I bought this couch slipcover because my dog likes to sit with me and I wanted to be able to protect the cushions.  Before I put the cover on, I washed and dried it.  It turned out BEAUTIFUL!   No pilling or wear and it looks as beautiful as when I took it out of the package.   The slipcover fit well on my couch. It has handy pouches on the arms for  holding tv remotes or phones.  This is a very nice product that Wayfair sells.
