Measurement should be taken
Use a tape measure to take some measurements. Make sure you note down the proper length, width and height for your sofa. Utilize the highest point on the back, the longest between the outer edges of the arms and the depth from the back of the count to the front side. Leave a little room for tucking so that the slipcover can be snug. -

Take your choice of style into account
You need to cater for what is most pleasing on your eyes, compare it with the room requirements and then select. The couch covers can be flat or fitted, same like bed sheets and you can fill in the right laces, in order to give your sofa a trendier look. You can also use arms in order to give the sofa a fitted look. -

Consider the Material
Couch slipcovers are usually made with fibre blends which can be machine washed when needed. Other type of covers need to be dry cleaned, and that itself is a long process. Pick a slipcover having a covering material which can be washed several times during the course of the year. -

Make a budget
The fancier the slipcover, the more it is going to cost. If the material is good and has a beautiful texture, the equation will remain the same. The important thing to remember is that the more you look around and search for the slipcover, the better you will get at analyzing the cost.
