Easy Care & Cleaning:The biggest benefit of having slipcovered furniture other than the classic, timeless style is the fact that the slipcovers can easily be removed and cleaned.  Unlike upholstered furniture, slipcovers simply slide off and can be washed when you have a little mishap.

Cotton: The cottons we offer as well as many other fabrics are pre-washed so you don’t have to worry about shrinkage when washing in your machine at home. When it comes to machine washing at home, we recommend you use a low-enzyme detergent with no bluing agents in cool water and on the gentle cycle. When drying, we recommend removing the slipcovers from the dryer while still damp and placing them on the furniture to have the best end result. Pre-washed slipcovers can also be professionally laundered. 

Performance:Sunbrella & Outdura fabrics are made of acrylic and are both stain, mildew and fade resistant. In the past these fabrics were primarily used on outdoor furniture, but with the quality and softness of today's technology, these materials are a highly desired option for indoor slipcovered furniture. These make a great choice for a busy household. When washing performance fabrics at home, allow to air dry only and place on the piece almost dry. Some fabrics based on their content, will require professional cleaning and/or dry cleaning. The recommended cleaning is determined by the content and whether it is pre-washed. So when selecting the fabric be sure to keep these factors in mind. 

Back-Up Set:Many customers buy two slipcovers at the initial purchase which makes it easy to take one set off and have another fresh set to put on while cleaning. Ask about our special discount when ordering a second slipcover upon the initial slipcovered furniture purchase to allow our customers the convenience of having a set during cleaning as well as having the option for different color of fabric for seasonal changes. 

Endless Styles & Designs:There are a variety of options to choose from with endless styles and designs of slipcovered furniture that help define the overall look or feel you want for your space: 

Overall Shape: The length, depth and height of the seating piece you are choosing is selected based on the customer's height and the desired use of the sofa.

Arms:  Select the size, height, shape and angle of the arm based on how you use the seating. 

Seats: Choose the desired depth of the sofa, the fill: foam/firm, feathers/soft, shape: T-cushion, square and type of seat cushions: three seats, two seats or bench seat.

Backs: The back cushion options are box back, rounded back or throw pillows. The fill can be a recycled trillium fiber or down blend. 

Slipcover Fit: The fit of the slipcover is more about the style the more fitted is cleaner and simpler whereas the looser fit has a more “shabby chic” look. In between the two is most popular and will never look dated. 

Best Selling Styles: The most popular that is tried and true to coastal style is the classic rolled arm slipcovered furniture covered in a warm white duck cotton slipcover with eco-down cushions. The next most popular is the track arm in a bleached white denim slipcover which again has the same variations to pick from as listed above based on the customers style and needs. 

Custom Fabric Options:Any of our slipcovered furniture pieces can be customized and ordered with C.O.M (customer owned material). Typically this raises the cost and the lead time, but it allows you to customize the piece of slipcovered furniture with a personal choice of material, making it truly unique to you.  

Unmatched Comfort: Slipcovered furniture is made for comfort with relaxed coastal living in mind - bathing suits, sandy feet and wet dogs are all welcome. Washable slipcovered furniture is kid and pet friendly making it stress free and a joyful living. The classic rolled arm slipcovered sofa is the perfect place to curl up for an afternoon nap, read a book and can also serve as a great spare bed for guests. 

Sunroom & Outdoor Capable: The latest trends lean toward bringng the outdoors in and the indoors out,  making your home a great place for entertaining for big gatherings. 

For the Indoors: slipcovered furniture can be covered in denim cotton twills for easy use or sunbrella fabric for higher traffic homes. 

For Covered Sun Rooms or Outside Spaces: these can be furnished to look like an additional living area with outdoor friendly slipcovered furniture made for enduring the elements. Outdoor slipcovered furniture is crafted to allow for water and moisture to run through the cushions and frame. Outdoor slipcovered pieces have cushions are mold and mildew resistant as well as being covered with today's comfortable performance fabric options. 

