How do I measure my sofa for a linen slipcover?
We have an instruction (see it below), on how to measure your couch to know the size of the loose-fit linen couch cover you need.
You need to know the length (1+2+3+4+5) and the width (6+7+8+9+10+11+12) of the cover. You can write down the measurements of these numbered parts for us or you can calculate yourself to get 2 dimensions: the width and length of the cover.
If you haven't found the right size in our drop menu, please contact us beforehand and we will advise you on how to order.
Why should I choose a linen couch cover over other materials?
Linen offers natural breathability, keeping your sofa cool in warm weather. It's naturally antimicrobial and becomes softer with each wash. Linen also provides a relaxed, elegant aesthetic that works with both casual and sophisticated decor styles while being environmentally sustainable.
Are linen couch covers breathable and durable?
Yes, linen is highly breathable due to its loose weave, making it ideal for year-round comfort. While linen may wrinkle easily, it's incredibly durable and can last for decades with proper care. The fabric actually strengthens with washing and develops a beautiful lived-in texture over time.
How does linen compare to cotton or polyester sofa covers?
Linen is more breathable than cotton and significantly more so than polyester. It's naturally temperature-regulating, unlike synthetic polyester which can trap heat. While cotton is softer initially, linen becomes increasingly comfortable with use. Linen also has superior moisture-wicking properties compared to both alternatives.
How should I wash my linen slipcovers?
Machine wash linen slipcovers in cold or lukewarm water using a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent and avoid bleach or fabric softeners. Remove while slightly damp and air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Iron while damp for a crisp look, or embrace the natural wrinkled texture.
Can I machine wash a linen couch cover?
Absolutely! Most linen couch covers are machine washable, making maintenance easy. Check the care label first, but generally, use cold water and gentle cycle. Pre-treat any stains before washing. Machine washing actually improves linen's texture and softness over time.
What are the best linen couch cover colors for my living room?
Neutral tones like cream, beige, and soft gray are versatile and timeless. For a bold statement, consider deep navy, forest green, or terracotta. Light colors show wear less but may require more frequent washing. Darker shades hide stains better and work well in high-traffic homes.
Are linen slipcovers suitable for homes with pets and kids?
Linen slipcovers are excellent for families! They're machine washable, naturally antimicrobial, and become more comfortable with frequent washing. Choose darker colors or patterns to camouflage pet hair and stains. The durable nature of linen withstands the wear and tear from active households.
What custom linen couch cover options are available?
You can choose from various linen weights, colors, and finishing details like piping or ties. We also provide custom sizing and guides for custom fits.
How can I style linen slipcovers in my living room decor?
Layer linen slipcovers with textured throw pillows and cozy blankets for depth. Pair with natural materials like wood and rattan for a cohesive organic look. Mix different linen textures and complementary neutral tones. Add plants and natural lighting to enhance the relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere linen creates.
