and the online seller had an instruction video online which showed her how

o put the slip cover on her sofa.

Slip cover fabrics are brand new too. Todays recliner slip covers are available in stretch fabrics. Gone are the wrinkles of yesterday's slip covers. These fabrics are made to fit the chair like a glove. Todays stretch slip covers are made of fabrics that stretch and return to their original shape guaranteeing a perfect fit.

These recliner slip covers are available in a wide range of fabrics and colors. The best part is that the fabrics are a polyester and spandex combination that go into the washer and dryer and come out perfectly. Some of the stretch recliner slipcover fabric choices are faux suede, chenille, micro suede and velour.

My daughter was able to find the perfect color recliner slip cover to cover up the stained recliner in the living room. Stretch recliner slip covers run around $80 to $90 depending on the manufacturer and fabric choice.

Don't think you have to replace a perfectly good piece of furniture because of a stain or faded or worn fabric. You can make you furniture as good as new with furniture slip covers.
