The 11 Best Slipcovered Sofas of 2024 for Style and Easy Maintenance

Best Overall

Grandin Road Ava Slipcovered Sofa

View on Grandinroad.com

Grandin Road’s Ava Slipcovered Sofa earns our top spot for its combination of easy cleaning and stylish design. Available in both 86 and 93 inch wide options, we like that there’s something for everyone with this couch. And unlike other slipcovers on the market, this one doesn’t sacrifice comfort, featuring a feather and foam fill as well as down-blend wrapped cushions. 

This sofa comes in 15 unique slipcover options to cater to your space’s unique demands and style, with five stocked designs and 10 custom-made options. No matter which slipcover you choose, all are moisture-resistant and can be spot cleaned, or if necessary, dry cleaned for a deeper cleaning. Just note that the custom options can take up to 12 weeks to arrive.

The frame of this option is made from engineered and solid wood for stability. Additional slip covers are sold separately if you’re looking to be able to change the look of your couch and it also includes four throw pillows that have matching slipcovers. While the assembly of putting the legs on the couch is streamlined and easy, customers will still have to put the slipcovers on, which can be tedious and time consuming.

Best For Families

Birch Lane Bircham Slipcovered Sectional

$4,016 at Wayfair View on Birchlane.com

This larger U-shaped sectional from Bircham is spacious enough for families looking to make sure everyone has a seat during movie night. With an intended seating capacity of six, it means that nobody will have to take the floor, and for families with young kids, reversible cushions are a nice touch to combat any spills. 

The frame on this option is made from furniture grade plywoods and hardwoods for durability. Each seat is supported by tempered steel and sinuous springs for stability and to prevent sagging. We like that you can choose from both left hand and right hand facing designs to suit your space or layout preferences, as well as over 60 material and color combos for excellent customizability, with cotton, polyester, olefin, and polyester blends available.

The slipcover on this sofa can be dry cleaned or spot cleaned. While assembly is required (which is somewhat unusual for a sofa), white glove delivery is available for free to handle the assembly for you, if you prefer. It also includes three toss pillows.

Best for Small Spaces

Wayfair Custom Upholstery Kian Slipcovered Sofa

$2,000 at Wayfair

Measuring just 7 feet wide, Wayfair’s Custom Upholstery Kian Slipcovered Sofa is ideal for anyone looking to inject some fun design elements into a smaller space. Despite this sofa's smaller size, it can still support up to 750 pounds of weight, which is as substantial as many of the other, larger picks on our list. This two-seater with 37 color options is available in a mix of materials, including cotton, polyester, polyester blend, and olefin. 

The Kian comes with two throw pillows and is made from solid and engineered wood. For comfort, the reversible cushions are filled with a down blend and the covers are removable. On the base, it has a kick pleated skirt to hide away the legs and requires no assembly. We love that it's also available in a Sunbrella performance fabric, which is extra-durable in the face of sunlight and outdoor use.

The only downside is this slipcovered sofa has a longer wait time of 14-16 weeks for arrival. Fortunately, it comes with a one-year limited warranty to add an extra layer of protection to your investment.

_{Dimensions: 84 x 42 x 26 inches | Fabric Type: Cotton, polyester, polyester blends, and olefin | Frame Material: Solid and manufactured wood | Color Options: 37 options}

Best Customizable

Pottery Barn Buchanan Roll Arm Slipcovered Loveseat

$1,499 at Pottery Barn

If you want plenty of extra choices in the finished look of your sofa, Pottery Barn’s Buchanan is our pick. Designed in a classic and timeless design style, it will elevate any space no matter how you choose to design and customize it. In fact, its customization is exactly what makes it one of our favorite slipcovered options. With three size options ranging from 79 to 93.5 inches as well as the ability to pick between a two- or three-cushion seat design, you can configure your dream sofa setup with ease.

We also like that you can choose from a selection of 100 different colors and fabrics, including linen, boucle, basketweave, and chenille. When it comes to construction, every version of this Pottery Barn sofa is built for durability, with solid rubber wood legs and a frame made from engineered wood with a corner block construction to add more hardiness for the long-term. The cushions are wrapped in polyester to increase the feel of firmness. Just note that the slipcovers can only be spot cleaned, so you can't simply toss them in the wash when dirty.

