Winston Porter
$32.84 $123.99
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.

Buying Guide
Caroline is a young, New York-based interior designer and home decor writer, obsessed with textiles and designer furniture. Backed with rigorous training from a prestigious design school, as well as a profound understanding of material quality and fabric care, she offers spot-on advice on how to furnish your place with reliable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing pieces.
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.
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.
- 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.
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.
