1 Protect Your Upholstery

A wingback recliner slipcover can be used to protect good quality upholstery from wear and tear, thus prolonging the life of your chair. Simply slip the cover over the top of the original upholstery to protect it from dirt, spills, sunlight and tears. You will need to make sure you use a stretch slipcover designed specifically for a wing recliner, as a regular wingback chair slipcover will prevent you from being able to use the recliner function.

2 Keep Your Home Clean

Slipcovers for wing recliners are much easier to keep clean than upholstery fabric because they are removable. You can take your cover off and shake out dust or food crumbs and then put it in the laundry. Most furniture covers are machine washable, meaning it’s easy to keep them fresh and clean – but always check the label to make sure.

3 Coordinate Your Wing Recliner with Your Decor

Fitting a slipcover on your reclining wing chair is a good way to get it to match to your color scheme. For example, if you buy a new suite with a matching sofa, loveseat and armchair, but want to keep your favorite winged back recliner too, you could get a slipcover in a coordinating color. Similarly, if you paint the walls or get a new carpet, using a slipcover is an easy way to change the color of your reclining chair at the same time.

4 Change the Look of Your Room in an Instant

Sometimes it’s nice to move things around and change your home’s appearance. Using ready made slipcovers on your recliner wing chair and other furniture is an affordable and quick way of giving a room a makeover. You may like to keep some spare slipcovers, so you can dress up your room according to the changing seasons or for the holidays. Putting on a new slipcover can be done in a matter of minutes, but it can make a big difference to the look and feel of a room.

5 Bring New Life to an Old Reclining Wing Chair

Another situation when a slipcover can come in handy is if you have an old, tired or outdated recliner wing chair that looks out of place with the rest of your furniture. Maybe you’ve been given a family hand-me-down or found one at a yard sale or thrift store. By fitting a slipcover on your recliner you can instantly conceal the worn or old-fashioned material underneath and make your chair look almost as good as new.

Wingback recliner slipcovers can be hard to find, but there is one available from SureFit that’s designed for reclining wing chairs with a box cushion seat. It’s made from Stretch Pique fabric and comes in a choice of eight colors.
