Are sofa covers worth it?

Sofa covers might seem like a simple add-on, but they deliver serious bang for your buck — especially in Australian homes where pets, kids, and entertaining are part of everyday life.

1. Cost-Effective Furniture Protection

Replacing a sofa can cost $800 to $5,000+. A sofa cover from Sofa Decor starts from under $100 — a small price to keep your furniture looking brand new.

Smart Spending Tip:
A $100 cover that protects a $2,000 sofa for years? That’s a 20x return on investment.


2. Instant Room Refresh (Without Renovating)

Want to switch up your style without redoing your lounge? A cover is like giving your sofa a brand-new skin — perfect for renters or seasonal styling.

Sustainability is in. Covering your existing sofa extends its life and reduces waste — a small step towards a greener home.
