Furniture Slipcovers Blog: GetSlipcovers.com

One of the questions I get asked a lot is “where can I buy a slipcover for my reclining wing chair?”.  In the past, I’d only managed to find recliner covers for regular arm chairs.  So, I could only suggest people use a regular wing chair slipcover and not use the recliner function when it was on.

However, the really great news is that Sure Fit now offer a slipcover designed especially for wing recliners.  It’s made from the popular Stretch Pique fabric, which gives a snug fit and is soft to the touch.  It comes in a choice of eight colors so you can match it to your decor and color scheme.

The other good news is that this slipcover will also fit regular wing chairs with box cushions.  Before, I’d only been able to find covers for wing chairs with t-cushions.

I’ve been so busy enjoying the spring weather and lighter evenings that I haven’t updated the blog for a while.  I’ve been doing a lot of digging, weeding and planting in my garden in my efforts to grow my own organic vegetables.  I was pleased to see so many people taking part in events to celebrate Earth Day yesterday.  If you’ve been inspired to make your home more green, it’s worth checking out Sure Fit’s special offer for Earth Day…

Sure Fit are currently offering a whopping 40% off all their organic slipcovers!  Considering they are fairly priced in the first place, and no more expensive than regular slipcovers, this promotion makes them a real bargain.

To make sure you get your discount you’ll need to order online and use coupon code EM40.  This amazing deal ends Sunday 26th April, so you’ve only got a few days to decide which fabric you like the best.

For those of you that like the versatility of solid, neutral colors, there’s the Aspen range.  Alternatively, there’s the striped Riverstone fabric in blue or brown, which is great for brightening up any room.  As well as offering loveseat and sofa slipcovers in organic cotton, Sure Fit’s also got 17 inch pillows in the same materials that are perfect for coordinating your furniture’s new look.

Almost a year ago I wrote about Sure Fit’s new 3 piece slipcovers for loose back cushion furniture.  At that time, this style style was only available in the Stretch Pique fabric.  It’s proved very popular and Sure Fit have extended their range so 3 piece slipcovers are now available in Cotton Duck as well.  I seem to recall that when I wrote about them, the 3 piece design was only for sofas and loveseats, but I see 3 piece chair slipcovers are available now too.

Stretch Pique is one of Sure Fit’s most popular fabrics and  is made from 94% Polyester and 6% Spandex, which gives it a form fit.  The Duck Supreme fabric is 100% cotton and is very durable.  Both fabrics are machine washable.  There are the only slipcovers I’ve seen for furniture with loose back cushions.  They have a similar design to separate seat covers and the removable back cushions are all zippered into one cover.

Anyway, what prompted me to write this post is that this week Sure Fit are running a special promotion and are offering 15% off all 3 piece slipcovers.  The offers ends 29th March 2009 and the promo code is 3PCE.

 I’ve just spotted another Sure Fit promotion, which is worth checking out if you’re looking for some new slipcovers.  The offer is to get 20% off your order when you buy any of their stretch slipcovers.  The promo code you’ll need to enter at checkout when you order online is SYB2, and the promotion ends on 9th Feb 09.

Sure Fit have stretch slipcovers for all different types of furniture, including dining room chairs, wingback chairs and recliners.  In fact, one of their best-selling slipcover fabrics is the Stretch Pique, which gives a form fit and clings to the contours of furniture.  It’s made from 94% polyester and 6% spandex, which gives it its smooth, fitted look and helps it stay in place without becoming untucked.

Sure Fit slipcovers can be machine washed, as long as you follow the care instructions on the label.  This makes them a popular choice with people who have pets that like to jump on their furniture, and with people with young children.  Other popular stretch fabrics include the Stretch Suede and the Royal Diamond.

With history being made with the inauguration of Barack Obama as the first African-American president of the US, shopping for new slipcovers might not be the first thing on your mind!  However, if you can drag yourself away from the TV, there are some great savings to be had on all Sure Fit slipcovers…

For the special Inauguration Day Sale, you can get 20% off all slipcovers as well as FREE standard shipping!  This is a really exceptional offer, but you’ll have to act quick to take advantage of it.  It lasts for 4 days only and ends Friday 23rd January.  The all-important coupon code is AFSP.

A separate Sure Fit offer worth mentioning is for today and tomorrow only, there’s 30% off all recliner covers.

Just a quick reminder of the promotion that Sure Fit are running this month – until 12/31/08 you can get a 20% discount on your order by using the code ASD2 at checkout!  With all the expenses of the holidays, it’s good to save money where you can.  If you’re planning on updating a room in the new year, now’s a good time to buy your new slipcovers so you can take advantage of this generous offer.

Happy holidays from Get Slipcovers!

I thought I’d tell you about a special offer that Sure Fit are running for today only! 

As a Cyber Monday promotion they are offering 25% off all slipcover orders $99 and over, plus free standard shipping!  I think this is a great deal – you’ll need coupon code CBMH.

Remember you’ll have to choose your slipcovers quickly as this sale runs for today only!

While you’re shopping for bargains, check out their clearance section, where there’s apparently discounts of up to 70% on some slipcovers.

 With the holiday season nearly upon us (again!), now’s the time when I start worrying about how I’m going to accommodate the 12 guests we’re expecting for dinner this year!  Last year we managed to get 10 of us round the dining table, thanks to my mum’s folding chairs.  I think I’m going to need to borrow a few more chairs from her this year – and possibly a bigger table!

Fortunately I’ve already got some dining room chair slipcovers that I bought last November, plus a set of matching slipcovers for folding chairs.  I’ll need to order a few more, but they’re only $14.99 for a set of two (same price as last year), so at that price I can’t go wrong!

Sure Fit have recently revamped their website and introduced some new products.  For example, whilst looking at their folding and dining chair covers I noticed they’ve got some great stretch covers for tables, which I’ve not seen before.  These are designed for 6ft or 8ft x 30in display tables rather than dining tables, as the covers come right down to the floor so there’d be no room for people’s legs.  But they look really sophisticated and would be great if you’re having a big party over the holidays.

I’ve just seen that Sure Fit have got an offer running where you can get free standard shipping on orders of $99 or more.  So, if you’ve been thinking about buying some new slipcovers for fall, you’ve got until 27th October to take advantage of this promotion.  You’ll need to use promo code FLHP when you order online, and please note this offer is for US orders only and is not available on Canadian orders.

While you’re looking at what’s available on their website, take a few minutes to have a look at the 20 ugliest couches that have made it to the semi-final of the Ugly Couch Contest – there are some really hideous entries this year.  And remember people actually have this furniture in their homes – these sofas are so in need of a slipcover makeover! 

I actually don’t know which single one I think is the most ugly, they are all look either outdated, old-fashioned or worn out.  But they look comfortable too, so I think they could be saved with some well-chosen slipcovers.  It’ll be interesting to see which one gets the most votes.  The winner will be announced on 15th November. I’ll keep you posted!

Just  a reminder that today is the deadline for entering Sure Fit’s ugly couch contest.  If you’ve got a really unattractive old couch, you can submit a photo online to be in with a chance of getting through to the semi-final.  The 20 semi-finalists will be chosen in the next few days and the American public will be able to vote for the nation’s ugliest couch online from 13th October.

All 20 semi-finalists will be awarded a Sure Fit slipcover, and the overall winner, who will be announced on 15th November, will get a full room makeover and their choice of 10 Sure Fit products.

Today is also the last day to get 15% off your order with coupon code ASE1.  Click here to start shopping for slipcovers.
