Steps to Cover a Recliner Chair
-
Measure Your Recliner:
- Use a measuring tape to measure the dimensions of your recliner, including the backrest, seat, arms, and footrest. This will help you choose the right size cover.
-
Choose the Right Cover:
- Select a recliner cover that fits your recliner's measurements. Explore our selection of recliner sofa covers, including options for 2-seater recliner covers, 3-seater recliner covers, 4-seater recliner sofa covers, and 5-seater recliner covers.
-
Prepare the Recliner:
- Clean your recliner thoroughly to remove any dust or debris. This will help the cover fit better and look smoother.
-
Fit the Cover:
- Start by placing the cover over the top of the recliner. Align the center of the cover with the center of the recliner to ensure it is evenly positioned.
- Pull the cover down over the backrest, arms, and seat, smoothing it out as you go to eliminate wrinkles.
-
Tuck and Secure the Cover:
- Tuck the excess fabric into the creases between the backrest, seat, and arms. This will help the cover fit snugly and prevent it from shifting.
- Use upholstery pins or clips to secure the cover in place if needed. This is especially useful for recliners with separate seat and back cushions.
-
Adjust the Cover:
- Adjust the cover to ensure it fits smoothly and tightly. Make sure the cover does not obstruct the reclining mechanism or footrest.
