Very soft cover and adds a nice touch by brightening the room. We use it as a cover over a teal couch because it was a little too big for the armchair we had (though I'm sure it can be used for one as well). As a bonus, my cat seems to be unable to scratch it because the fabric is too slippery for cat claws but still comfortable enough for both human and cat to nap on. Haven't washed it yet so can't say how fabric holds up after wash.
