This slipcover is exactly what I needed. The color is a perfect slate blue..very soft and just thick enough. I will be bringing it to our FL home, so I'm happy that the material won't collect body heat. This is a quality brand and I'm going to order another one in a different color, just for a change-up. This cover is also washable, which is a mandatory feature for me (between pets & kids.) You will be so happy with this slipcover purchase! Highly recommend.
