Let me start by say this is a great slipcover set and I would buy it again. The quality is 5/5. The feel is velvet. Each piece is fitted with stretch straps. The ease of installation is a 3/5. It’s not overly difficult, but the difficulties lie with installation. Pulling the straps through to the back, then pulling them together for the clip isn’t easy. Also the hardest part was putting the seat cover on with the straps. You need to tip the couch in order to tie the straps to the feet. Not easy. BUT, once it’s on… it fits, it stays, and is comfortable.
I have a 4 recliner, 12 ft. sofa that we divide into 2 pieces. The armless side would typically go between the armed pieces. The recliner sizes are large (2 armed sofas are 85") and I tried different covers from Wlmt that were too small. These covers, which are a wonderful velour material in light gray, and quite stretchy fit like a glove AND they stay put! I must tell you though, I put most of these on by myself and that is a WORKOUT! There are multiple loops and plastic pieces to hook to that keep the covers tight. The main reason I wanted the covers was that I sit nightly on the right side of the armed sofa and the bottom cushion material (microfiber) has stretched. I couldn't get the material to look tight again and was contemplating NEW sofas because of it. So thought I would give covers a try since we really like these sofas a lot even though they are 12+ yrs old. WOW, Not only do the covers feel wonderful but they HIDE that awful stretched bottom cushion completely because they are so tight and stay that way! For about $80 I transformed both sofas and even have 2 arm covers left over if ever need replacements. GET THESE! You won't regret it but I would recommend 2 people to install them after turning your A/C down and a ceiling fan ON! It's a workout for sure. p.s. my neighbor came over and thought I had new sofas.....
We have a light tan (almost cream) leather recliner sofa that is in excellent condition and we want to keep it looking good but we have two rambunctious dogs who run through mud and like to wrestle on it. We bought it for $70 in December 2023 - the only thing wrong with it is the color, just not practical for us or fitting for the room. We got a cover just like this for another sofa (non-reclining) and it was so easy to put on and we loved it so we figured we'd give this a try for the leather recliner sofa. It's a full length sofa (not a loveseat), about 85" so we ordered the 75-100".
I didn't think to take photos until he was almost half way done but at least you can see the type of recliner sofa we have - it's two wide recliners with no center non-reclining section. This was obviously important when I was shopping and it took me a while to find someone who had a sofa like ours that this cover worked well for, so I wanted to be sure to mention that and include photos.
The navy color is great and the fabric is so soft and stretchy.
This was very hard to put on even though we ordered one that would supposedly fit a longer sofa, and this isn't an overly stuffed sofa. Now my husband didn't realize the back of the sofa was covered in a piece of leather that was just attached with Velcro so that might have sped things up for him (I knew and assumed he had noticed, my fault). He only needed me for about three minutes but he had to really pull and work to get these pieces on and as others have said - "I wonder how long the straps will last?" - they're pulled so tight. I think it took him half and hour, but he was complaining the entire time - was not fun all of the reaching and tugging. I wouldn't have been able to do it on my own - I can't reach as far as he can.
It is a complicated thing to cover, so it's understandable that it might not be a breeze to put on, but now I'm thinking we'll never wash it because chances are it may shrink even with line drying and we might not be able to get it back on properly - or want to go through the hassle (I'll give him a while to recover and forget the annoyance before I try to wash it). So now we're covering this with sheets and only pull those off when we have company or change the sheets. We'll try washing it eventually, when it needs it. It could use better labeling but we got through that bit (which piece went where and which way) easily.
This covered the back fully, no problem for us there. The one end, under the arm on the bottom always pulls up because that's the side the dogs jump onto from the door - they launch onto the sofa from the doorway 8 feet away so it tugs on the fabric. But so far, after two months, the rest is staying put and we use this very hard - always reclining when we're on it - and the dogs are always on it (two vizslas).
