The vast majority of sofas that have been bought in recent times have that great structure of the chaise longue. If this does not ring a bell, you still do not know the sofas that have a longer armchair, in divan mode, on one side. These are the chaise longue that have become so popular. Without a doubt it is a sofa that the vast majority choose, but you also have to think about its maintenance.
This is where the issue of chaise longue cover. You may have bought a sofa and it is clean and spotless, and you want to keep it that way. You have several possibilities, from being extremely careful when eating something or using anything that can stain it, to opting for chaise longue covers that protect it from future stains.
Why choose a chaise longue cover?
There are many people who choose a sofa for its color and fabric, so the case does not even cross his mind. It is true that if we want a sofa in a certain tone to match the rest of the decoration, it does not make much sense to look for a cover that covers it, but in the long run it can be very useful. The problem comes when stains appear on the fabric. If it is about leather sofas, this is not a problem, since they are more expensive but they are easily cleaned because the stains do not reach the material as much. In the case of fabrics, any liquid is absorbed much faster and the stain remains. When it comes to cleaning them, things are complicated, because there are specific cleaners, but some leave stains on the fabric. So now is the time to consider using a cover.
You can think about using a cover before the stains arrive in the day to day, or afterwards, when they have already arrived and you definitely realize that removing them can be quite difficult. A cover allows us to easily clean any stain that may arise. In the event that we had to make a new fabric for the sofa, this would cost us much more, so the cover can save us the cost of arranging the sofa fabric in the long run. The covers are quickly take off and on, and in case the stains are irreparable we can always buy a new cover and problem solved.
Types of chaise longue covers
We have on the one hand the covers of the stretch fabric chaise longue. These adapt to the shape of the sofa, but we must measure to be exact, because if the covers are large or small they can be somewhat uncomfortable when sitting, since they will move. These are easy to put on, but they have that problem, and that is that they do not adapt to all sizes and we must first look at how they look. In addition, if they are large, the effect may not be very aesthetic for our armchair and since we do not like them we may not use them. There is elastic and bi-elastic fabric, which stretches to all sides.
All the covers that are put on with ties on sofas are usually better adapted. They do not close all the parts but they are placed like a blanket over the most used areas and closed with ties in the corner area. These are aesthetically more beautiful, but as a disadvantage they have the problem that they may not cover everything perfectly and in the end we could have spots in some small area not covered.
In the case of normal sofas, elastic is usually used, but if it is a chaise longue, the most common is to find covers that are not complete, but adapt to the areas of highest wear. They are like blankets that we use on these areas of the sofa and that protect it. Easy to remove and clean and with a rather elegant effect.
Add a cover to the chaise longue
As we say, these last covers that do not cover the sofa completely are easy to add, since they adapt to the shape and they just lay on the couch. It's like adding a blanket and in some cases they have great functionality on the side of the arms, with pockets to hold the TV remote or a book. If it is elastic, then we simply must adapt it to the sofa and stretch it well so that it is well placed, without moving or leaving loose parts, which would look bad. This can easily be done between multiple people.
Maintenance of the chaise longue cover
The easy thing about these covers is that they are made in fabrics that are washable. It is better to choose a medium shade, not too light, so that the marks or stains are not too noticeable. It should be washed from time to time and we will put it back on the sofa in the simplest way, protecting the fabric of the chaise longue.
