Lightweight Cotton T-Cushion Loveseat Slipcover - Natural

Lightweight Cotton T-Cushion Loveseat Slipcover - NaturalI ordered the loveseat t-cushion cover in natural. The color is much khaki-er in person than it is in the photo actually looks and feels like a heavy unbleached muslin, whereas the photo looks more like a winter white or off-white. Very loose weave (like a heavy muslin), not what I would consider cotton duck at all. My other items that are "cotton duck" are the weight of at least a midweight denim or twill; this item is light enough weight that the white and medium green print of the loveseat shows through easily. I'm not sure if washing it will shrink the fibers enough to close up the weave some. I will most likely return the item for something of more substantial, upholstery weight since the combination of color and weave sort of looks like I've thrown a feed sack over my loveseat. As far as fit goes, you'd want something tucked into the edges to keep the cover in; it does shift quite a bit (probably in part because of the lightweight fabric); a rolled-up paper or piece of smaller pvc piping would probably work fine, or a good-sized dowel. But it's better than throwing a sheet over the furniture and, at this price on Amazon, cheaper than most sheets. :)

I was skeptical when I ordered this based on the reviews. Notice that there is a no refund policy! But options are certinaly limited with t-cushion couches. Once I got it (only took about 5 days) I washed and dried it on high to shrink the fibers and soften a little bit. It also got the wrinkles out. Then I followed the directions and put it on my loveseat. It didn't look great so I decided to put the cushion backs (mine are more like large pillows) on the outside of the cover. Luckily I have a khacki sofa and it looks good witht the natural color of this cover. I would attach a picture but I don't see how to do that. Some reviews noted that the cover is thin and shows prints through. I could see that being a problem if I had a busy print so beware of that.

I will be ordering the cover for the chair very soon. Not exactly sure why but it costs twice as much.

Fabric is scratchy, thin, and feels cheap more like a drop cloth than a furniture cover. I would not recommend purchasing. The "natural" color is more brown than the cream in the photo. I could live with the color, but not the sub par texture. Ended up putting it under another newly purchased slipcover (trying to cover a red chair in a lighter color). I am using this one as an extra layer to protect the chair from my dogs. I would be embarrassed to have this slipcover on the chair alone.

I read the reviews and thought okay if this is too see through I can use it as a pattern to make my own slipcover. The fabric isn't stiff like a heavy duck would be and I really can't see through it!! I haven't washed it yet but I expect it will get even softer. I'm using it in a rental cottage so I'm ordering another for backup.