The pockets they show in the photos are handy but I think they're mostly there to cover where you pull on the handle/leaver to recline - to cover excess soiling from touching that area often and to cover any holes that might appear where your tugging on the fabric repeatedly. There are no holes for handle access, they are covered by fabric. But as I said, the pocket fabric will cover any wear well if you reach into the pocket and then pull the handle.
It looks nice because it's in pieces, not one big stretch to fit piece which is why we loved the one we got for our non-recliner sofa - it had covers for each cushion so it looks natural, not like a cover. Most people didn't know it was a cover on the non-recliner sofa. It may be easier to tell on the recliner sofa because of the foot rest area but not likely - and I like the sleeker look. Plus, you don't have to wash it all at once - just wash which ever piece/s needs washing.
What I love is there are so many colors and they're affordable so you can change them for the holidays or by season - or just try out a new color for that room and see how it works before you commit to a new piece of furniture in that color. Or if you have a piece of furniture you love but it clashes with other stuff, you can cover it - or cover them. Or make two mismatched pieces match, etc. They're great. And they're making them better and better right now.
This is a hard room to furnish with walls we won't ever paint (beautiful hardwood walnut custom paneling) indestructible terra cotta colored tiles, and a red/terra cotta brick fireplace so getting to see what colors work on furniture (other than orange or brown) in this room is nice and we can use that information for new furniture in the future. The recliner covers are more expensive but for our regular sofa I only paid twenty something, so we could change the color every couple of months for that price - especially since the brand new sofa was free. We only get cheap/free furniture due to the dogs for now.
I hope that was helpful to someone.
This has worked perfectly for my very large two seat, reclining leather sofa. I didn’t like the dark brown leather color so I got the ivory cover and I’ve been very happy with it for almost a year now. The light Color makes a big difference now, and the fabric is very breathable and comfortable. It feels good, and stays in place for the most part, only sometimes needing to be tucked back in. Easy install, and worked great for the wide Sized Reclining legs that my sofa has. Hopefully, it’s still on the market for a future repurchase when this one may eventually wear out.
I'm extremely pleased with UTICOR Taupe Extra Wide Reclining Sofa Covers. Reading the instructions is Key to getting as close to a custom fit as possible. These covers are very soft, stretchy, and easy to install. Once tied down, the sections stay in place not matter how much I move around on them. My sofa is in excellent condition, but is peeling after about 4 years of heavy use.
After inspecting each piece, I put them into a Quick machine wash cycle. I then dried them on Med heat for about 15 minutes.
I only used 2 out of the 7 plastic strap connectors because my sofa has a relatively low back [Only 39' from top of back to floor & width of 78']. The straps are not very long, but the fabric is extremely stretchy.
Picture#1: The cover storage bag is really nice with a handle on top. The instructions were clear and easy to follow.
Picture #2: I extended the right side and installed 3 of the 6 total pieces. As you can see, the left side is peeling and the Leather Paint I had used didn't hold up long term.
Picture #3: The "Pen Trick". A fellow reviewer suggested this tip & I really thank them for it. I used a click pen to feed the straps through to the back of the sofa. This made tying the straps down at the bottom of my sofa effortless.
Picture #4: Everything is in place, and it truly makes my reclining sofa look brand new. I plan to purchase the Light Grey next.
I wouldn't recommend these for pet owners. This cover is neither waterproof nor "claw proof". Other than that, it's perfect for giving new life to a well loved reclining sofa.

We were advised by Fibrenew leather repair that there is no fix for peeling bonded leather. Our couches are very comfortable and recliners all function perfectly, so we decided to search for covers. We were not expecting much but product reviews were good, so we took a chance on these. We did not use arm covers, as a staple or some other means would be required to secure the front of the arm to make it stay on these Cindy Crawford reclining sofas. Putting the covers on was intuitive but a little tricky reaching in to attach the back. The second one went on much faster. As our sofa back is not split all the way to the bottom we also had to improvise but we’re pleased with the outcome.
Overall we are happy with the look and quality of the covers that will help extend the life of our rec room sofas.
