Euro covers for the sofa: description, types, selection rules

Eurocover on the sofa saves furniture from rapid wear and tear. Thanks to the large number of colors and designs on the market, this protection does not spoil the appearance of the room in the least and pleases the eye for many years. Let's take a closer look at the description, types and rules for choosing euro covers for a sofa.

The sofa cover is a fabric product that protects the upholstery of upholstered furniture from both specific external factors and wear. Many people also use this furniture “garment” to update or budget-change the look of a piece. The cover is made of durable, highly elastic fabric, pleasantly "fitting" and dimensional sofa, and a small armchair, and even a chair. The necessary properties of the bedspread are provided by its composition, which contains numerous rubber threads. Eurocover is made in various colors and designs.

Furniture “clothes” are very easy to use, and the stretching technique is remembered the first time. The material is not only hypoallergenic, but also quite pleasant to the touch. A large number of designs allows you to choose a European cover for any interior, and the presence of a special impregnation against dirt greatly simplifies the cleaning process.

A fairly versatile finish, as a rule, it is combined with any other textiles present in the room. It successfully copes with the protection of furniture from animal claws, punctures or mechanical stress.You can order a cover for any sofa design, from straight and four-seater to a miniature corner one, suitable for only two people. During operation the cover does not slip off the sofa, but if necessary, it can be easily removed for washing. The relative disadvantages of the item include its increased cost.

Euro covers designed for sofas are produced in numerous variations, differing both in cost and in appearance. Each of them has unique parameters. It should be mentioned right away that the euro cover cannot have a pronounced insertable elastic band, therefore such a purchase is a fake. But variations with frills or tassels are quite likely.

Most of the covers are universal, as they are suitable for all European sofa models. This means that having acquired one bedspread, it will be possible to pull it on a straight sofa, and then also successfully move it to an angular structure.

As the name suggests, 2-seat cover ideal for a sofa that can accommodate two people. In addition to size and shape, it is no different from other varieties.

Covers for three-seater sofas have larger dimensions.

The four-seater cover stretches over a large sofa, suitable for 4 people. It has no special specifics.

Corner models make it possible to "dress" a sofa of a non-standard shape. Some of them are suitable for right-handed models, and some for left-handed models, so be careful in this matter and look in which direction the angle is directed. The length of the cover is determined depending on how many people can fit on the seat. Before buying, you should measure not only the length and width of the furniture, but also the dimensions of the protrusion.

Eurocovers for small-sized models without armrests, as a rule, are the most budgetary ones. Despite this, they are in no way inferior in quality to more expensive models and perfectly fit the sofa cover. The sizes of such covers are both double and triple.

It should also be added that for straight sofas it is appropriate to purchase both universal and symmetrical products. For sofas with armrests, it is better to order a European cover in an atelier, and not to purchase a ready-made one, since the shape and dimensions are often non-standard. Models with a bottom frill are quite wide and are additionally fixed with either elastic bands or strings.

If we talk about possible colors of bedspreads, they can be any, but pastel shades of a light brown or milky palette are still considered universal... These colors will fit into any interior and add an atmosphere of tranquility and comfort. Covers with large patterns, for example, geometric shapes or plant motifs, look good on oversized structures. For a miniature sofa, “clothes” with a small abstract pattern are more suitable.

Protective covers can be made from different materials.

• Especially popular jacquard, which not only looks noble, but also has increased durability. Cleaning the case itself is very easy.
• No less often used and polyester, which has a lower cost, but also low quality. If you buy such a cover, then it will not serve its owners for long, especially if pets live in the apartment.
• Performs well pleated - the material looks beautiful and has the necessary rigidity to prevent damage to the surface by animal claws.
• Chenille it cannot be called a particularly reliable choice, but such a soft coating looks very pleasant to the touch.It is better to buy a chinyl eurocover for apartments in which there are no pets and small children.
• Elastic but tight microfiber most often used to protect corner furniture.

In order to choose the correct eurocover, the first step is to decide on the size. Despite the versatility of many covers, it is better to additionally measure both the width and the length of the furniture. Undoubtedly, it is important to take into account the compliance of the design of the bedspread with the general style of the interior... The high price is justified, but only if the quality is at its best. A low price, by the way, should be avoided, as a cheap coating quickly fades and loses its aesthetics. The most suitable material is practical and has additional impregnation from dirt.

To correctly take measurements, you will definitely need a tape measure. The first step is to measure the gap from one edge of the back to the other. Further, this indicator is assessed in relation to the generally accepted ones. In the event that the length does not go beyond 1.6 meters, we can conclude that a double cover is suitable for a sofa. The length from 1.6 meters to 2.4 meters corresponds to a three-seater sofa. An indicator of more than 2.4 meters corresponds to a four-seater sofa.

Important! In corner structures, this gap can be 3.8 meters or even more, almost 5.5 meters... If there is no tape measure, then this indicator can be determined by eye, having estimated how many people are quietly accommodated on the couch seat.

Caring for Eurocovers is not difficult. You can wash a fabric product in a typewriter, selecting the temperature and mode in accordance with the material used. The delicate mode is considered the best solution. Before starting the wash, the item must be turned inside out and put into the drum of the washing machine separately from other items. It is strictly forbidden to use bleaching agents, and then iron the washed bedspread.

It is also necessary to clarify and how to properly put the "clothes" on the sofa. As a rule, all this information is contained in the accompanying instructions, namely:

1. to begin with, a new product, together with a seal, are removed from the package; it is immediately determined where the structure is at the top and where is the bottom;
2. next, the cover is to be laid out on the surface of the sofa, and then the corners of the cape should be fixed at the corners of the furniture back;
3. then the cape must be pulled over the lower part of the sofa, and then fix the lower corners;
4. the euro cover is spread over the entire surface so that there are no folds and creases, and the seams are on the edges of the frame;
5. if the sofa model is corner, then the lower tape is tied to the leg;
6. the existing seal is laid under the cover in such a way as to fit parallel to the junction of the back and seat;
7. in the end, everything is smoothed out again.

In general, customer reviews of Euro covers are positive. Numerous comments point out that bedspreads are made with high quality and look very stylish. The cape is not only comfortable and perfectly matching the shape of the furniture, but also practical, and washing it is not difficult. Some, however, are not satisfied with the increased price, but they still note that fabric products are worth the cost. Among the minuses, there is also a shortened service life of some models.

One of the first places in the ranking is occupied by the brand's products Karna. The fabric product was created in Turkey and costs about 2.5 thousand rubles.The customer chose a three-seater model without armrests, which required an additional purchase of clips, which, most likely, was a one-time mistake in production. The declared material is synthetic jersey, which consists of 40% cotton and 60% polyester. As for the dimensions, this blanket was suitable for the width of the seat from 210 to 160 centimeters, the depth from 70 to 80 centimeters, the height from the seat to the back, not exceeding the boundaries of 70-80 centimeters.

The Euro cover was made of an elastic and rather heavy crinkled fabric, which at first seemed tough, but softened after several washings. The lack of lint made it possible to solve the problem of dust collection and the appearance of dust mites, and a pleasant lilac shade fits perfectly into the interior. It was possible to wash "clothes" even at a temperature of +60 degrees. And, of course, the coating did not slide off the furniture during the day and did not require constant correction. Another plus was the ability to straighten the sofa without removing the cover.
