Breezy Bubbles Chenille Sofa Cover

A chenille cover with a raised bubble weave running across it, which gives the surface a soft relief texture rather than the flat finish most sofa covers settle for. It behaves as three things at once: a protective layer over upholstery that has seen better days, a throw for the back of the sofa, and a decorative textile in its own right.

Four sizes are offered, running from 180 x 130cm for an armchair or a two-seat sofa up to 180 x 340cm for a large corner arrangement. Measuring across the back of the sofa and down both arms before choosing is worth the two minutes; a cover that is slightly too generous tucks in beautifully, while one that is too short never looks right no matter how it is arranged.

The practical case is the strongest one. A cover like this takes the wear that would otherwise land on the upholstery - claws, spills, sun fading down one end of a sofa - and it goes in the washing machine, which a sofa does not. Machine wash cold, tumble dry on low or air dry. Chenille is breathable enough to use year round rather than only through winter, and it does not trap heat the way a fleece cover does.
