Slipcovers Ideal For Couch Potato

Now the days are getting increasingly shorter and we’ve got to put up with these horrible dark evenings, I’m finding that I’m spending a lot more time at home watching the TV.  During the summer I hardly put my TV on at all, as I’m rarely inside in the evenings.  I like to make the most of the daylight and go out in the garden, play tennis or go jogging.  But this time of year I often find myself slumped on the couch after dinner watching whatever’s on the box.

As I’m spending more time lazing on my sofa, I’ve found myself having to wash my slipcover more frequently than usual.  This is because I turn into a bit of a couch potato in the winter months and enjoy eating all kinds of snacks whilst I watch my favorite shows.  I’m not really fussy what food it is, as long as I can grab a handful and shove it in my mouth without being distracted from what’s happening on the screen.

Of course, this lazy way of eating means that I’m always dropping things like popcorn, chips and nuts on the couch.  This isn’t too much of a problem, as I can easily clear them up.  It’s the things like dips and pizza that are the worst, as they end up leaving a stain on the slipcover fabric.  Fortunately, all my furniture slipcovers are machine washable, so it’s just a case of throwing the dirty cover in the wash the next day and replacing it with a clean one.

Knowing that I’ve got several other sofa slipcovers in my closet is a nice feeling as it means I can carry on being a slob and not worry if I drop a pizza slice or chocolate icecream on my couch!
