Do slipcovers generally fit couch's the way they are supposed to? ?

Question

I want to get one for my couch but I am afraid that it won't look right. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Buy a new couch from IKEA.  Slipcovers are generally unsightly and ill-fitting.

Answer 2

All I can say is save your money..

Been there done it and wasted my money. Make do with what you have.

Answer 3

I would say for the most part, no.  They're usually baggy but maybe that's just the style?  Here's a great website for slipcovers: http://www.allaboutslipcovers that I was referred to.  This site explains all of the different slipcovers that are available and much more.  I hope it helps you.

Answer 4

I have bought two in the past five years one worked OK, but not that great the other did not fit at all and looked bad after someone sat it it. That sofa and loveseat have been replaced.
