Fitting in 5 steps

2 minutes at most, no tools

Find the BACK label
A label sewn into the cover shows which way it goes on: find it before you start. The cover looks small when you unpack it: that's normal, it stretches.
Start at the top of the back
Centre the cover on the back, then pull the fabric over the seat and the arms, evenly on both sides. Wingback chair: fit it over the wings first. No need to remove the seat cushion.
Tie the cords
Once the armchair is covered, tie the cords together underneath it.
Insert the foam tuck-in sticks
Push the foam tuck-in sticks provided into the gaps between the seat, the back and the arms: they wedge in the excess fabric.
Adjust
Smooth the fabric by hand, from the centre to the edges, then tuck the excess into the gaps. Do this again whenever the fabric has moved.

Cover a little tight when you unpack it? The fabric relaxes once it's on.

Description

The round living-room armchair, in wipe-clean faux leather

A tub chair has no corners: its back wraps around you and its arms curve in one sweep. An ordinary armchair cover bags on it. This one is cut for that shape — a low, curved back and solid arms — in a faux leather that stretches both ways.

The surface is sealed and smooth, with a soft sheen: a spill does not soak into the material and wipes off with a damp sponge. It's the material for the armchair in a child's bedroom, the TV corner where everyone snacks, the living room shared with a cat.

It goes on without tools: slip it over the back, pull it over the arms, and tuck the edge between the seat and the back. In 2 minutes at most.

It also suits single club chairs and Scandinavian-style armchairs with a low back and solid arms. Chair measurements: 70 to 90 cm high, 65 to 95 cm wide, top of the back 55 to 75 cm, seat 35 to 55 cm wide. A chair with a high back and side wings needs the wingback chair cover, cut for it.

How many you need

One cover fits one chair: back, arms and seat in one piece. Just one per chair.

Free delivery on orders of £85 or more, plus two free cushion covers: you choose them in your basket.

Care

Wipe clean with a damp sponge, no cleaning product needed. Not machine washable.

The thirteen colours

Pearl grey, Pebble grey, Onyx black, Ivory, Taupe, Mahogany, Garnet, Almond green, Golden yellow, Royal blue, Azure blue, Tangerine and Military green.

Ten of these colours are also available on our other faux leather covers — dining chair, sofa cushion, 40 × 40 cm cushion, click-clack sofa bed, throw — under the same name and in the same faux leather.

Sizing and fitting

Each armchair shape has its own cover, in a single size: first identify the shape of yours, then check its measurements.

How to measure

Classic armchair, with a straight back and arms: measure from one arm to the other, following the shape of the chair, arms included, with the tape measure flat against the fabric. The cover fits 90 to 140 cm. Beyond that, choose the sofa cover in the 2-seater size (from 145 cm), in stretch, water-repellent jacquard or velvet. Check the depth too: from the top of the back to the front edge of the seat, following the fabric, 140 cm at most.
Tub chair, club chair or Scandinavian-style armchair, with a low back and solid arms: it has its own cover, in one size, cut for this shape: 70 to 90 cm high, 65 to 95 cm wide, top of the back 55 to 75 cm, seat 35 to 55 cm wide.
Wingback chair: 69 to 80 cm wide at the top, wings included, 95 to 110 cm high, 80 to 92 cm deep from front to back.

Fitting

Centre the cover on the back, slip it on from the top, pull it down with both hands, tie the cords under the chair, then tuck the foam tuck-in sticks into the gaps. Two minutes at most, no tools, no need to remove the cushion.
Wingback chair: fit the cover over the wings first, then pull it down.

Care

The surface is sealed: nothing soaks through, and hair and liquids sit on top. Keep it out of the washing machine — it could make the coating peel. A cloth does the same job, with no risk.

Day to day

A well wrung-out sponge or a damp cloth, with lukewarm water and a little mild soap if needed, including for greasy marks, in light circular movements.
Wipe dry with a cloth to avoid watermarks; faux leather is cleaned in place, without taking it off.
Pet hair slides off: a sweep of the hand or a cloth removes it.

Washing

No washing machine, no soaking, no harsh detergent.

Drying

Air dry, away from radiators and hairdryers, and out of direct sunlight, which dries out the coating.

Avoid

Washing machine, tumble dryer, bleach, alcohol, acetone, abrasive sponges, direct heat.

Your questions about this product

Will it fit my armchair?

It’s cut for a tub chair: a low, curved back and solid arms. It also fits single-seat club chairs and Scandinavian-style armchairs of this shape. An armchair with a high back and side wings needs the wingback chair cover. Measurements: 70 to 90 cm high, 65 to 95 cm wide, top of the back 55 to 75 cm, seat 35 to 55 cm wide.

Are there several sizes?

Just one, cut for tub chairs and club chairs: 65 to 95 cm wide and 70 to 90 cm high. If your chair is outside these measurements, email us a photo at contact@thesofacoverhouse.com before you order.

Is the faux leather stiff?

No: it’s backed with a stretch knit, so it stretches both ways and pulls snugly over the shape of the furniture. It feels a little firmer than fabric.

How do I clean the faux leather?

Wipe it with a damp sponge, with mild soap if needed, then a dry cloth to avoid marks. No washing machine and no soaking: the machine could make the coating peel off.

What if I have a cat or a dog?

Hair doesn’t cling to a smooth surface — a cloth wipes it off — and liquids stay on top. A cat that uses it as a scratching post will mark it, just as it would mark real leather: the cover protects your furniture, not itself.

Can I return it if I don’t like it?

Yes: you have a 30-day money-back guarantee from delivery, even if you simply change your mind. Email us at contact@thesofacoverhouse.com with your order number: we reply with the return address and instructions. Return postage is paid by you, and we refund you within 24 hours of receiving the return, to your original payment method.
