This cover is great for my couch.  I read other reviews that said it didn't stay in place.  I hesitated about buying it, but decided to go for it.  Boy, am I glad I did.  My couch must be smaller because it stays in place great for me.  I don't have any large animals though.  My dog is a small JR Terrier.  That may be the difference.  It washes up well and really saves on the furniture.  Easy to slip off and tuck away when company comes.  Great purchase for me.
