The Best Couch Covers for Keeping Your Sofa Protected
Couch covers are a great way to protect your sofa and refresh your home decor without replacing your furniture. Plus, they come in endless styles, materials, sizes, colors, and patterns to suit any space.
To find the best couch covers, we spent hours researching the market while considering factors like ease of cleaning, size, materials, style, and price. We also spoke to Jessica Sommer, VP of Maverick Design and Wedgwood Homes, for her expert insight on finding the right cover for your couch or sofa.
“Fit, aesthetics, and quality are everything when it comes to updating your sofa with a couch cover,” Sommer says. “While some people are looking to protect their sofa with a cover, more often than not, the goal is to change the look and improve the design of the space. When looking for the best couch covers for you, look for a color and texture that will help refresh your home.”

It's made of thick, high-quality material that's durable and looks a lot more expensive than it is.

The color options are limited.
Made from pure cotton that is thick, durable, and looks a lot more expensive than it is, SureFit’s sofa slipcover is an excellent way to give your couch a much-needed makeover while keeping it protected at the same time.
Not only does this cover look chic, but it’s also spill- and rip-resistant, meaning it’s suitable for homes with kids and pets. It’s easy to clean in the washing machine, and you can even throw it in the dryer on low. The cover fits standard-sized couches from 74 to 96 inches, with arms up to 11 inches wide.
This pick has corner ties to secure it in place and elastic on the seats to make it more form-fitting. It also comes in a range of sizes, with options for box-type three-seater couches, armchairs, loveseats, and ottomans available. While we wish there were more color options, the elegant blue and natural beige can suit a range of decor styles.
Sizes: Ottoman, armchair, loveseat, sofa | Material: Cotton | Care: Machine-washable in cold water, warm iron

It's available in seven sizes and a large range of colors.

It doesn't have a non-slip backing, so it's not suitable for leather couches.
Available in over 35 colors and seven sizes (for four-seaters, loveseats, armchairs, and more), the Easy-Going Stretch Sofa Slipcover is an affordable option for anyone who wants to cover their couch on a budget. This couch cover is made of a soft polyester Jacquard fabric and spandex to keep it stretchy but shaped to your sofa.
It has elastic around the bottom to keep it in place and several anti-slip foam strips to prevent it from sliding off as soon as you sit down. There are also oversized options for your larger-than-average furniture. It’s not the thickest or most durable slipcover available, but at this low price, you can buy two and swap them out when one is in the wash or you want a color change.
You can clean it in the washer on a low setting, but it’s best to use mild laundry detergents and avoid bleach. This cover is ideal for fabric sofas that it sticks to, as you might find yourself slipping and sliding if you put it on a leather couch.
Sizes: Chair, oversized chair, loveseat, oversized loveseat, sofa, oversized sofa, four-seater sofa | Material: Polyester, spandex | Care: Machine-washable in warm water
