If you’re considering buying a couch cover, don’t.
Until you read this.
Most of what’s advertised on Facebook is built to fail. Thin fabric. Fits nothing. Slides off the first time anyone sits down. Three minutes down this page you’ll know how to spot the ones worth buying.

The one spec they don’t want you to see
The one number every couch cover brand hopes you don’t learn.
GSM — grams per square metre — is how fabric is weighed. It’s the single most important spec in a couch cover, and it’s the one almost no brand will show you.
Covers advertised on Facebook sit below 200 GSM. That’s bedsheet territory — thin in your hands, slides off the cushion, pills after three washes. It’s what most Facebook brands are selling you.
Above 200 is where you start buying something that was actually built to be a couch cover.

The buyer’s checklist
Three things a proper cover does.
Cheap ones don’t.
-
01
It fits each cushion individually.
Cheap stretch sheets slide. Blankets bunch. Fitted covers stretch tight to each cushion and stay. Dogs jumping up, kids climbing on, dinner on the couch — doesn’t move. Put it on once. That’s it.
-
02
The fabric is above the 200 GSM line.
Below 200 is a bedsheet with marketing. Above 200 is a cover. If a brand won’t publish their number, you already know why.
-
03
The brand is actually reachable and ships locally.
No local return address? You’re not getting your money back. No warranty, no contact email, no humans? You’re alone the moment anything goes wrong. If you can’t reach a brand before you buy, you definitely can’t reach them after.

The honest part
The honest limitations of a couch cover.
Most brands won’t tell you this. We will — because the wrong product in the wrong house ends in a return, a bad review, and a customer we’ve lost forever. Here’s what every couch cover can and can’t do, and which one in our range fits which household.
Most covers aren’t waterproof.
Chenille, fleece, bouclé — woven fabrics absorb liquid eventually. Classic holds thick spills on the surface long enough to wipe them. For toddlers in the cup-tipping phase or pets with incontinence, you need Performance+. Fully waterproof layer — nothing gets through.
Fitted covers need removable cushions.
A fitted cover like Classic works by stretching tight onto each cushion individually. If your couch has fixed cushions that don’t come off, there’s nothing to stretch onto. For those couches you need a drape-style cover that goes over the whole frame. That’s the Throw Protector.
No fabric is actually indestructible.
A 55kg dog that digs will damage any woven textile over time. Any cover — Classic, Performance+, Throw Protector — will slow the wear and absorb the hit instead of your couch. But nothing short of leather is actually scratch-proof, and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying.
Classic for most households. Performance+ for serious spills. Throw Protector for fixed cushions.

What people say
What 1,588 reviews actually say.
“They have given my couch a new lease of life.”
NHNatasha H.Verified buyer
“Best of all, they really do seem to repel the dirt. My old covers I was washing weekly from muddy dog paws. Three weeks in and still not a mark on them.”
RWRebecca W.Verified buyer
“They are amazing for stopping the everyday mess from kids. They look great. Don’t spend every morning readjusting them like I did with blankets.”

Common questions
The questions we get most.
Will it actually fit my couch?
Classic fits 99.9% of removable-cushion couches worldwide — standard, chaise, T-shape, curved. If your cushions don’t come off, buy the Throw Protector instead.
Does it really stay in place?
Each cover is stretched to lock onto a single cushion. It doesn’t drape, it doesn’t slide, and it doesn’t need readjusting through daily use.
How do I wash it?
Pull it off, cold machine wash on gentle, tumble dry on low, put it back on. Rated for 1,000+ wash cycles.
What if it doesn’t fit when it arrives?
30-day money-back guarantee. Email us within 30 days and we’ll refund you. Local returns, no overseas shipping.
What’s the difference between Classic and Performance+?
Classic is for everyday mess — spills, hair, worn patches, daily use. Performance+ is waterproof and heavier (400 GSM vs above the 200 line). If you have serious spill volume or a toddler in the cup-tipping phase, buy Performance+.
