These cotton duck slipcovers are perfect - durable and easy to put on. I have 3 dogs, which means frequent washing. I use hot water and put it in the dryer. The color doesn't fade & there is no shrinkage. I bought the same item about 10 years ago and the only reason I had to replace it was because one of the dogs chewed a hole in it. Needless to say, this slipcover is very durable.You won't go wrong if you purchase one!
