Our sofa protectors help to extend the life of your couch. We realize that your couch/sofa was an expensive piece that needs to be protected from the everyday activities of dogs, cats, children, spills, stains, etc. Our sofa protectors will will protect and maintain your couch. Our sofa protector is double sided with the same color on each side. The elastic strap to hold the sofa cover in place is the same color as the fabric. We do not reccomend that you use these covers on a leather couch. The cover will slide on the leather, not full protecting your couch. Our sofa protector is easy to maintain - can be washed and dryed at home.
