Covers for recliners can go a long way toward restoring your favorite resting spot. It seems as if a favorite chair has just gotten worn into perfect comfort when the upholstery starts to become threadbare. A recliner cover can provide the perfect solution, turning that worn chair into a beautiful piece that looks like new.

What are the uses of covers for recliners?

Recliner covers are a great way to cover up worn spots on old recliners, get ahead of the wear, turn slick, faux leather into cozy comfort with a fleece chair cover, or convert that ugly chair into something that matches the rest of your furnishings or at least complements them. Slip covering is slightly more exacting than just adding a throw cover. Whatever style cover you select, for whatever reason, covers for recliners can transform a chair that doesn’t fit your décor into the perfect seat – the one everyone wants to grab.

What are some of the most popular ideas for recliner covers?

Stretchy all-over cover. Measure your recliner before buying this one, as they come in different sizes. However, they can instantly transform that ugly yard sale or department store sale find into a comfy place to lounge that fits right in with the rest of your living room furniture. Some models even have a pocket for the television remote or reading material.
Fluffy seat, back, arms and footrest covers in various colors. The fluffy surface makes leather and faux leather recliner seats friendlier to tender skin, and cozier in winter. Team it up with a soft throw blanket, and you have the perfect combo for winter snuglies. The fluffy seat cover is also ideal for older users, helping to cushion bones that have little padding or tendencies toward decubitus.
Quilted seat covers can protect recliner upholstery of any sort, or hide worn places on that favorite chair. They are easily machine washable, helping eliminate stale body odors, pet depredation and even the ravages imposed upon upholstery by small sticky hands. Quilted seat covers can be made up or selected in a variety of colors and patterns that are easy to blend with your other furniture.

How to slipcover recliners?

Slipcovers are a more permanent solution to worn upholstery or colors that don’t fit with your décor. You can purchase ready-made slipcovers, or you can make your own. Here are some things to remember:

Allow extra fabric. It always takes longer and requires more material than you anticipate.
Make large-seam allowances.
Cut as if you were planning to upholster the back, sides, seat, and cushion. If there are already removable covers, use them as patterns.
Upholster the footrest separately from the body of the chair.
Check used recliners to make sure that whatever is wrong with them is something you can fix before purchasing.

Questions & Answers

What are the different types of slipcovers for recliners?

There are adjustable slipcovers, also known as furniture throws, which are great for irregular shape sofas and recliners, as well as ready-made slipcovers that fit the standard sizes of furniture. Then there are semi-custom slipcovers and custom slipcovers, for those who need something specific.

How to measure my recliner to be able to choose a proper cover?

Start by measuring the length of your furniture, from one outermost point to the other. Then, measure the height, starting from the spring to the tip of the back. Next, measure the seat area, accounting for cushions if any. Depth is then measured by measuring the side of the furniture. Finally, measure from the floor to the top, without cushions.

How to choose the color for my recliner cover?

The color is very important, as it has to work well with your recliner. Do not use too many contradictory colors, as this could overwhelm the room and create a chaotic effect. Stick to three colors in the room – the color of your covers can be the accent color. Alternatively, especially for elder people, it’s good if covers are of gentle colors like beige and brown, to allow for good rest and peaceful sleep.

How to choose the pattern of my recliner cover?

While patterns are there mainly for the aesthetic value, they are not without a meaning to the general space management of your interiors. As they can create visual illusions, it’s good to use them to their full potential. Vertical stripes make the furniture appear higher, while horizontal stripes increase the design weight – making your recliner more substantial and noticeable.

What about the materials from which slipcovers can be crafted?

Recliner covers can be made from wool, cotton, polyester, linen and spandex. Actually, any fabric or blend will do, but choose wisely – their characteristics vary. For example, if you need something durable, heavy cotton may be a good idea. However, if it is the aesthetics you care about, then thin slipcover made from cotton-spandex blend may be better.
