This post is in collaboration with Comfort Works.
Ever since my Fall and Christmas home tours, I have received so many questions, comments and emails about our beautiful linen blend slipcovers, so I wanted to tell you all of the details about them today!
I love the look of slipcovered sofas and sectionals. They really work for so many different types of decor- from vintage farmhouse to even more modern styles. They are also really fun and easy to change to get a different color or look for various seasons.
I ordered these linen blend slipcovers from Comfort Works before the holidays and they have transitioned so beautifully through Fall, Christmas, and now Spring decor.
The process was pretty easy and as you can see, the slips fit perfectly. I was so pleasantly surprised when they actually fit better than the ones that originally came with the sofa. I ordered a bunch of swatches to see the different fabrics in my space and I decided on the Leige Biscuit (see samples here). This fabric has a very laid back vibe and is super durable with my 3 littles. It has a nanocoating that makes liquids bead up for easy cleaning. Whenever they get a spot on them, I just wipe it down with a damp rag
Comfort Works custom makes each slipcover, so they gave me an easy diagram of the measurements they needed and I was able to collect all of them in under an hour- so it wasn't too bad. Within a couple weeks, they were mailed to me in a protective bag and all I had to do was pull them out and put them right on my couches. I have to admit I was holding my breath a little while I put them on- not that I doubted their amazing seamstresses- but I did doubt my measuring ability! All was well though, and they fit like a glove. A beautiful linen blend glove. I like to steam them every month or so but for the most part they are very low maintenance.
Here is a close up of the fabric- I always like to see it close up and I really love the texture. You can see that they closely match my vintage grain sack pillows so you can kind of get an idea of their color there as well.
I had them sew velcro under the arms to give it a more fitted look, but I really do love it when it is just hanging loosely as well.
I am actually designing some new fabrics for this room and I will be adding pillows to coordinate my grain sack pillows, so stay tuned.
Here are a couple pictures of them through the holidays:

I just found you on Pinterest. I'm in need of a slip cover so I looked up Comfort Care. The covers dont look like yours plus the color you have wasnt mentioned. How long have you had yours? Is there a phone number for them. Hopefully they are in the US. THANKS for any info you can give me

They are in Australia but have great customer service.

I had the same experience. I went to the website and they have Ikea, Potterybarn, Muji and made to order categories. I clicked on made to order and the color you mention is not listed. Could you please clarify.
Kristen Whitby
Mine were made a few years ago, and I don't believe they have the same color anymore. They do have some that are very similar though. I would order samples if you are unsure.

It looks like you have the same (or so similar) couch and chairs I do. Plus, the choices you made as far as piping, pleats etc are just what I have & want duplicated. I checked the Comfort Works webste & they gave no indication of price. Before I pursue further, can you give me an idea of what a sofa cover like yours would cost. Thanks in advance,
Pam
Do you recommend white sheer curtains?
Kristen Whitby
I don't use sheers, but I think they are pretty layered with heavier drapes.

Hi,
I am interested in recovering an old couch and possibly buy a new piece IKEA furniture. I really liked your fabric for your furniture in this post. I was looking on the "Comfort Works" website and notice that they do not carry the Leige Biscuit anymore. I notice this was an older post you made too. I have a child and need something that is kid friendly, waterproof and washable.
Is your fabric washable?
I wonder if the current Luna Flax-Linen Blend) is the same fabric as yours?
Did you have your furniture truly "custom made" or was it made to fit IKEA or Pottery Barn furniture?
Thanks!

Mine wasn't washable, and it looks like they don't carry the same type of fabric anymore.
