I have a two-seat sofa, but had to purchase the 4 seat size. My sofa is 88 - 90 inches across the top (as close as I could get since my fur children helped me measure.) I put the slipcover over the two seat cushions, and put the back pillows on top. The two included pillow covers are about 17 x 17 and will actually fit the back pillows, which are 24 x 24, because of their stretchiness, but the zipper pulled out. My husband was able to get it back on the pull, but I plan to buy some smaller inserts for the pillow covers. The zippers are nylon and really cheap. Weird thing - the slipcover came in a zippered plastic bag and the zipper on that bag is of much better quality than the zippers on the pillow covers. They also include foam inserts to make the slipcover fit better, but they do pop out every time you sit on the sofa. They are about 10 1/4 inches long, with a diameter of about 3/4 inch. I saw that some reviewers buy pool noodles and cut them to fit. They might work because they are thicker? I may buy upholstery tacks to keep the shape - don't know if it will tear the fabric or not. The fabric feels like a soft T-shirt. As you can see from my pictures, my darling fur children ate my sofa. I bought a new sofa and had the old one moved to my sun-porch. Culprit 1 (Waylon - a 14 month old, 100 lb. German Shepherd) is in the first picture. He ate the arm and chewed the bottom of the sofa. Culprit 2 (Tesseract - a 6 month old, 5 lb. Manx) is in the second picture. She enlarged the rip on the bottom so she could go inside the sofa. It looked awful, so I ordered this slipcover.The third picture shows the bottom of the sofa where I tied the slipcover on. (I apologize for the blurriness of this picture.) I had difficulty figuring out how to put the cover on until I realized the tag goes in the back and there will be a tie from the front and back and one in the middle on each side (three ties on each end of the sofa.) These 3 are tied together. (Hope this is clear.)The fourth and fifth pictures show the sofa from the front (with Culprit 1 and Culprit 2 inspecting it.)Yes, the brown pillows are UGLY! I intend to buy slipcovers for them, but waited because I wanted to see the color of the slipcover first. I ordered "Fall" thinking it was gray. It is not. It is GREEN, but could look gray in artificial light at night. If I can find slipcovers for my brown pillows to go with this slipcover, I will post a picture.The sixth picture shows the slipcover is Culprit 2 approved.The slipcover is not perfect, but you cannot see that my sofa is torn to pieces. I think this will just fine on my sun-porch.
