Review on Protect Your Furniture From Spills And Pet Damage With H.VERSAILTEX 100% Waterproof Sofa Slipcover - Non-Slip And Washable Loveseat Cover by Erin Walker

Wanting to preserve the upholstery on a new recliner, I sought a non-slip, waterproof cover that secured well. Ironically, this cover matched very well the color of the new recliner and the quilting looks like it "fits" rather than being an "afterthought". This cover appears well constructed and the only cleaning thus far has been to brush away lint, though the "anti slip" side does not grab onto my recliner's fabric surface very well. It did have a smell of rubber when opened that dissipated quickly without needing laundering. Living in an area where rain often occurs throughout the fall, winter and spring with resulting wet clothing, I wanted something water repellent but have yet to know how well this cover works in that regard due to it being the dry season. While the advertisement picture and description depicts an elastic strap to help secure the top section, the one I received did not contain an elastic strap; the picture on the packaging also did not depict an elastic strap to help secure the top, something I did not notice until opening the package and placing the cover on my recliner. Although the cover is long enough to hang over the top, which helps secures it in place when upright, the lack of elastic strap predictably causes significant slippage when the recliner moves. I would have given it a five star rating had it come with the elastic strap as advertised (and the elastic strap worked as anticipated), but continually resituating the cover due to slippage has me considering other ways to keep the cover secured.
