Recliner Cover
A recliner cover is a protective and decorative textile designed to fit over a recliner chair. These covers serve multiple purposes, enhancing both the appearance and longevity of the furniture.
Material
Recliner covers are manufactured from a diverse range of fabrics, each offering different characteristics:
- Polyester: A common and affordable choice, polyester is durable, wrinkle-resistant, and relatively easy to clean. It is often used in stretch covers.
- Spandex/Elastane: Frequently blended with polyester, spandex provides elasticity, allowing the cover to conform to the chair's shape and accommodate movement.
- Cotton: Offers a natural feel and breathability. Cotton covers are typically less stretchable than polyester or spandex blends and may require more frequent cleaning.
- Velvet: Provides a luxurious look and soft texture. Velvet covers are generally more delicate and require specialized cleaning.
- Microfiber: A synthetic fabric known for its softness, durability, and stain resistance.
- Waterproof Fabrics: Often polyester-based with a waterproof coating, these covers protect against spills and stains, suitable for homes with children or pets.
Purpose
- Protection: Shields the recliner from wear and tear, spills, stains, dust, and pet hair.
- Renewal: Revitalizes the appearance of older or worn recliners.
- Style Update: Allows for easy changes in décor without replacing the furniture.
- Hygiene: Provides a removable and washable layer, improving cleanliness.
Function
Recliner covers are designed to accommodate the mechanics of a reclining chair. Key functional features include:
- Elastic Straps/Corners: Secure the cover to the chair frame, preventing slippage during reclining movements.
- Stretchability: Allows the cover to conform to the chair's shape throughout the full range of motion.
- Separate Pieces/Sectional Design: Many covers are designed in multiple pieces to allow for easy installation and removal, and to accommodate different recliner styles.
- Armrest Covers: Often included to provide full protection and a cohesive look.
- Headrest Covers: Some covers include separate headrest covers for added convenience.

- Seasonal Changes: Allows for quick and easy décor updates.

- Universal Covers: Designed to fit a range of recliner sizes and styles.
- Quilted Covers: Offer added comfort and durability, often with a decorative pattern.
