Gone are the days of having fabric on your sofa that you cannot wash without professional help. These sofas designed for a slip cover are a favorite trend.
The hottest trends in upholstered furniture are slipcovered sofas. The most amazing sofas with a tightly fitted sofa cover.
You cannot even tell they are sofa slip covers, which is perfect if you are looking for new furniture. I am sharing first hand experience with a slipcovered couch. Our slipcovered couch is from Ikea and we love it!
In our house we have spilled drinks, paint while working on an art project, and food. It was so easy to clean. I have more about how to wash Ikea slipcovered sofa here. The removable cushion covers make cleaning a breeze. Just unzip them, toss them in the wash, and they come out looking great.
Because slipcovered sofas are a favorite here, I will continually update this post to keep you in the know. The current update is May 29, 2025.
Here are my best slipcovered sofas that are affordable.
The best slipcovered sofas range from affordable prices to high-end. You can find them in high quality fabrics or durable cheaper options. You can find seat cushions with deep seats or smaller scale pieces. They come in regular sofas, love seat, and chairs. But today we are looking specifically at affordable couches with removable slipcovers.
What are Slipcovered Sofas
Let me explain exactly what are slipcovered sofas compared to what we used to do with slipcovers.
In today's market, you can purchase a new sofa frame and then select a tailored slipcover that is specifically designed. Usually, there are three or more different color options and different styles.
Typically you select the frame and then the sofa slipcover color and all you do is slip the cover on the sofa when you get it home. The cover fits like a glove until you cannot even tell it has a removable and washable slipcover.
In the old days, you would go to the store and purchase a slipcover that was one size fits all. After placing it on the couch it didn't fit like a glove and you would have to tuck it and pull it daily to fit neatly again.

Affordable Slipcovered Sofas
Now let's talk about what I mean by affordable slipcovered sofas. Today there are loads of slipcover sofas on the market but many are over one thousand dollars. In this post, I searched and did research on the best quality slipcovered sofas under a thousand.
When I originally wrote this post finding a slipcovered sofa under a thousand was possible today it is more challenging so I have gather beautiful options on the lower end including an Ikea slipcover sofa.
We have two slipcovered sofas the Ikea and Pottery Barn. Love them both!
Here are my top picks and notes about which ones I have experience with and others I found good reviews.
AFFORDABLE SLIPCOVERED SOFAS
Sofa frames with tailored slipcovers.
I own the Ektorp sofa and it is a great inexpensive sofa. However, Ikea no longer carries it but instead has the Uppland which is very similar. After doing some research the Uppland is a little larger and the cushions are firmer. The fabric is durable and washable and the frame is very good for the price.
An affordable option that doesn't skimp on style. Its compact size is perfect for smaller spaces, and the slipcover adds a layer of practicality. The reviews on this sofa are good and you cannot beat the price.
This sofa brings a touch of traditional elegance with its rolled arms and tailored slipcover. It's a great fit for classic or farmhouse interiors.
Popular sofa on Home Depot with no reviews so far. There is only one color - white to choose from and it is well under $1000.00.
I choose to share this slipcovered sofa because of the beautiful design. Hopefully by the time you see this it will have reviews.
Why Buy A Slipcovered Sofa
If you have kids, pets, or a busy life, a slipcovered sofa is a total game-changer. Accidents happen — spills, stains, sticky hands — and with a slipcover, you don't have to stress. Just take off the washable cover and throw it in your washing machine.
It's that easy!
I even have a white slipcovered sofa, and it still looks great thanks to how simple it is to clean. Whether it's a regular couch or a sectional sofa, having something machine washable and stain-resistant makes life so much easier for the whole family.
Slipcovered sofas come in all kinds of styles and fabrics—even soft velvet or performance fabric that holds up really well to everyday wear. Choosing the right fabric makes a big difference, especially when you want something durable but still pretty.
Most have easy care instructions, and you can mix things up with different throw pillows or even swap the slipcover if you want a new look.
Plus, they’re super comfy, especially the ones with lots of depth you can sink into. If you’re tired of stressing over your upholstery, a slipcovered sofa is seriously worth it!
Conclusion
I found it a little challenging to find affordable slipcovered sofas under one thousand dollars. However, in the process of looking for a perfect sofa at an affordable price, I found a good slipcovered sofa option over a thousand.
The PB Comfort Rolled Arm by Pottery Barn This is over $1,000, but on sale you might find it around $1,500 depending on the fabric. I have a Pottery Barn slipcovered sofa and highly recommend it—great quality with lots of fabric and cushion options.
LL Bean had several great choices but they no longer carry a slipcovered sofa according to their website. I had the opportunity to try this out and found them all comfortable. My favorite is the Sunbreall slipcovered sofa model.
This classic style sofa reminds me of the Ikea Ektorp sofa, which is my current sofa, but much more comfortable.
One of my favorite slipcover sofas over a thousand is a Pottery Barn sofa. I have a comparison of it and the Ikea sofa in the Best Slipcover Sofas from Pottery Barn to Ikea.
This post is a first-hand experience of the two pieces. You can decide if you want to pay a little more for the Pottery Barn.
These affordable slipcover sofas are great! They're perfect for any living space (living room or den), moving to college, young couples, families, homes with pets, or just about any age.
What makes them perfect is the ability to wash the covers which makes them last for a long time. And you can buy replacement covers in different fabrics from white slipcovers to bright colors.
It is fun that you can buy one sofa and when you get tired of the color you can purchase replacement slipcovers? That is probably my favorite part. Talk about a great value!
Washing the covers is very easy but there are a few tips and tricks. We have details on how to wash Ikea slipcovers.
Happy Decorating!
I couldn’t help noticing the little “Geechie” detail. The glass insulator is a nice touch!
LOL! Thank you!! 🙂
I have the Ektorp sofa and chairs and love them. I am short (5’) and the sofa seat is a little deep for me but I just put a couple of pillows behind me and it is perfect. Love that I can wash the slipcovers when the dogs get it a little dirty and looks brand new afterwards. Also love that I can purchase different color slipcovers and have a whole new look.
Thank you for sharing! I love how fresh and clean our sofa is too after washing the covers.
