Whether your couch is brand-new or decades old, a washable slipcover will help to keep it looking fresh at all times. No reupholstering necessary!
Sofa covers generally come in two designs: They're either made of separate pieces of flexible fabric that completely encase the base of the couch and cushions, or they comprise thick pads of material that simply drape over the seat and stay securely in place with included straps. The latter option is better for temporary purposes (e.g., keeping your sofa mess-free while pet-sitting), while the former design is meant for ongoing use.
Whether you want to completely recover an old sofa in a new hue or are trying to find a close match for the color and texture of your current seat, these quick and simple solutions allow you to get the look you want on a dime. Easily safeguard your family's favorite seat from your kids' craft projects, muddy paws, and the occasional beverage spill with these top-rated couch covers.

This machine-washable, two-piece cover fits couches in a range of sizes, giving you the ability to tuck and adjust it for a virtually seamless style. It also comes in sizes for covering chairs and loveseats, too.
Because this polyester-blend sofa cover isn't stretchy, it may not be as soft — but it won't have the bumpy texture that some elasticized materials do.

This patchwork sofa cover looks right at home draped across any loveseat. Unlike your family's heirloom quilt, this reviewer-favorite cover is meant to help shield the back, arms, and seat of your sofa from spills and messes.
However, it doesn't grip as well as some other styles, so keep in mind that you'll have to tuck it into your seat cushions.

These armrest covers come in a pair, and are made of the same polyester/spandex blend as many full-sized covers. This particular model fits arms between 6.5 and 8 inches wide — and yes, they work with rounded or square sofa arms, according to reviewers.
And no need to contrast as drastically as the picture shows! These come in 22 solid colors, so you can find a near-perfect upholstery match.

“I’ve used this cover to match an ottoman to my navy-colored loveseat for a more cohesive, sofa-chaise look,” says senior home editor Melanie Yates. But because it's velvet, you'll want to make sure you have a lint roller on hand to get rid of any dust or hair that clings to it.
