I purchased this slipcover to protect my (Joss & Main) loveseat from my cat. As soon as I assembled my new sofa, my cat was delighted because he saw it as a brand new scratching post :( After trying out a number of ways to try to prevent him from scratching, I decided to buy a slipcover and see if that would work. This once looked to be the right size and was competitively priced based on my research. It fit my sofa well, although it does require you to tuck it in every time you get up, which can be quite annoying. I really liked the design and I washed it a couple of times successfully. Not only did my cat no longer scratch my loveseat, but he basically never even came close to it anymore. Not sure why that was exactly; it was nice not to have further damage done to the sofa, but it would also have been nice for him to sit next to me once and a while...oh well. Giving it four stars for the fit and design; would have been five except for the constant tugging back into place.
