I had slipcover before and I did not like it because I had to keep tuck it in . This time when I purchase the slipcover I decide to try the tuck once grip (I think it is a little expensive) and I was surprise with the result. It works. It holds the slip cover in place. I have a 3 year old grandson and he jump up and down on the sofa and believe me it stay in place.(this is in the family room ) Now I think it was worth the money. Buy it you wont regret.
