Frequently asked questions

Copy covers are what we are all about and by using your existing covers we are able to create a great new look for your furniture. However, we know not everybody has removable covers on their furniture. If you have fixed upholstery on your sofa or chairs, we would encourage you to contact us through this handy form and tell us a bit more about your furniture. We will do our best to come up with a solution.

If you have quality loose or removable cover furniture, usually it is the covers that start you thinking about a new sofa, either because they are looking worn or tired or because they just don’t match your interiors anymore. By ordering replacement sofa and chair covers with the same quality fit, you can keep the furniture you love and restore that new sofa feeling. Plus keeping your furniture out of landfill is great for the environment too! We want everyone to relove their furniture!

All our furniture covers are custom made just for you, by our team of experts in our Lancashire factory. Our great grandparents started selling sofa covers back in the 50s, so there isn’t much we haven’t come across. With over 60 years in the furniture industry we know our team are some of the best in the business.

Unfortunately we won’t be able to copy your covers as we specialise in replicating the covers you already have. However, we may still be able to help as our sister company, Plumbs, offer an in home measurement and reupholstery service. Get in touch with us and we can discuss all your options.

We are pleased to say we can copy covers for all brands of furniture in practically every style! But some of the big names we come across are Multiyork, Collins and Hayes, Parker Knoll, Laura Ashley, Plumbs, Marks and Spencer, G Plan, John Lewis, Duresta, the list goes on and on. Visit our brands page to find out more.

Firstly, our expert pattern makers use your old covers to make a template to begin the transformation process. We use these covers throughout their manufacturing journey to make sure your new covers will fit in the same style as you have come to expect. Once we have posted out your brand new covers we store your old covers for a short time, just in case there are any minor adjustments needed. But once we know you’re happy with the fit we put them through our recycling process, and last year we recycled over 99% of our waste, old covers included! And we are pretty proud of that.

However, we know that not everybody wants us to recycle their old covers and some of our customers do want their old covers back. If this is the case we charge a small fee to resew, package up and post these back to you, which you can add into your basket when placing your order. If you’ve got any questions though, please do get in touch.

We like to think we have something for everybody in our range, from fabulous cottons to velvets in a huge variety of shades, neutral or rainbow – the choice is yours! Plus, with our free fabric sample service you can order 5 free swatches to see them in your home to help you decide. All our fabrics are washable so ideal for everyday life and are hard wearing too. If you do need a bit of extra protection we also have a range of Aquaclean fabrics.

The great joy of having removable sofa and chair covers is that they can go in the washing machine. All the fabrics in our range are machine washable, you just need to check the label for any individual instructions but most like a 30 degree wash with a liquid non bio detergent.

We happily send out sample swatches in all of our fabrics free of charge. However, if you want to see a larger sample, we recommend that you buy a metre of your chosen fabric from here.

Aquaclean is a revolutionary fabric treatment that allows you to clean stains using water only. It is also washable and has a SAFE FRONT® component that protects against viruses and bacteria, reducing their activity. Read more about Aquaclean here.

Fitting new covers can be tough work – especially when they’re designed with a professional fit – but with our step-by- step guide, you can take the hard work away and be a furniture fitting expert. When we deliver your new covers we will send you an instruction booklet on how to get those covers fitting perfectly.

New foams can feel firm, especially if your previous cushion infills had seen better days – the comparison can feel significant! However, they can lose up to 20% of their original firmness within the first few weeks of use, it is quite normal and doesn’t effect their long term comfort. If you do have any concerns please drop us an email to orders@covermyfurniture.com.
