Selecting the perfect sofa throw cover isn’t just about style—it’s about ensuring full coverage, practicality, and comfort for your UK home. Whether you’re dressing a compact two-seater or a sprawling sectional, the right size matters. At Sofa Cover UK, our versatile sofa throws come in sizes to fit every sofa type. Here’s your step-by-step guide to finding the ideal match.
1. Measure Your Sofa
Start by measuring your sofa’s dimensions:
-
Length: Measure from one armrest to the other.
-
Width: Measure the seat depth (front to back).
-
Height: For sectional sofas, include the backrest height.
Pro Tip: Add 15-20cm to each measurement for a draped, relaxed look.
2. Match Throw Sizes to Sofa Types
-
Single Sofa (1-2 Seater): Opt for throws for sofas around 130cm x 180cm.
-
3-Seater Sofa: Choose large sofa throws (150cm x 200cm) for full coverage.
-
Sectional/L-Shaped: Use extra large sofa throws (200cm x 250cm+) to cover entire sections.
-
Armchairs: Compact sofa throws UK (100cm x 150cm) work best.
Our size guide simplifies this process with pre-measured options.
3. Consider Draping Style
The way you drape affects sizing needs:
-
Full Coverage: Huge throws for sofas (200cm x 300cm) tuck neatly under cushions for a fitted look.
-
Casual Drape: Large sofa throws (150cm x 200cm) loosely draped over one side.
-
Layered Look: Combine smaller grey sofa throws with blankets for texture.
4. Factor in Functionality
-
Spill Protection: Oversized sofa throws and covers (e.g., 200cm x 250cm) ensure maximum spill coverage.
-
Pet-Friendly: Extra large sofa throws shield entire sofas from muddy paws.
-
Seasonal Use: Smaller green throws for sofas work for summer; bulkier ones suit winter.
5. UK-Specific Tips
-
Humidity: Breathable fabrics like cotton or linen need less overhang to avoid dampness.
-
Heated Rooms: Lightweight large sofa throws prevent overheating.
-
Space Constraints: In smaller UK living rooms, avoid overly bulky throws that overwhelm the space.
