Before I rave about these stretch covers, let me say, "What was I thinking buying a white couch"? Not only did I do that, but I bought a white oversized chair as well. I was moving into an oceanside townhome at the time. I guess it seemed like it fit the vibe. But as you can see by my messy bookshelves and overall "relaxed" decor, I should be prohibited from buying white furniture. I even have not just one, but two cats. OK. That said - thank God and Gertrude for these covers. My couch is pretty big I think. I bought the couch cover and two seat cushion covers as well. My couch cushions stretch the covers to their limit but honestly - they look fantastic. I'm glad I got them in addition to the couch cover. I didn't do the formal tucking of the cover with the cardboard inserts provided yet. I have them still, but for the time being, I've just done a hand tuck. On my couch, the cover stretches out to a near maximum in some areas of the couch, but most of the coverage it is just right. The material never stretches to the point of revealing white underneath. This is nice material - soft to the touch. There was NO SMELL from these covers which was wonderful. Putting the chair cover on was easier than putting a standard pillowcase on a bed pillow. It looks great too. I really like the rushed material. The texture is great - comfortable, soft and attractive. You think its going to be weird but its nice.The overall "putting the cover on" process is simple and intuitive and does come with instructions. I love, love, love these slipcovers and can't recommend them enough. They are a game changer - a quick, extremely cost effective solution to the white couch mistake. These would be perfect to fully cover a worn, torn or stained couch.
