I’m writing this review after having these covers for a month, and I love these covers.I’ve been searching everywhere for couch cushion covers that would fit my rather oddly designed couch, and nothing measured up right until I found these. I was skeptical about these covers as well, but the amount of stretch they have did wonders. Overall, I recommend these covers for any couch. Just be sure to measure your cushions for optimal fitting, but they’re incredibly forgiving if the measurements aren’t exact.Now, about these covers after a month’s use:Wear…For one, my dogs lay on the couch - this is the biggest reason I got these covers, because the couch cushions underneath have frayed just from my pups getting up on them. In comparison, these covers show ZERO wear. They are fabric though, so do expect them to get a liiiittle fluffier than when they first arrive. (And when I say “liiiittle”, I mean it’s absolutely not a problem with the product.) The fluffiness is not pilling or shedding, so don’t fret. It’s just fabric being fabric. They still look incredibly attractive as the day they first arrived. Additionally, with dogs, the hair comes off rather easily, same with dirt.Oh! Did I mention these covers are INSANELY soft? Because they are, and have retained that comfortable softness, even after washing.Speaking of which; Washing…They wash incredibly well, I’m very happy. The fabric isn’t hindered at all. And being able to smell that fresh laundry smell when I sit down on my couch is so nice.However, they need to be air dried. I found they air dry in about a day or two if hung up inside (possibly less if hung up outside in the sun) - so not bad. Don’t use the air dry option on your drying machine, it doesn’t do anything haha! I tried.However, if you don’t have any blankets or other covering you can put on your couch while these covers dry, I would recommend getting a second set of these covers. I have back up blankets for when I need to wash these (which I’ve only had to do once because dirt doesn’t stick to them at all - I just like to be tidy), so getting a second set isn’t a priority, but it is definitely something I might do down the line.And finally; Color matching…They don’t match my couch perfectly, so expect the same with yours - just get as close as you can and it will still look good (or mix it up if the style suits you!) My couch is a light warm grey color, and the light grey these covers are is more of a cool grey. No biggy honestly, it’s apparent my couch cushions have covers on them haha. But the design of these covers and how nicely they fit make my couch look so nice - WAY nicer than having blankets thrown on it for sure.Concerns you may have that I haven’t faced yet…These cover’s fabric feels thin, but not fragile, so regular use shouldn’t be a problem. However, I don’t see these being waterproof, so be wary of spilling anything on them. Additionally, my pups are really chill, so if you have a rambunctious or destructive pup, I’m not sure these covers will hold up against them.Beyond that, if you’re on the fence about these covers, I say give them a shot - they surprised me and I love them.Good luck! Hope this helps! :)
