Pillow and furniture covers

The cheapest honest way to change a room: keep the cushion, change what is over it.

A cover is the only piece of soft furnishing you can own four versions of without owning four of anything. The insert stays, the shell comes off, and a sofa that looked wrong in January looks deliberate in June for the price of a takeaway. It also means the thing that actually gets dirty is the thing that goes in the machine.

Sizes here are cover sizes, which is the number people get wrong. A cover should match the insert or sit fractionally under it, because a cover cut larger than its filling reads as a bag with something in it. If you are between sizes, take the smaller one and let the corners fill out.

Inserts are not included with covers in this range unless the listing says otherwise. Close the zip before washing, and turn the cover inside out if the face carries embroidery or applique.
