Innovative Textile Solutions Ultimate Sofa Protector, Grey

I bought this product to cover a full-size sofa to protect the fabric from the claws of our aged cat who uses them to help her get onto her favorite piece of lounging furniture. I also purchased it to replace a similar, smaller cover that only draped over the tops of the armrests and only half-way down the back. (The previous cover slipped constantly because there was really nothing but gravity holding it in place. Even tucking it between and around cushions didn't help).The features that prompted me to select this product were its complete sofa coverage and the integrated straps, as pictured, that are meant to hold it in place (...more about those straps later).When I received the slipcover, I pulled the couch away from the wall and positioned the cover over our couch. Then I went from corner to corner, inserted the integrated cloth straps into the D-rings sewn at each corner and tightened the straps until the cover was snug. Unfortunately, the strap-and-D-ring system was woefully inadequate to prevent the cover from slipping and bunching up. The D-rings are made of light-gauge pot-metal and spread apart if subjected to any more than light tension. You can't tighten the straps sufficiently to be effective. And, in my opinion, there are not enough of them to pull the cover tight to the couch.The cover itself is great. It's the anchoring system that's pathetic.Then I had a "eureka" moment: I purchased a dozen "Brown Hat and Scarf Attacher with Extra Heavy Clips" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DV561W2/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_3) heavy-duty alligator clips with long elastic straps in a color to match the sofa, and attached them in strategic locations to put tension on the slipcover flaps (two at each front corner and three at each back corner). Now the cover works very well. It adheres tight to the sofa and doesn't slip even under heavy use. What's more important, our cat approves.I would have given the Innovative Textile Solutions Ultimate Cover five stars had it not been for the ridiculous design of the straps that don't work. I should not have had to buy another product to hold the cover in place.

I would have given this 5 stars except for the fact that it gives no dimensions! The material is wonderful. I have 3 90 pound dogs. 2 shed like crazy. This looks much better then a sheet thrown over my sofa. It could have been about 3 more inches on each side to fit properly. Please, look into putting dimensions on your merchandise.

Pros:Really nice top fabric - very soft, nice color.Looks nice - like an expensive cover.After two washings, the top is even softer, and still looks great.Animal hair does NOT stick to this fabric.No shrinkage with washing.The straps are a perfect length.This fits in a normal washer, but this fabric is also easy to spot clean.Cons:The liner fabric ripped after the first washing. (It's still very usable - the top shows no wear at all.)After washing, the liner sticks to our leather sofa. (Annoying, but again - still usable.)My sofa:Old leather, 31" high, 40" deep, 81" long. It is more than long enough in all directions, and there is plenty of room to adjust the straps. I believe this would fit a larger sofa easily.

I have a 1.5 year old and this cover has saved my microfiber couch from countless spills and other accidents. I also have two cats so it works well to keep hair off the underside of the cover, but the cover itself collects a lot of lint and pet hair. I just throw it in the wash about every two weeks and it looks great. Washes and dries very well. I only have one gripe: I have to tuck the cover neatly back into the cushions every few days or so. I'm a perfectionist so I like the seams to be tight and seamless, where others might not care so much, so this might be a bother. I would recommend this cover.

I like it. Just put it on my sofa and with some tucking and fitting, it looks nice. Larger(154 in vs 110 inches long) than the less expensive covers. It covers the sofa arms and then some. Fabric soft and suedelike. Also wider and slightly thicker fabric. Well made. I have both types and this one I'll swap out with the cheaper one. Good value. You can take care of the movement problem with a few well placed upholstery screws. Cheap and on Amazon as well. I bought some this time along with the cover. Glad I did. They keep everything​ nice and snug.

I really like this protector. I read the other reviews - I have washed it once and it is in very good shape. The lining held up nicely in the wash. (Maybe they changed the lining). It's long and goes over the arms of the couch great. My couch is a micro fiber and this cover stays in place fairly well. My cat threw up on it and it washed out great. You can't see any stain! I agree with the other reviews that the straps are awkward. I tucked mine out of the way. I also stuffed a heavy curtain rod behind the seat cushions to hold the seat back and seat cushion cover more in place. I would recommend this cover if you do not have a leather type couch. It probably would slide a lot if you had a leather couch. I don't know any protector that would stay in place on a slick surface couch or chair. I plan to buy a matching chair cover.3/30/2016 UPDATEThe main material has held up nicely in the was and with pet accidents no stains show with washing.However I would give the backing /lining material a minus 1Star. After a couple washes the lining started coming apart. Another washing the lining is in shreds. I'm Very disappointed in the company. :(
