Your sofa is your haven; the place where you hang out after work, call your bestie, down a tub of ice cream, gorge on a box set and – when the stairs are too much – sleep. But with all this heavy duty lounging, your sofa can get pretty messed up: food and drink stains, not to mention what your pet drags in. So it’s time for a new sofa, right? Not necessarily so; these fantastic-looking sofa covers will give your existing big seat a lease of life, are a far cheaper fix that spilling for a new sofa, and still let you find that nice comfy spot where you most like to lounge.