Surprisingly Affordable:  With the wide variety of styles, fabrics and cushions offered, there is a wide range of pricing options that can be customized to fit any budget. The beauty of investing in slipcovered furniture is the base construction of the furniture itself can last a lifetime with normal residential use, so when the slipcover ever becomes worn or stained you can simply replace the slipcover thus creating the look of a brand new sofa. Most all of our slipcovered collections maintain an archive of the slipcover pattern so even if a collection is discontinued you will always be able to order a new slipcover. Replacement seat and back cushions are also an option to order, if desired.  

Slipcovers can be manufactured from a variety of fabric types. The most popular fabric choice for the slipcovers are cotton, linen and performance fabrics such as Sunbrella, Crypton or Outdura. 

Denim Cotton Twill, is by far, the most popular fabric choice for slipcovered furniture. The reason being is that denim is a heavy-weight cotton twill making it extremely durable, comfortable and washable. Denim slipcovers are like a pair of your favorite jeans the more you wash them the more comfortable they feel. Denim is available in white, tan, blue, gray and red dye lots. 

Cotton slipcover fabric is made of 100% cotton is also a very popular fabric for slipcovers. Pre-Washed cotton doesn’t shrink, it is very comfortable to the touch and is easy to clean. We also offer 100% Organic Cotton. 

Performance fabric like Sunbrella Acrylic fabric is made to withstand outdoor elements has become a top choice for indoors for homes with heavy use. The fabric is both fade and stain resistant while still being soft and comfortable making it a great choice. These are also great for kid & pet-friendly homes.

Belgian 100% Linen or Pre-washed Linen blends are the best option when you want that relaxed, yet sophisticated look. Linen slipcovers have a beautiful way of covering the frame effortlessly with a natural, loose flow. Most are user friendly and washable. 

Stripes & Plaids can be great for a sofa or accent chair. A bold navy stripe is perfect for a nautically designed style while plaids used in slipcovers are most popular for lake houses or houses in the mountains. 

By far the most popular fabric color for slipcovered furniture is white. White fabric can be from a variety of contents such as cotton, linen and performance fabrics. There are many variations of the color white to select from and you can’t go wrong with any one of them - whether it be a warm white or a bleached white or somewhere in between. Next most popular are neutrals-linen and natural tans. With these lighter, neutral tones, you can pull in any accent color you wish. Finally, we offer a wide variety of blues from sky to navy as well as shades  and variations of grays, reds, stripes and patterns combing colors.

There is no comparison to a.) furniture that is manufactured with slipcovers whereas the slipcover is made for that specific frame, to b.) furniture that is upholstered and a generic slipcover is bought to cover the originally upholstered sofa. 

Because Our Boat House specializes in slipcovered seating, we do have requests from customers who have furniture that is similar in appearance to our furniture or has similar dimensions and they wish to purchase slipcovers for the furniture. This is not something we can provide and the reason is that a professionally made slipcover from our manufacturers is made as an exact fit for a specific frame. Unfortunately, a custom slipcover from Our Boat House cannot be ordered for any sofa as it will never fit properly or look appropriate on a frame that varies in any way. 

We highly recommend that if you like slipcovered furniture, simply buy from a manufacturer that specializes in the muslin-covered special frames and custom slipcovers. If a customer would like to have a sofa or special piece slipcovered, we recommend using a professional seamstress to custom make a slipcover for that piece.

What about purchasing generic fabric, fitted/elastic slipcovers? Furniture covers such as sofas slipcovered from generic slipcovers really don’t compare to actual designer slipcovered fabric cushions. The fit rarely works for all pieces that exist. Having to neaten the extra material, tuck in or tie every time you get up can quickly become old and tiresome. Elastic can look sloppy and ill-fitting as well.

"I love the idea of changing the look of my living room simply by switching out the slipcover!"

