What we get asked, all the time.

Our covers are not one-size-fits-all by design, that's how covers end up loose. Each stretch cover is sized to a specific sofa shape: Straight in 1 to 4 seats, Corner L for sectionals with a chaise, and U-shape for larger configurations. The Shape Selector on each product page walks you through the choice, and our Size Guide shows exactly where to measure before you order.

A stretch cover takes around ten minutes the first time. Drape it over the frame, tuck the elastic edges under the cushions, and adjust the corners until the fabric sits flat. No zippers to align, no buttons, no tools.

Soft-touch microfibre with elastane woven in for stretch. The microfibre gives a smooth, calm hand-feel; the elastane lets the cover hug the frame instead of sitting loose. Selected ranges are finished in jacquard or bouclé weaves for added texture. The goal is the same across the range: a fabric that looks considered, sits flat, and washes well at 30°C.

Built for daily living. The soft-touch microfibre is woven tight enough to resist surface marks, and the stretch fit holds firm through hours of use. A 30°C wash refreshes the cover between cycles. For heavy daily traffic, our Non-Slip range adds grip underneath.

A Covaba cover sits between everyday life and the sofa underneath, coffee rings, crumbs and the occasional drink land on a layer that comes off and goes in the machine. Blot quickly with a damp cloth, then run the cover through a wash and let it air-dry back into shape.

Our stretch covers anchor with elastic bands that wrap underneath the sofa frame, keeping the surface smooth through normal sitting and movement. For sofas that get heavy use, the Non-Slip range adds grip under the seat sections. A short re-tuck every few weeks keeps any stretch cover looking newly fitted.

Measure your sofa from the outer edge of one armrest to the other (length), and front-to-back of the seat (width). Match to the closest size on each product page, or use the in-page size guide. If you're between sizes or your sofa has thick rolled arms, size up for a more comfortable fit.

Sofa length doesn't reflect full outer dimensions. Arm style, cushion thickness and back depth change the actual fit. Measuring all three dimensions (length, width, height) is the safest way to choose.

Stretch covers adapt to most arm styles and cushion thicknesses. Compare your sofa's outer dimensions against the size guide and consider sizing up if your setup is bulky.

Two. Each piece of an L-shape sofa needs its own cover. For U-shape, three. Order one cover per piece and measure each section separately.

Yes. Our stretch covers are designed to grip around the cushions even when they're attached to the frame. The fabric tucks into the gaps between the cushions and the seat.

Most Covaba covers are machine-washable cold (max 30°C / 86°F) on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or air dry. Specific care instructions are listed on each product page, always check before washing.

Most covers are machine-washable on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Some specific products (like water-repellent wingback covers) may require hand-washing. Always check the product page before washing.

With proper care, no. Wash cold, avoid direct sunlight when drying, and don't use bleach. The weave is dense and the fibres tightly twisted to resist pilling. After several washes, expect the fabric to soften, that's normal.

Yes. The fabrics used for our stretch sofa, recliner and chair covers are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified (certificate 24.HCN.24273, tested by Hohenstein Laboratories): every component is checked for harmful substances and safe for direct skin contact.
