I’ve had a slpcover on my two living room couches since the day I bought them nine years ago.

They look almost as new as they did when I bought them.

Slip covers may sound like a nice, attractive idea, but I’ve found that in reality they’re kind of a pain. The fabric is always sliding around and you’re constantly having to readjust/retuck the fabric.

Yes, they’re easier to clean, but I don’t find the occasional cleaning issue to be worth the trade off for all that daily tucking. No grandkids here yet but when we do reach that point I’ll probably just throw blankets or towels over the furniture when they’re visiting.

When we want to change out our furniture, we usually go to CraigsList or Freecycle. We recently replaced a sectional with a couch & loveseat. Total cost was zero. Paid $150 for the 2 pieces, sold the sectional for $150…it was old and the recliners didn’t work any more, but someone made good use of it.
