What we get asked, all the time.

Our covers are not one-size-fits-all by design, that's how covers end up loose. Instead, 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 on your sofa 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. There are no zippers to align, no buttons, no tools. On our stretch sofa covers, the Shape Selector on the product page guides you to the right fit, Straight, Corner L, or U-shape, so what arrives matches what you've measured.

Our covers are built from 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 boucle weaves for added texture and quiet visual depth. Across the range, the goal is the same: a fabric that looks considered, sits flat, and washes well at 30°C.

Covaba covers are 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 pieces that see heavy daily traffic, our Non-Slip range adds grip underneath so the cover stays where it should. Our boucle and jacquard weaves carry texture that lives well with an active home.

Removing a Covaba stretch cover takes under a minute. The soft-touch microfibre is smooth against skin, and the stretch design means there are no rigid zippers or fasteners along the seating surface. When a surface needs refreshing, the cover comes off and goes into the machine, back on the sofa the same day. A second cover in rotation is what most buyers find most practical for everyday use.

A Covaba cover sits between everyday life and the sofa underneath, small accidents like coffee rings, crumbs, or the occasional drink land on a layer that comes off and goes in the machine. We do not claim our covers are spill-proof, and we would rather you treated them as a washable refresh than a sealed barrier. Blot quickly with a damp cloth, then run the cover through a wash and let it air-dry back into shape. For pieces you want to protect more visibly, layering a Sofa Throw on top adds a second washable surface you can lift off in seconds.

Our stretch covers anchor with elastic bands that wrap underneath the sofa frame, which keeps the surface fabric smooth through normal sitting and movement. For sofas that get heavy daily use, our Non-Slip range is built with added grip underneath the seat sections to hold position more firmly. A short re-tuck every few weeks, corners, then along the backrest, keeps any stretch cover looking newly fitted.

Machine wash at 30°C with similar colors, tumble dry on low, and the cover settles back into shape without much fuss. We recommend skipping bleach and high heat, both shorten the life of any refined textile. Stored well between seasons, a Covaba cover stays smooth and true to color over time. Our boucle and jacquard weaves are the most textural choices in the range, and tend to wear in beautifully rather than wear out.

Every cover is photographed under consistent neutral light to stay true to the actual fabric. Slight tonal shifts are normal between screens and room lighting, a warm bulb at night will read differently from morning daylight. Our palette is intentionally tight: warm neutrals, deep tonal options, and our signature Boucle range, each chosen to sit well across most interiors. If the tone arrives off from what you expected, our returns policy covers you.

Standard delivery typically arrives within 3 to 5 working days once your order ships. Each order is tracked end-to-end and we email the tracking link as soon as it leaves the warehouse. If the cover doesn't fit, the color isn't quite right, or you've changed your mind, our refund policy sets out the return window and process. Anything that needs a human answer is handled by our team by email within one working day.

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, we recommend sizing 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. Refer to our size guide.

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, measure each section separately. Browse our stretch sofa covers to build your set.

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), 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 for specific instructions before washing.

Covaba covers are wash-and-rotate textile. Most covers are everyday-use textile, wipe spills quickly and let them air dry. Some specific covers (like our wingback & bergère range) have a water-repellent finish, check the product page for details.

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

Yes. Covaba fabrics are tested for skin contact and built from soft-touch microfibre with high-stretch elastane. The surface is gentle against bare skin and stays smooth through years of use and laundering.
