Many years ago on the day I got my sofa set I ordered these in the variety with arms. They were washed every few weeks for 7 years and held up wonderfully! This time I purchased a leather sofa & again immediatley bought this grey armless one, only because my color scheme changed. These give you the ability to ""wash"" your sofas, leather or cloth. They warm up leather furniture in winter & have saved mine from the wear & dirt of 3 dogs.
