I bought Gale Collection slipcovers for our couch and one of our chairs in the living room. Despite putting sticky paws on both pieces of furniture and having multiple sturdy scratching posts, our new kitten loves to get our attention by scratching things she shouldn't. I wanted something that would protect our furniture other than throwing blankets on everything. These slipcovers exceeded my expectations--especially for the price. They fit great and are very soft and don't scream "SLIPCOVER." The soft velvet has no texture, so our kitten is not very interested in using the furniture as a scratch post. I have a third chair she has, so far, ignored. If she turns her attention to it, I will be buying another one.
