Most anyone putting off the expense of buying new furniture and looking for an alternative should look no further than Sure Fit.Our house is quite old over 70 years and although our leather living room furniture wears like iron - the upholstered sofa and easy chair in our sun room has seen better days. Thank's to our Bulldogs, the welting on the cushions has been chewed, the cushions have compressed and look is now anything but Grande.The idea kicked in my slow moving brain cells to look into slip covers. My brief and limited experience with them is that most of them look pretty awful. However it was the Sure Fit brand we kept coming back to.We purchased the sofa and chair in Sable and couldn't be more pleased. Not only do they look sensational, they stay in place and are so over-sized they make for a tailored, crisp and excellent fit.Sure Fit has been around since 1914 and their product has always been slip covers for most any style of furniture you can imagine. It's worth visiting their web site at sure fit dot com to learn a bit more about the materials, workmanship and variety of styles. The prices however are significantly higher than by purchasing on Amazon - well, no surprise there.The Sable color is gorgeous, a beige with a light gray hue it's transitional so the color doesn't overwhelm and all it takes is a few pillows, or a throw to get the burst of color you're looking for.The box stitching is exceptional, the feel is soft and comfy cozy, full welting along the entire perimeter, wonderfully over sized so there's enough material to really define the look of your cushions and arm rests - and for the most part they stay in place. But of course they still need some attention to keep them looking top notch.Some Quality Touches are:* Box stitching has the look of Upholstery* 100% color-fast the dyes are deeply saturated and there's no transfer of color to clothing of objects.* High Tensile Strength stitching - because these covers can stretch the stitching can stretch as well with compromising the build quality.* Soft stay put backing* Extra fill for a bit of added comfort* Odor resistant* Protective finish is stain resistant and has a marvelous feel* Machine washable (Stay Fit Guarantees less than 5% shrinkage)Unlike the multi piece sets - the one piece design doesn't shift easily. If I had one complaint it's that the Stay Put plastic wedges that literally 'lock" the cover in place are no included and to purchase them the cost is the same as the slip cover itself.They're effortless to put on and adjust. In a few minutes our Sun Room has a complete make over. The covers are simply sensational. If you're on the fence about purchasing one or more of these I would urge you to give them a try as you're bound to love both the look and performance.Highly Recommended.
