The Snugsie blanket is double layered with super soft flannel fleece on one side and a seriously warming sherpa fleece lining on the other, and at 180×240 cm it’s big enough to cover a king-size bed if you just can’t leave it on the sofa. If you want to use it as an elegant sofa cover though, try folding it in half twice and then draping it over the sofa’s arm, or you can drape it across one sofa corner and add a throw pillow to create the perfect cosy look. Washing: Velvet is hand wash only. If your washing machine has a hand wash program, you can use that too. The luxurious fabric can only be washed in cold water. This is important so that the sofa covers stay intact. We all love a cosy evening spent lazing on the sofa, but keeping your furniture in tip-top condition can be a struggle – especially in a busy household. That’s why the best sofa covers are a perfect solution. Often referred to as a slipcover, these innovative creations are pretty much what they sound like: a fitted removable cover that helps protect your expensive sofa from stains, spills, pet hair, pet claws, and anything else that may damage or wear it out. As it’s removable, a sofa cover can be easily washed or changed out for a fresh cover whenever needed and saves you from having to wash, clean or reupholster the sofa cushions themselves. Knowing your sofa’s measurements is somewhat crucial when purchasing a sofa cover. You’ll need the overall length, depth, width and height, along with the distance from the legs to the floor if your slipcover has a skirt. For separate cushion protectors, you’ll need individual height, length and depth measurements of these too. Anything else I should bear in mind?
