A slipcover is a piece of fabric or material designed to cover and protect furniture, such as a sofa or chair. It typically slips over the existing upholstery like a glove, providing an additional layer of protection against stains, wear and tear, and pet hair. Slipcovers are often used for decorative purposes, allowing you to change the look of your furniture without having to purchase new pieces or reupholster the existing ones. They can be easily removed and washed, making them a practical and convenient option for maintaining cleanliness and style in your home.
