Sometimes that means foregoing big item purchases like furniture. However, just because shoppers might not be able to afford brand new furniture doesn't mean they have to forego the 'new furniture experience. 'Budget conscious consumers are finding that slipcovers offers them a viable alternative to buying a brand new chair, sofa or loveseat. Thanks to the Internet, finding the readymade perfect slipcover is just a few mouse clicks away. Sites like 1-800SlipCovers.com offer a full range of readymade slipcovers, with a wide range of styles and colors available. Covers can be ordered online and delivered straight to your door. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on new furniture, a slipcover can create a new-look for any room. The problem of furniture with mismatching colors can be solved quickly and fairly inexpensively using slipcovers. Want to make sure that the dog, baby, or kids don't ruin your furniture with their muddy hands, feet and paws? Slipcovers again come in handy. Traditionally slipcovers have been customized to fit specific furniture pieces; while not as expensive as new furniture, customized slipcovers can cost between $400 and $1000, slightly less than the cost of upholstery. However, a realistic alternative has emerged in the form of readymade slipcover, manufactured by companies like Sure Fit Inc. (1-800Slipcovers deals exclusively in Sure Fit products). They cost between between $39 and $189, making them affordable for everyone. These slipcovers are 'semi-fitted', with a loose shape that can tailored to fit almost any size of furniture using strategically placed elastic. This elastic is completely hidden from view, and keeps the slip cover in place. A variety of fabrics are available, from velvet and Chenille to 100% cotton and denim. These slipcovers are durable and can be washed again and again with minimal fading and shrinkage.
