Wing Chair Slipcover

Slipcovers for Wingback Chairs

If you have a nice formal wing chair you've either purchased or been given and it needs to be recovered, you can either have it professionally reupholstered or you can buy a slipcover. There are advantages to both. We will focus on the slipcover option.

Slipcovers allow for lots of versitility and are a lot less expensive than new upholstery. Additionally they can be taken off and washed if something spills on it and they're cheap enough that if you get bored with the color or print you can easily get a different one and change the look of your room.

The wing chair is unique because it has so many crevices and turns in the frame. They are designed to be formal looking so you can't have a loose fitting cover, it needs to fit tightly and exactly. The stretch fabric option are the most popular because of this very reason. You can tuck it into the right creases and it will suck tightly to the chair.

The most popular one sold at Amazon that we could find is the Stretch Velvet Mesquite Wing Chair Slipcover. It's very luxurious and has nearly perfect 5 star ratings. Customers stated, "These covers are beautiful, very soft, and they fit our chairs perfectly. I have seen covers that are triple the cost that do not look as good as this one. The material is velvet feeling and it is a very rich dark brown." and "This cover looks just as good on my old chair as the picture shows. It made a torn up old chair look so neat and new. Great product."

It's machine washable (important and conveninent) and you dry it on low. It's made of 6% spandex which is why it can stretch easily over the chair. It comes with instructions on how to place it correctly. For only $25 it's a very cheap way to recover your torn or ragged furniture and make it look new again.
