How to choose your slipcover fabric

Everything you need to know about selecting the right sofa fabric for your home and lifestyle

Consider your cats (erm, kids).

Dog biting on a pet-friendly Claw-proof Velvet Rose sofa slipcover
If you're a cat, dog or human parent or all three, you'll want to make sure your sofa's pretty much life-proof.

This means going for a fabric that's not just durable, but also resistant to liquid spills and scratches.

No pets or little humans to watch out for? Then ditch the tougher weaves for pure comfort with our ultra-soft fabrics that have you cozy as a clam.

Natural or human-made: Which floats your boat?

It all depends on how you plan to use your sofa (not as a trampoline, hopefully).

If you're a big fan of napping and *ahem* reading like we are, you'll do really well with a natural, breathable fabric like pure cotton and linen.

Need something a little more um, shall we say...enduring? Then you're better off with a synthetic blend with a tighter, smoother and less liquid-absorbent weave like polyester.

What’s the point in buying a sofa slipcover – or any piece of furniture – without having a little bit of fun with the way it magically transforms your space?

Now’s the time to let your inner interior designer run free. Some questions to consider asking yourself:“Is my space warm, neutral or just too cool for school?”; “Do I want everything to be matchy-matchy or make eyeballs pop with contrast?”; “Will this colour match my dog’s fur perfectly?”.

You know, stuff like that.
