The material for this couch cover is nice and thick, and feels clean and fresh. It is a big improvement over th ripped material on my couch. My only complaint is that it looks loose and saggy within minutes of sitting on it. I try to straighten it out, but it inevitably goes back to looking loose. It is not a tight, form fitting cover, so this is to be expected. It was worth the money, since we aren't ready to buy a new couch yet.
