Sure Fit Slip Covers: A Sure Thing

Tis the season for garage sale shopping! For me, the warm months in Chicago signify the time of year for yard sales, estate sales and rummage sales galore. At a local sale, I recently came across a very gently used Lazy Boy recliner. This comfy lounger was practically new, extremely clean and priced unbelievably at just $20.00. The only problem: it was mauve. I don't and probably never will have the color mauve in my home. I have nothing against this pinkish shade of red; it's simply not my style. That being said, the recliner was still a steal and of course, I bought it. Luckily, I soon discovered a company called Sure Fit!

Sure Fit is an online and catalog business specializing in snug fitting, barely detectable, high quality, stylish slip covers. They feature covers for everything from sofas and love seats to futons and recliners. That's right, they even sell a recliner slip cover, not to mention classy coverings for dining room chairs, folding chairs, ottomans and tables! But more on those options later.

As for my relatively new recliner, Sure Fit offered a variety of fabulous texture and color selections. Some fabric choices included: suede, velour, pinstripe, honeycomb, diamond and animal print. While color pallets featured: blue, green, burgundy, beige and more. Sure Fit slip covers are soft, stretchy, comfortable and machine washable. Recliner covers fit most chair styles and also have a convenient side pocket for our beloved remote controls. I chose a soft beige Sure Fit slip cover with a supple honeycomb texture for just $79.99 and now my garage sale find looks spectacular!

If you have had unpleasant experiences with sloppy slip covers in the past, rest assured, Sure Fit's products are form fitting and easily adhered to your existing furnishings. The Sure Fit website even offers a step by step instructional video as well as a measuring guide and helpful fit tips.
