A slipcover simply denotes easily removable fabric wrapping for a couch or chair. Alternatively, it can be termed as a removable fitted cloth covering for furniture or other upholstered items. Often called loose cover, it is a fitted protective cover that can be slipped off and on an upholstered furniture item.

Custom wingback chairs include a specially tailored body cover and separate covers for loose back and seat cushions. Furniture can have any number of back and seat cushions, including pillow back styles. In case of attached back cushions, the body of the slipcover will go over the cushion.

Online stores offer a huge selection of fabrics for making slipcovers, for example, simple cotton ducks, chenille, and floral. Their pricing includes separate covers for all loose seat and back cushions or pillows. It is also based on the length of furniture, number of loose cushions, fabric, and skirt style. 100 per cent cotton slipcovers are available for wingback chairs.
