Sofa Covers

If you share your living room with muddy paws, shedding fur and the occasional “whoops” moment, you’re not alone. A good sofa cover isn’t just about looks — it’s practical protection for your cherished furniture during everyday use. Our sofa covers are designed for UK pet owners who want a stylish home, without stressing over stains, dirt, spills or claw marks.

Whether you’ve got a busy family, a playful puppy, or a senior dog who loves a long nap on the settee, our collection helps you protect your sofa, refresh your home decor, and give tired sofas a new lease of life — without the cost of replacing the whole thing. Choose from a wide selection of fabrics, textures, patterns, and colours to match your room’s mood, from cosy neutrals to bold, trend-led style.

Types of Sofa Covers

Not all sofa covers work the same way — especially in a real UK home with pets. If your main worry is slipping, spills, or getting a snug fit that still looks stylish, start with the cover type that matches your sofa shape and your dog’s habits.

Stretch Sofa Covers

Stretch sofa cover is best for a neat, snug fit that hugs your sofa without looking baggy. Great for busy homes where dogs love bouncing on and off the couch — think French Bulldogs, Staffies, and Border Collies.

Corner Sofa Covers

Corner sofa cover is made for L-shaped or sectional sofas, where the “favourite dog spot” is usually the corner. A smart pick for big loungers like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, and German Shepherds.

Recliner Sofa Covers

Recliner sofa cover is designed to protect recliners without getting in the way of moving parts. Ideal for homes with senior dogs who nap a lot (hello Greyhounds) and anyone who wants comfort plus practical protection.

Waterproof Sofa Covers

Waterproof sofa cover is best for spills, drool, accidents, and rainy-walk shake-offs. A must-have for puppies, senior dogs, and water lovers like Labradors. If “practical protection” is your priority, start here.

Leather Sofa Covers

Leather sofa cover can be slippery and can show scratches easily. These covers help add grip and protect your cherished furniture from everyday wear — ideal for energetic jumpers like Jack Russells.

Slipcover Sofa Covers

A slipcover sofa cover is works well across different seating styles. Great if you’re updating the whole room and want a coordinated look across sofa covers, armchair covers, and even chair covers.

Pick the Right Cover for Your Dog

Different dogs bring different chaos — and different needs. Here’s a simple guide to help you choose.

Heavy shedders (Labrador, Golden Retriever, German Shepherd): Choose durable fabrics with a tighter weave so hair doesn’t cling as much. Darker colours can also help between washes.
Mud magnets (Spaniel, Beagle, Cockapoo): Go for machine washable options and practical, easy-clean textures that handle damp paws and everyday mess.
Claw enthusiasts (French Bulldog, Dachshund, Staffy): Look for covers built for durability to reduce the risk of snagging or tear damage.
Big loungers (Greyhound, Boxer, Rottweiler): Prioritise coverage and comfort — especially for larger seats, longer lounging, and multi-dog households.

No matter the breed, the best sofa cover is the one that matches your routine — quick to wash, easy to fit, and comfortable enough that your dog chooses it over your best throw (no guarantees, but we can try).

How to Choose the Right Sofa Cover

Step 1: Choose your sofa type

We offer options to fit a wide range of sofas and seating, including:

standard sofas and couches
corner shapes and chaise longues
armchairs and armchair covers
chair covers (including dining chair styling ideas)

If you’re refreshing the full space, you can coordinate armchair covers, chair covers, and cushion covers to give the whole room a unified look — from the main sofa to dining chairs.

Step 2: Measure once, relax for years

Measuring sounds annoying, but it’s worth it. A quick measure of seat width and back height helps you find a better fit, faster — and avoids the “surprised it doesn’t fit” moment when it arrives.

Step 3: Pick the fabric for your lifestyle

Practical protection for everyday life: choose durable, easy-care fabrics designed for busy homes
Cosy upgrades: plush textures for comfort and warmth
Sleek, stylish refresh: velvet-look options for a more elevated finish

If you’re unsure, start with a texture that matches your current sofa and add extra covers later for seasonal changes (light in summer, cosier in winter). Some customers like keeping extra covers on hand — one on the sofa, one in the wash — so you’re always ready for guests.

Sofa Cover FAQs

Are sofa covers a good idea?

Yes — especially for pet owners. Sofa covers offer practical protection from hair, spills, dirt and daily wear, while giving your living room an instant style refresh. They’re a simple way to protect cherished furniture, reduce cleaning stress, and keep your home feeling welcoming.

Can you get replacement sofa covers?

You can. Many people choose replacement sofa covers to refresh older sofas, update their style, or switch colours with the seasons. If your current cover has had a long life (or a puppy phase), adding new covers can give the whole sofa a new lease — without replacing the furniture.

Where did Stacey Solomon get her sofa covers from?

We hear this question a lot because Stacey has helped make cosy, family-friendly home updates feel normal (and fun). We can’t confirm where she personally bought hers unless she’s publicly shared it — but if you’re after that same practical-but-stylish vibe, you’re in the right place.