_{Dimensions: 79 x 39 x 37 inches, 87 x 39 x 37 inches, 93.5 x 39 x 37 inches | Fabric Type: Basketweave, boucle, everyday suede, linen, velvet, twill, chenille, plain weave, pattern | Frame Material: Engineered wood, rubber wood | Color Options: 100}

Best with Washable Covers

Crate & Barrel Willow II Slipcovered Sofa

$1,759 at Crate & Barrel

It’s hard to beat the convenience of a machine washable sofa, and for our money, the Willow II from Crate and Barrel is the perfect way to go. While the washed cotton slipcovers are stain-resistant, the machine washability provides a peace of mind we think is second to none.

Available in three different sizes—74, 84, and 103 inches—as well as in both a two- and three-seat sofa design option for each of those sizes, this is also a versatile pick. Spacious and roomy, with a deep seat, we love this sofa's enticing feel. We think it's the perfect pick for spaces dedicated to lounging out; it's supremely comfy, yet features modern lines that project a feeling of elegance.

Top stitching works to keep everything taut on the seat and unlike other slipcovers it has more of a tailored overall look to it. Underneath, a kiln dried frame helps to prevent warping, and 18 different fabrics are available as well. While some people may find it to be a bit firm for their preferences due to the high-resiliency polyfoam cushions initially, we’re happy to report that with time, the sofa wears in comfortably. We do wish the slipcovers didn’t wrinkle so easily, but a pop into the washing machine or a turn with a fabric steamer can fix that.

_{Dimensions: 37 x 74 x 26 inches, 37 x 84 x 26 inches, 36.5 x 104 x 26 inches | Fabric Type: Cotton canvas | Frame Material: Hardwood | Color Options: 18 options}

Best Sectional

Wayfair Custom Lucia 4 Piece Slipcovered L-Sectional

$3,800 at Wayfair

For the convenience of a slipcover combined with the spaciousness of a sectional, we like this pick from Wayfair. With a seating capacity of five, this L-shaped couch is perfect for larger rooms and people looking to maximize seating. Like the other Wayfair pick on our list (the Birch Lane Bircham, our best for families pick), it includes furniture-grade hardwoods and plywoods, as well as tempered steel spring, for durable long-term support. 

Both the seats and the cushions are removable on this option, and it’s available in both right and left facing sectionals, and every single option is customizable as each sofa is made to order. Fortunately, this means you have a choice of over 50 different fabric and color combinations. We also like that it arrives assembled and comes with free white glove delivery for added convenience (and no heavy lifting on your part). 

While this sofa is quicker to arrive than other made to order options on our list, we don’t like that you have to wait 6-7 weeks for delivery. Additionally, it’s worth being aware that the skirt is prone to wrinkles. This is easy to fix with some steaming, but if you like the look of a pristine slipcover, it can be a drawback.

_{Dimensions:  36 x 122.5 x 117.5 inches | Fabric Type: Cotton, olefin, polyester, polyester blend, performance fabric | Frame Material: Solid and manufactured wood | Color Options: 50+ options}

Best with Chaise

West Elm Bleecker Down-Filled Slipcover 2-Piece Chaise Sectional

$3,898 at West Elm

West Elm’s Bleecker is perfect for those looking to create a lounge-ready space with a comfy, spacious sectional sofa. With a chaise attached and super cozy cushions made from a high resilience polyurethane foam with a combination of feather and poly fiber blend surrounding it, its fluffy feel ranks as a one out of five on West Elm's firmness scale. 

Underneath the comfy foam cushions is a kiln-dried solid wood frame with reinforced joinery for a contract grade product. We also appreciate that the slipcovers on this option are machine washable for even more ease of use. When purchasing, consumers are afforded the choice of a right or left facing chaise, and 55 different color options, as well as seven different fabric options, so you can choose from anything ranging from boucle to linen to velvet. Free swatches are available, and it comes with white glove delivery as well. 

However, you’ll want to note that while a number of the upholstery fabric choices are machine-washable, some may require special care (like dry cleaning). Additionally, due to the feather fill of the seat cushions, you may find yourself re-fluffing them into shape over time, though this is a relatively minor maintenance drawback.

_{Dimensions: 120.5 x 64.6 x 37.5 inches | Fabric Type: Seven options | Frame Material: Kiln dried wood | Color Options: 55 options}

Best Modular

Anabei Modular Performance 3-Seater Sectional

View on Anabei.com

For people that can’t seem to stick to just one design in the living room, this modular sofa from Anabei is just the ticket. Each of the four pieces is modular, so you can modify the design to be a linear couch or a more compact two seat option, making it just as viable for smaller spaces as it is for larger ones.

