Slipcover Options & Add Ons
These options are available for sofa, armchair and sectional sofa orders:
Lining
Lining is used to prevent show-through from dark or bright print upholstery. This occurs most often with white or light colored fabrics. To check for show-through, place a sample of the fabric you want to use for your slipcover over the arm.
The polyester / cotton lining is applied to the entire slipcover - body and cushions. It is attached to each section of the slipcover prior to construction for a smooth, wrinkle free surface.
Arm covers
Arm covers are a great way to guard against sticky fingers and dirt. Our arm covers duplicate the shape of your arm face and extend 12 inches back from the face of the arm along the top of the arm. If you order a slipcover style with covered cord accents, the arm covers will have it as well.
Extra Cushion Covers
An extra set of cushion covers are great to have for a quick change after a spill or while one set is being cleaned. And, they will extend the life of your slipcover.
Stay Strips
Recommended for furniture with rolled arms. Stay Strips give your slipcover a form fit look and prevent your slipcover from sagging under the arms. One side of the Stay Strip is sewn into the slipcover under the roll. You attach the corresponding side to your furniture under the arm roll.
CAUTION - Removal of the Stay Strip from your furniture may damage the upholstery.
Pet Shield
No more ugly sheets and towel to protect your furniture from the furry members of the family. Our Pet Shields are custom sized to the size of your furniture to cover the entire seat and arms. Arm face caps hold the it in place to reduce shifting. They are made from the same fabric as your slipcover to blend right in.

EASY-Measure System
Don't know a T cushion from a pin cushion?
Nervous about measuring?
Relax, Our EASY Measure System Makes it Easy
Our EASY Measure System is a process that includes photos of your furniture and easy to follow measurement forms. Our system is the result of over 20 years of experience working with customers just like you. We know the average person doesn't know a T cushion from a pin cushion, that's why our method doesn't require you to figure out what type of furniture or cushions you have. Our staff does it for you.
This is how it works: after you place your slipcover order, you will receive an e-mail with a list of the photos we need of your furniture. Our patterning experts will review your photos and e-mail back a set of measuring forms that matches your furniture's features.
Our easy to follow measuring forms take all the guesswork out of measuring because the forms will match your furniture's features from frame to cushions. They include detailed diagrams and clear instructions on how to take each measurement. The forms can be printed out so you can complete the forms right next to your furniture, then enter your measurements on the email form and email them back. Or, if you prefer, you can fax or mail them. And, if you need help along the way, just call our customer service representatives. They'll be happy to assist you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Fabric questions
Can I send my own fabric?
We do not accept fabric from our customers. The quality of our slipcovers is dependent on the fabric and we are not able to control the type and quality of fabric supplied by our customers.
If I can’t find the fabric I want in your collection, can you source it for me?
Sorry, we do not source fabric for our customers. Not all fabrics make good slipcovers. Our fabrics must meet a set of criteria that we believe will make the best slipcovers.
If I send you a swatch can you match it?
No, but you can order swatches from our site. Ultimately, you are the best judge of the color you want.
Can I order swatches?
Yes. Samples are free.
Can I just buy the fabric?
Sorry, no. We are not a fabric retailer.
Can I buy extra fabric?
Yes, you can order up to 3 yards of the same fabric that you ordered for your slipcover.
Do you pre-wash your fabric?
The short answer is no. We do offer some fabrics that are pre-washed or processed by the mill to remove the fabric finish and soften the fabric but we do not pre-wash our fabrics. Some people believe that washing and shrinking the fabric will prevent the fabric from tightening when it is cleaned, but think about your jeans. What happens every time you wash them? What we do is add in an allowance to some of the measurements our customer provide. The amount of the allowance is based on the fabric type.
What’s the best fabric for a home with children or a home with cats.
Homes with children require a fabric that is durable and easy to maintain. Synthetic fabrics (100% polyester) are the easiest to clean and can provide years of service. Cats pose a special problem and require a tightly woven fabric. We recommend our high performance fabrics as well as Silken Suede micro-fiber or Sensation microfiber fabrics. But, nothing deters a determined cat.
Measuring questions
Replacement slipcovers - Can I send you my old slipcover?
If you are asking about a slipcover we made there is no need to send it in, we have your patterning on file. Just contact us and tell us the fabric and style you want for your new slipcover.
If you are asking about a slipcover for your Pottery Barn,Crate & Barrel or other manufacture, sorry no. Any good slipcover maker will tell you that creating a new slipcover based on an old slipcover will not give you the best results. Old slipcovers have stretched and shrunk over time and no longer reflect the actual size of the furniture. For the best fit we start from scratch with photos and measurements.
Did you keep my measurements from my last order?
Yes, we keep all of our customer’s measurements and patterning – from the very first customer over 20 years ago. If you want to re-order just let us know the fabric and design options you want – easy as that.
If I tell you the manufacturer and model, do you have the dimensions?
No, unfortunately furniture is not like automobiles that are stamped out. Furniture, even non-custom furniture, is still hand-crafted and sizing can vary. Also, furniture dimensions will change with time and wear as upholstery compresses. But measuring is easy to do. See EASY-Measure Method.
Do you come out and measure?
No, we are an Internet based company which means that we do not have brick-and-mortar locations. This reduces our operating costs and allows us to provide our service to customers throughout the country at a great price.
