Press Release Body = What\'s New in Slipcovers?

By Liana Toscanini


Let\'s face it - kids and pets continue to rule our households and ready made
slipcovers continue to offer a practical and inexpensive solution to furniture woes.
The one-piece, loose fit slipcover is still hanging on in favorite, hard-wearing
fabrics like microfiber suede and denim, but the way of the future lies in stretch
slipcovers and designs with separate seat cushion covers. Sure Fit, the largest
readymade slipcover company in the world, still dominates the market, and is now
offering sophisticated options such as stain-release fabrics and reversible covers.



Liana Toscanini is a former Sure Fit executive and now the owner of a home
furnishings store in Massachusetts. She\'s been selling slipcovers one way or
another for over twelve years and is pleased with recent innovations. \"Stretch
covers are great for people who have skinny, square, or odd-shaped furniture,\" she
explains. \"The stretchy fabric really molds to the furniture, even around shaped
cushions if they\'re not enormous. The look is tailored, almost like upholstery with
no bows or skirts.\"


Toscanini also praises the separate seat cushion cover concept for eliminating the
untucking often found with readymade solutions. There are now several designs to
choose from including individual covers for each square seat cushion, one large
cover for all seat cushions, and even one large stretchy cover for seats with shaped
cushions. To see what Sure Fit has to offer, visit http://www.surefit.com

from getting wrinkles out of slipcovers without ironing to what to do if your
furniture arms are too skinny to accommodate slipcovers.