Underneath, this model boasts a powder-coated steel frame that Anabei describes as indestructible. Up top, the fabrics - which are available in 13 fun colors- are made with materials that are pet friendly, and stain and liquid resistant. Inside of the cushions is a high resilience foam that holds its shape with vegan, featherless down.

The best part? Not only is the fabric washable, so is the down alternative. We love that you can clean every part of the sofa, both inside and out (a key detail if you have kids, pets, or frequent spills!) The fabric options even feature a moisture barrier that's nontoxic to make them stain- and liquid-resistant. Plus, this sofa is durability tested against 100,000 double rubs, so it'll withstand abrasions well, too. It does have a lower back that some taller people may find to not be supportive enough, but ultimately, the sheer durability of this sofa makes it a standout for us.

_{Dimensions:103.5  x 68.5 x 36 inches | Fabric Type: Not listed | Frame Material: Powder coated steel | Color Options: 11 options}

Best Outdoor

Chicory Modular Outdoor Washable 2-Seater

View on Chicoryhome.com

An excellent slipcover sofa doesn’t need to be confined to indoor usage, which is why we love this pick from Chicory. The modular sofa features UV fade-proof fabrics that are good for up to 2,000 sunlight hours. Those fabrics also feature a non-toxic moisture barrier that helps to protect from the unforgiving elements of rain, as well as the unfriendly spills of any company that you may have over. It has breathable textilene layers that help to drain liquid so nothing gets trapped. 

It’s not just the fabric that’s designed to handle the elements; this 2-seater is made with a powder-coated steel frame to tolerate heavy duty usage. Plus, it’s completely modular, so it can be rearranged to fit whatever your outdoor demands are and all covers are interchangeable and washable for a longer lasting product. It’s available in 16 fun colors and comes with free deliveries. Where this option falls a touch short is it is a bit heavy to move around; however, if you’re keeping it in one spot, that shouldn’t be an issue.

_{Dimensions: 34 x 68.5 x 36 inches | Fabric Type: Canvas | Frame Material: Steel | Color Options: 16 options}

Best Sleeper

Pottery Barn PB Comfort Slipcovered Sleeper Sofa

View on Pottery Barn

Whether you’re living in a studio and looking to maximize space, or you have guests staying with you regularly, a sleeper sofa is a great idea. This option from Pottery Barn offers the best of both worlds, providing a sleeper sofa that is also slipcovered. Unlike other sleeper styles, this one doesn’t skimp on the performance of the mattress, providing five inches of memory foam for comfort and featuring high density foam around the edges for added  support. That, combined with steel springs, further help to prevent sagging.

This pick also features a double-locking headrest to tilt the mattress up for television viewing, if preferred. There are also a variety of design options with this pick, with customers having the option to choose either two or three cushion setups, or a bench design if preferred. The option of two or three back cushions are also available, as is the option of either down blend or memory foam in the couch cushions. 110 made to order fabrics are available, as are 27 standard fabrics.

While multiple cushions are available, this sofa only comes in one size. It's a small drawback, but one worth noting if you're searching for a smaller or larger slipcovered sofa.

_{Dimensions:  38.5 x 86.5 x 37.5 inches | Fabric Type: Multiple options | Frame Material: Engineered wood | Color Options: 137 color options}

Best Reversible Cushions

Birch Lane Wendell 88” Slipcovered Sofa

View on Birchlane.com

For additional longevity, we like the reversible cushions from this Birch Lane slipcovered sofa. That, combined with a solid wood frame that features engineered wood joinery, ensures a piece of furniture that’s built to last. 

This sofa comes with polyester upholstery for a softer feel, and has a bench style single cushion with a foam and down hybrid fill. The cushion cover is removable as well, and this pick is available in 50 different combos of color and fabric. A dressmaker skirt along the bottom helps to create a layer of classiness into the space as well, and it also comes with five throw pillows. 

On the downside with this made to order option is that the removable covers are not machine-washable. Instead, Birch Lane recommends spot-treating any stains or dirt only. We wish cleaning were easier, but we overall like the construction and removable nature of the slipcover.

_{Dimensions: 88 x 42 x 38 inches | Fabric Type: Cotton, olefin, polyester, polyester blend, sunbrella performance | Frame Material: Solid wood | Color Options: 50 options}
