Sofa Slipcover Ideas

Most sofa covers are made from synthetic   materials, mostly some kind of   polyester.    This is because it is easy to make polyester stain resistant, fade   resistant, and water resistant, often the point of seat covers.  It also makes for a cheaper protective   cover.  You can also get a variety of   styles in polyester, from matte, subtle looks to high-gloss floral prints.  

However, the disadvantages of polyester are that it doesn’t   breathe and can have a glossier synthetic look, which many people associate   with looking cheap.  However, some   plastics can look more classic and matte.

Below are some of the types of plastics you’ll see, plus one more   option. 

•     velvet: This luscious texture works well with   stylish room styles.  You can’t beat   the softness either.  Note, however,   that velvet is usually made from blends of polyester.
