The slipcover looks quilted and substantial. I had the impression that it was heavy enough to stay in place once I put it on my recliner. Instead it was thin and flimsy and even using that joke of a strap and tucking it in deeply, it slides out if place once you sit on it and the side pockets end up everywhere but the side so if you try to use them, your stuff ends up in the floor. I was extremely disappointed with it and only used it twice. I was trying to protect my new recliner from the claws.of my three cats but a sheet does the same job as that slip cover with a lot less aggravation.