- Carol G. Boca Raton, FL 

"My wife and I were in the market for new seating and we did not want worry about the grandkids, the sand they have on their feet or our two labs getting on the furniture. We decided to go with a slipcovered sectional and it's the best thing we have done in a while. The whole family piles up for movie time, we nap, we snack, we truly use and enjoy the furniture without worrying about anything. We wash it, dry it a little and put it back on! Highly recommend for a busy family."

-Gary M. Stratham, NH

"I love my new St. Barts sofa. I never thought I would go with a white sofa, but it looks so clean, inviting and beachy plus it's really easy to maintain. The size and style fits perfectly in my condo. I love it!!"

-Amber J. San Diego, California

Another alternative is to have one side done in a slipcovered bench which keeps the space open and airy and provides for more seating than side chairs.

A loose or fitted slipcover in a washed white linen is a favorite for a master bedroom. A white or colorful cotton slipcovered headboard is a favorite for the kids or guest room in every cottage or beach house where you want your kids to have fun and guests to feel welcome.

Can you wash slipcovered fabric? People who buy slipcovered furniture do so because they want the look, the comfort and equally important is the worry-free lifestyle that it affords. Many slipcovered fabrics are machine washable for this reason. The fabric is pre-washed prior to manufacturing the slipcover so there is no worry about shrinkage. Sunbrella fabrics are also a great option and these fabrics are extremely durable, washable and both stain and fade resistant. There are also many fabrics to choose from that are not washable but can be easily dry cleaned and/or professionally cleaned depending on the fabric content. 

Is slipcovered fabric kid friendly? Slipcovered furniture is the perfect choice for a family with children of any age. The ease of removing the slipcovers and laundering makes for no stress living. Let the kids be kids and know that the proper slipcover fabric choice is the key for longevity. Additional slipcovers can also be purchased for about half the price any time in the future for as long as you own the slipcovered furniture. 

Does slipcovered furniture wear out or fade? Slipcovered furniture made in the USA is held to a much higher standard than those made overseas. We highly recommend choosing your slipcovered furniture with this in mind. Slipcovered furniture made with hard woods, corner blocks, double doweled and sinuous springs are vital keys in the quality and durability of the furniture. Eco-friendly products are also key factors in the quality and durability of the furniture. The key to comfort is the content and density of the cushion so be sure to understand the type of cushion and it’s contents that you are purchasing. Slipcovers should be made with quality workmanship, reinforced seams and quality fabrics to ensure a long lasting durable product. Products in the made in the USA have strict quality assurance programs in place to ensure the end product is of best quality. The best of fabrics are subject to fading when in a room with sunlight. If sunlight and fading is a concern we would recommend having the slipcover made in an acrylic fabric such as Sunbrella or Outdura. 

Can slipcovered furniture go outside? Outdoor slipcovered patio furniture with bright colors withstands both harsh rays from the hot sun and coastal elements from rain and salt water. Strong slipcover fabric such as Sunbrella is constructed with impressive ratings. Outdoor slipcovered furniture is manufactured to withstand the elements, let water drain and built to resist mold and mildew. Simply pressure wash the furniture with slipcover on as needed and the furniture will look brand new. 

How to measure slipcovered sofas? Deciding on the size of a slipcovered sofa can be a challenge. The two biggest criteria are the room size and the height of the users. You want to select a sofa size that is scaled properly for the room and is also comfortable and purposeful for the end user. It is best to provide a floor plan with dimensions of the room and have a professional furniture layout done. We provide this service at no cost but if you are a do-it-yourselfer you can do it the old fashion way and tape out the size on the floor with masking tape and try to envision how it will feel and look. As for the size for comfort I would again recommend professional guidance for selecting the right size based on height and planned use to ensure the most comfortable choice. If you have a sofa that you love you can also measure the seat depth, seat height, arm height and back height and pick one that closely fits those dimensions.
