6 Best Couch Covers In 2024

Don't buy a new couch; invest in a couch cover!

Whether you're trying to protect your furniture from your children or you just want to have a different look without spending a lot of money to get a whole new couch. Couch covers have made a comeback, and I am one who has been using them for my couches for over 7 years. When we moved into our first apartment, we received hand-me-down furniture cuz we could not afford new couches, so we decided to go with couch covers to give a new look, and I was hooked.

Now, let's be clear: these couch covers are nothing like the back-in-the-day grandma couch covers. No plastic here! Although you can buy plastic covers as well.

I have found some that have prints that are solid one-piece multiple pieces, as well as Sherpa fleece fabric. It just sounds so comfortable, and I have that listed below as well. If you are brand new to couch covers, no worries. I have information and get you up to speed before buying your first one in this blog post.

What are couch covers?


Couch covers are large pieces of fabric that have been sewn together to cover most types of sofas, loveseats, or chairs you have that are not looking their best, or the color is just no longer what you love, and you want to get a different look. These covers are available in a variety of options and styles, as well as 100% vinyl plastic to protect your fabric.

Will they make my couch look awful?


That's a possibility if you buy one that does not look good! Just as you go shopping for clothes every day, you look for what appeals to you. This is the same thing you want to do when you are buying a couch cover. The quality of the fabric is also very important because you will be using this a lot, which means you will also watch this a lot, and not having good quality will end up with the fabric thinning, getting holes, and eventually winding up in the trash because it is no longer usable. The list I have below is some of the best companies I have come across and used for my couch covers.




As a person who has tried one-piece and multiple-piece slipcovers, aka couch covers, I prefer the ones that have individual pieces for the body and also the cushion.  Now, this is totally a personal preference, and this one has multiple colors and the same texture.  There are others available that are in multiple pieces like this that are made textured like this but also made in velvet.  This is indeed a lot of fabric, so you do want to make sure you have a place to put additional pieces if you buy multiple sets.

People are loving the elasticity & quality.
Based on how it performs, many are raving about it naturally. One reviewer, KatieBee, writes, "I bought one of these a couple years ago for a loveseat – I intended using it as a spare cover when the usual one (a cotton duck-style cover) was in the wash. I ended up leaving it on the loveseat full-time because it looked so much better than the much more expensive cotton duck cover. It has worn very well... Initially I was a bit meh on the seat cover but I have grown to really appreciate the fact I can whip it off there in 2 seconds to launder it (which happens often because the dog lies on it) and then put it back on there just as quickly instead of wrestling it into a standard seat cover with a zipper. The seat cover washes up really well, too.

SO: this is my second one, purchased for a large sofa. Again, it looks much better than the cover I had been using up to now (a Surefit one that cost twice as much). It's thicker and softer, for sure. BUT I will say that it barely fit my sofa, despite the sofa being well within the quoted measurements with regard to size. (IIRC it also was a tight fit with the loveseat). So that's something people will want to consider if buying this."



When I came across this velvet stretch chair cover, I fell in love immediately because I love the feeling of velvet. Now, this material is kind of stretchy, which is really great, and because it is velvet, water does not absorb quickly, which gives you enough time to find something to absorb those accidental spills. Washing this is ideal, and getting out even marker has been so easy with scrubbing this when I have come across those accidents as well.

People are loving the value & durability.
Based on how it performs, many are raving about it naturally. One reviewer, Christina Campbell, writes, "Yes, these are the same couches! We just moved across the country, and as much as I wanted to buy some beautiful modern new couches, it won't be in the budget anytime soon.. Then I found these beauties. I can't believe these covers cover up any trace of my ugly blue green 20 something hand me down couches. I'm simply amazed! As you can see by the pictures, it was also able to cover up all the loose wrinkled fabric. My couches now look like big squishy marshmallows! Not to mention, these covers make them feel like marshmallows too.. So much so that when I opened the package and felt the fabric, I thought they had given me blankets by mistake. I couldn't believe how soft they were! 

One thing I will say about the color which I already knew from reading the previous reviews: This is NOT "off white". As much as I hoped they would be, it didn't bug me one bit. Any shade of white to me is far better than what my couches previously looked like. For reference, my rug in the picture is a creamy off white/ivory and so is my throw blanket over the couch. The color is growing on me now, and it's actually a nice monochromatic look with the rug and blanket. As far as durability goes, we sit on these couches everyday and we spend most of our time in this room. We have two cats with sharp claws, but there's not a single hole in these covers. Cat hair comes off easily as well. We've had them for a little over a month now, and have gotten some stains on them here and there. I got some melted chocolate on it, and sprayed it with a stain remover and it came off. I did notice where I used the remover that there are some grayish spots on it from the water. 

