Girls, I'd love to know how you handle it: do you cover the living room sofa with a throw blanket, a cover, or just use it as is? My mom always covered the sofa with a blanket to protect the upholstery. I followed her example, and now the sofa's upholstery looks beautiful, but the kids jumped all over it... We bought a new one, and my husband is upset, saying why cover a new sofa? It's like using a remote in a case... But the kids often eat snacks in front of the TV, and washing a throw blanket seems easier.
Девочки, подскажите, где покупаете пледы на диван? Может, у кого-то есть проверенные артикулы? Я из…

Mine are covered only because the faux leather is peeling and flaking off. Nobody's covered theirs for like 20 years already.

Mom covers hers, she has dogs.
I don't cover the couch at home, the kids eat in the kitchen. The covers are removable

Nobody eats on the couch at my place, but I cover it anyway – it just feels cozier, I guess.

We don't have kids yet, and we don't eat on the couch, but it's covered with 3 blankets that match the couch. And our couch is very, very light, lighter than my skin. When guests come over, I remove the blankets.
No matter how beautiful or expensive a couch is, it's awful when it's dirty and stained...
Cover it up.

I think the same as your husband. After the last winter cleaning, I temporarily covered it to keep the cats off while we weren't using that area. But they decided otherwise and still rub their fur all over the sofa 🤣

I don't cover it. If I do cover it, it's for 5 minutes until the kids pull it off. They've definitely messed it up quite a bit, but we clean it periodically with a steam cleaner. What can you do, nothing lasts forever. We won't mind throwing it out later. You don't buy a sofa for life, right? If I haven't managed to scrub out stains before guests arrive, I might cover it with a throw blanket, but the kids pull that off too, anyway.

I bought stretch covers, they're a lifesaver! My son stained them, so I took them off and washed them. The covers are velour, I have mustard yellow and brown ones, and the sofa looks brand new every time. Best solution ever!

My sofa wouldn't last a week without a blanket – the kids would destroy it. I bought 2 plain ones, a plush throw, and I alternate them. You could get one that matches the upholstery – it looks neat and doesn't clash.

DashinaMamasha I have a straight sofa without armrests. One like this is 233883593, 51739512 on WB. At first, the mustard-colored one shed fuzz from the inside, and I bought it cheaper, they've really jacked up the price.
