Red Barrel Studio®
What we like: Wrinkle-free for a sleek, polished look

This recliner chair cover is available in a range of colors, from red wine to taupe, so you are sure to find a match for most living room designs.

Patchwork Box Cushion Recliner Slipcover
Winston Porter
What we like: Charming patchwork design adds character to your chair
What we don’t like: Does not protect the entire surface area of the chair
This patchwork cushion slipcover is a comfortable and charming accessory for a recliner. It is manufactured from 100% microfiber polyester and features a soft gray floral patchwork pattern perfect for country homes. The suede-like finish and multiple color options ensure the cover is versatile for different interior designs, from modern chic to old-fashioned classic styles.
This cover is easy to secure in place, with elastic straps and cloth hooks. It is pet-friendly and helps keep your chair protected from fur and stains. While the cover doesn’t provide a very tight fit or cover the whole recliner, it is an excellent low-cost option.
Day Break Box Cushion Recliner Slipcovers
Kathy Ireland Home
What we like: Variety of colors to choose from to suit all design schemes
What we don’t like: You must measure carefully to ensure it fits your recliner
Chair protectors for recliners should be durable and versatile, and the Day Break slipcover is a one-size-fits-all piece made from 95% polyester and 5% spandex. This means it fits tightly onto your chair and can be easily adjusted. However, if you have an oversize recliner, you might notice that the elastic slips from the back in the fully reclined position.
While the design isn’t flashy, it has a subtle pique texture that works perfectly in formal sitting areas and family rooms. With twelve different fabric shades to choose from, you can find a cover that coordinates seamlessly with your other furniture.

Sofa Stretch Recliner Slipcover
Winston Porter
What we like: Material is soft and comfortable for lounging and relaxation
What we don’t like: Quality of the fit will vary for each recliner
If you’re in the market for upscale recliner chair protective covers for your living room, this stretch cover may not be the most suitable option. However, as an elasticated, spandex, and textured cover, it is easy to install and offers sufficient protection against stains and minor spills.
Despite the basic design, this cover is available in various colors, making it easy to select a match for your decor. While this piece is pet-friendly, it’s not water-resistant. However, this is still a great option if you need a protective layer to reduce stains and scuffs from children playing.

Print T Cushion Dog Print Recliner Slipcover
Winston Porter
What we like: Reversible for two patterns in one cover
What we don’t like: Only attached to the recliner by elastic edges
If your evenings are spent relaxing on your recliner with your four-legged friend on your lap, this might be the cover for you. Besides featuring a cute dog paw-print pattern, this is one of a few recliner chair covers with pockets. The pockets are convenient for storing your remote controls, books, tablets, or magazines.
This cover is reversible, so if you don’t want to display the dog print pattern when hosting guests, you can turn it over to display a plain tan side instead. A perfect choice for homes with kids or pets, the dog print recliner slipcover is machine washable for your convenience.

Super Soft Stretch Textured Slipcover
Wade Logan®
What we like: Storage pocket for easy access to your remote control or TV guide
What we don’t like: The cover may move around if not tucked in snugly
The textured grid slipcover is crafted from a soft-touch polyester blend. In addition to being a comfortable and cozy recliner cover, this slipcover has a stylish textured grid pattern. The geometric design gives depth to a recliner’s appearance and can drastically improve the look of worn furniture.
This material also features a recliner footrest cover. The stretch fabric ensures the cover can fit a wide range of chairs; however, it looks best when used on a standard box cushion model. On the right side of the cover, you’ll find a functional pocket for storing a remote control or smart device.

Form Fit Velvet Fit Stretch Box Cushion Recliner Slipcover
Winston Porter
What we like: Stunning contemporary look
What we don’t like: Fabric does not adjust to the shape of your recliner
Many recliner chair covers are one-size-fits-all fabrics that don’t necessarily fit the exact shape of the seat. This form-fit velvet cover not only protects your recliner from stains and tears but is designed to fit the precise dimensions of your chair, creating a more refined aesthetic when compared to looser options.
This is one of the best leather recliner covers because it is UV resistant, offering the ultimate protection for leather upholstery. In sunny climates, UV rays can cause significant damage and fading to leather, drawing out moisture and natural oils, contributing to cracks and tears.
$34.99
T Cushion Recliner Slipcover
World Menagerie
What we like: Pet-friendly and easy to clean
What we don’t like: Bold design that may not suit some design schemes
The T-cushion cover is sure to add flair to your room. It features a combination of bold animal print designs on a microfiber and microsuede material. These fabrics are highly resistant to spills and stains, giving your chair excellent protection. The elastic edges make installation easy, but while the cover effectively prevents stains, it doesn't cover the entire surface of the chair.
This slipcover is both pet-friendly and machine washable, making animal clean-ups easier. The sidearm features a small storage pocket for your remote control.
