Measurement Guide for Purchasing a Recliner Sofa Cover

Before purchasing a recliner sofa cover, it's crucial to take accurate measurements to ensure a proper fit. Follow these steps to measure your recliner sofa effectively:

Step 1: Gather Tools Prepare a measuring tape, paper, and pen to record your measurements.

Step 2: Determine the Type of Recliner Identify the type of recliner sofa you have. Some recliners have a single seat, while others are two-seaters or larger.

Step 3: Measure the Width

• For a Single Recliner: Measure the width of the widest part of the recliner, typically from arm to arm. Include any protruding armrests or accessories.

• For Multi-Seater Recliner Sofa: Measure the width of each individual seat, including armrests if they are fixed. If there is a center console or space between seats, measure its width as well.

Step 4: Measure the Depth

• For a Single Recliner: Measure the depth from the back of the recliner to the front edge of the seat. If the footrest or leg rest extends when reclined, measure the depth in the extended position as well.

• For Multi-Seater Recliner Sofa: Measure the depth of each seat in the same manner as for a single recliner. If there are varying depths due to reclining mechanisms, measure each position.

Step 5: Measure the Height

• Measure the height from the floor to the highest point of the backrest. If the backrest has a headrest or cushions that extend higher, include their height as well.

Step 6: Measure the Armrests

• For a Single Recliner: Measure the width of each armrest at its widest point.

• For Multi-Seater Recliner Sofa: Measure the width of each armrest for each seat, considering any variations.

Step 7: Measure the Footrest/Recline Length

• For a Single Recliner: If the recliner has an extendable footrest or leg rest, measure its length when fully extended.

• For Multi-Seater Recliner Sofa: Measure the footrest length for each individual seat, considering variations.

Step 8: Note Any Special Features

If your recliner sofa has any additional features such as cup holders, storage compartments, or detachable headrests, take note of their dimensions and positions.

Step 9: Double-Check and Record Measurements

Ensure that your measurements are accurate by double-checking each dimension. Write down all measurements on your paper.

Step 10: Choose the Right Size Cover

Refer to the diagram above to ensure it falls within the recommended cover size.

Taking precise measurements ensures that the recliner sofa cover you purchase fits snugly and enhances the appearance and protection of your furniture.

Step 1: Installing the Backrest Slipcover

1. Begin by standing behind the sofa recliner.
2. Hold the backrest slipcover with the top edge aligned with the top of the backrest.
3. Gently drape the slipcover over the backrest, ensuring it hangs evenly on both sides.
4. Tuck any excess fabric between the backrest and the seat cushions for a snug fit.
5. If your slipcover comes with elastic ties or fasteners, use them to secure the slipcover in place. Attach them to any loops or hooks provided on the slipcover or the recliner.

Step 2: Installing the Left Armrest Slipcover

1. Move to the left side of the recliner.
2. Slide the left armrest slipcover over the armrest, aligning the top edge with the top of the armrest.
3. Adjust the slipcover so that it fits smoothly over the armrest's contours.
4. Tuck any excess fabric between the armrest and the seat cushions.
5. If applicable, use elastic ties or fasteners to secure the slipcover in place.

Step 3: Installing the Right Armrest Slipcover

1. Move to the right side of the recliner.
2. Repeat the same process as in Step 2, but now with the right armrest slipcover.
3. Ensure the slipcover fits snugly and looks even on the armrest.
4. Tuck any excess fabric and use elastic ties or fasteners if provided.

Step 4: Installing the Recliner Seat Slipcover

1. Stand in front of the recliner, facing the seat.
2. Hold the seat slipcover and align its edges with the edges of the recliner seat.
3. Drape the slipcover over the seat, making sure it covers the seat area completely.
4. Gently tuck the fabric into the crevices between the seat and backrest cushions.
5. Smooth out any wrinkles or folds for a neat appearance.
6. Secure the slipcover using elastic ties or fasteners if included.
7. Repeat this step for additional seats.

Final Touches:

• Once all the components are covered, walk around the sofa recliner to ensure the slipcover looks even and properly fitted.
• Adjust and tuck any loose fabric as needed for a polished appearance.
