No measuring over the arms, no wrestling with stretch fabric, no worrying whether it will fit your sofa's shape. Here is the simplest way to make a tired sofa look new again, and the four questions everyone asks first.
The Chenille Herringbone Draped Sofa Cover, one piece over an everyday sofa.
Most sofas do not get replaced because they stop working. They get replaced because they start looking tired.
The frame is fine. The cushions still hold you. But the fabric has faded, there is a mark on the arm that never came out, and the dog has claimed one end as its own. So the choice looks like living with it, or spending a thousand dollars or more and waiting weeks for a new one.
Fitted stretch covers are one fix, but they have to match your sofa's exact size and shape. A lot of people have found an easier route: one big piece of soft herringbone chenille that you simply drape over the sofa and tuck in. It works on almost any sofa, it takes a couple of minutes, and there is nothing to line up.
It is a fair worry. Most sofa throws are thin, slippery and a little sad. They slide around, they show every crease and everyone can tell it is hiding something.
This one is different in the two ways that matter. It is a heavy, soft chenille woven in a classic herringbone pattern, so it has real weight and drapes in deep, even folds instead of clinging. And it is big enough to cover the whole sofa: over the back cushions, across the seat, down the front and over both arms, finished with a tassel edge. It looks chosen, not thrown on.
One piece over the back, seat and arms. Soft, relaxed and made for sitting on.
Run a hand across it and you feel the chenille first: a soft, velvety pile woven into a herringbone texture that catches the light. It feels like a good blanket, which is exactly how people end up using it.
Many owners say their sofa is cozier with it on than it ever was without it.
Yes, if you tuck it. That is the whole trick, and it takes seconds.
Lay the cover over the sofa with an even overhang at each end, smooth it across the seat, then push the fabric firmly down into the gap between the seat and back cushions, and down the sides of the seat. The tucked fabric anchors it from the middle, and the weight of the chenille keeps it lying flat. The deeper the tuck, the neater it stays.
Drape it, smooth it, tuck it. That is the whole install.
There are no zips, straps or elastic, and no arm seams to line up. Being a throw, it can shift a little with everyday use. A quick smooth and re-tuck puts it straight back, and it comes off just as fast when you want to wash it.
This is where a draped cover really shines. Because it is one loose piece, it does not need to match your sofa's exact shape. Curved arms, a chaise, an odd-sized sofa: it simply drapes over what you have.
And sizing takes seconds. Measure your sofa straight across, from the outside of one arm to the outside of the other, the same width you would find in its product listing. No measuring over the arms. Then pick the size that covers that width.
| Size | Sofa width (straight across) |
|---|---|
| 1 Seater | Armchairs up to 45 inches |
| 2 Seater | 46 to 65 inches |
| 3 Seater | 66 to 92 inches |
| 4 Seater | 93 to 108 inches |
| 5 Seater | 109 to 140 inches |
Between two sizes? Choose the bigger one, extra fabric just tucks in. Every size is 71 inches front to back, enough to drape over the back cushions, across the seat and down the front of most sofas. L-shaped sofa? Measure each side and order one cover for each in the same color.
A sofa cover is not made for a recliner, because the back tilts and the footrest swings out, pulling any one-piece cover out of place.
So we made one that is. Our Recliner Cover comes in 4 separate pieces: the backrest, the seat and footrest, and each arm. Every part moves freely, so the chair reclines exactly as it did before. It fits most single recliners and comes in seven colors.
This is the reason a lot of people buy one in the first place. The cover takes the hair, the muddy paws, the crumbs and the juice, so your actual sofa does not.
When it needs a clean, it lifts off in seconds and goes straight in the washing machine on a cool, gentle cycle. Air dry it, throw it back on, and the sofa looks fresh again. Try doing that with the fabric that came on your sofa.
The dog still gets their end. The sofa underneath stays clean.

Measure straight across the front, from the outside of one arm to the outside of the other. Match that width to the size chart. If you are between two sizes, choose the bigger one.
A fitted cover hugs the sofa for a tailored look, so it has to match your sofa's exact size and shape. This is one loose piece you drape over and tuck in. It is far easier to size, works on almost any shape, and has a relaxed, cozy look rather than a tailored one.
It drapes over the top of the back cushions, across the seat and down the front. Every size is 71 inches front to back, which suits most sofas up to about 40 inches deep. It is not designed to cover the outside back down to the floor, so it suits sofas that sit against a wall.
Yes. Measure the straight width of each side and order a cover for each in the same color. A chaise usually takes a 1 Seater or 2 Seater laid lengthways.
A sofa cover is not made for a recliner chair. Use our 4-piece Recliner Cover, which lets the chair recline as normal.
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle, then air dry. It goes straight back on the sofa.