It really doesn't bother me much though. I'll update this review when I actually wash the covers and let you know how they hold up, although I'm extremely reluctant to do so because I never want to see those ugly blue green couches again! I bought size large for the couch and love seat. It fits our pillow top couch perfectly! The fabric is a bit baggy on the right arm of the love seat, but I just tuck it under the arm. I'm sure you could use tacks as well, but for all I know it might be a user error and we just have to adjust it. The seat cushions do stick out a bit, and that's because our couches back cushions are attached. Since the cover holds them down, they're unable to lift over the seat cushions like they used to. Our seat cushions would always move around anyway, so it's not really a concern to us. To me, these are all small prices to pay if it means I can give my room the facelift that it needs at an affordable price! I am so happy I purchased these covers, and I can't recommend them enough. They gave me a space I can be proud of and my already insanely comfortable couches some style. If none of the things I mentioned above bother you, what are you doing? BUY THEM! *I was NOT paid to write this review, just a very happy customer* ;)"





Now, if you are an individual who wants their only couch covered and you just prefer the seats, this option is for you. A lot of times, the cushions are the part that is most worn out versus the back part of your couch, so of course, you want to protect this part as much as possible, especially if you have children who constantly run around with their dirty little fingers touching everything. Never mind you, this is only one type of cushion cover available in colors that come in a variety of shades.

People are loving the fit & stability of the cover.
Based on how it performs, many are raving about it naturally. One reviewer, RedBird001, writes, "I bought the chaise cover in Island Fossil, which is a pretty close match colorwise. This piece is not shaped to the chaise cushion (it's a rectangle) but it is the right length, and it was easy to tuck to make it look good. It's not too heavy, nor is it flimsy. I could have skipped the small square pattern, but again, color was a good match and it fits, so I am happy."


1 pc Easy-Going Stretch Sofa Slipcover

Easy Going has many different couch covers and different colors and textures. This particular couch cover comes in a texture form, and it's one solid piece where you will be stuffing the seat section down within the crevices to hold it in place. This is a solid piece of fabric; however, you are able to wash this material easily. It is very breathable, and it does not make a sweat while sitting on it in the summertime.

People love how it fits & the comfort.
Based on how it performs, many are raving about it naturally. One reviewer, Mlez Khider, writes, "I have to say, when I was purchasing this couch cover I didn’t really expect much due to my past with these types of purchases. This really amazed me though. The fabric is to die for and super soft! Nice grip onto the couch and an elastic at the end to make sure it doesn’t slip off. One of the best purchases of my 2024 year even though it’s only the beginning! I highly recommend these couch covers. They are stretchy and super comfortable. I’m writing this review while sitting on my couch right now and I don’t want to leave! High quality and a happy customer!"




Now, this couch cover is perfect for those who have dogs and want to cover only some of the area, just the spaces where the dog is typically lying. This could also be used for other reasons, but I have seen many people who have dogs that shed a lot rave about this cover because they can easily take it on and take it off, unlike the normal big fabric type of couch cover.

People are loving the appearance & protection of their couches.
Based on how it performs, many are raving about it naturally. One reviewer, an Amazon Customer, writes, "My couch is 96" and I ordered the 91". The size is perfect as my dogs don't stay only in the seating area, they are labs and goldens and hang over the top and sides as well. This was the perfect amount of coverage, the fabric is soft and color is true to the photograph. I have a navy blue couch and ordered the black only because there was no navy. You literally cannot even tell it's got a cover on it until you get up close. It takes 2 minutes to put on, and 2 minutes to take off to wash. I haven't washed it yet, but will get back on here to let you know. I love it so much that I ordered 2 more for my club chairs which they jump up on as well. Great merchandise and price point. Ordered it last evening and it arrived before noon today. Awesome!"



Now, I have yet to own a sherpa-lined couch cover, and when I came across this one, I had to talk about it. I looked over everything, even the customer reviews, and I am definitely going to try these out for my sectional. This gives me the vibes of a small rug being draped across your actual couch based on how it looks. This product is in a lane all by itself, especially with how it is created. Instead of it being one big piece of fabric that you drape over your entire couch, these come into individual sections where you can lay wherever you want to protect. The backing is not scary, so it stays in place. It will not slide off even if you have a velvet couch like myself. Everybody is raving about the softness of this and how easy it is to utilize and wash.

People are loving the softness & ease of cleaning.
Based on how it performs, many are raving about it naturally. One reviewer, Kim Pizzimenti, writes, "I had over another product I saw on Instagram; it was thin and looked very cheap. This product was much less, it is thick, soft, thick and durable. Have washed a few times and really looks great - especially when you have dogs that can damage furniture :)"

Another Reviewer, Chele-deh, agrees and gives her own thoughts, writing, "These are very soft and easy to throw in washing machine. I have 3 dogs and 2 grandsons. I needed something that I can throw on furniture to protect but is easily washable. This did the trick. I love that they tick right into couch to stay in place. Very cozy. Dogs LOVE them. Inexpensive way to protect furniture and way cheaper than replacing damaged furniture. The grey does have a slight hint of blueish color however. That's the reason for my 4 star review"
