Slips are the couch covers which are permanently attached to the couch. Slipcovers fit accurately to the couch in such a way that there is no difference between the original couch and the slip cover.
Another type of slipcover is one which is made of a highly elastic fabric. It fits tightly to the couch, even if it is not stitched to the couch.
- Throws:
Throws are couch covers which are not attached or stitched to the couch. On the contrary, they are just thrown over the couches and just tucked in.

These throws are cheaper as compared to slip covers. Pet throw covers are available so that the couch remains protected from the pets. Throw covers include blankets, satin or muslin sheets, sofa quilts, and throw rugs specially made cover couches.
These couch covers are an easy to go for option. Without wasting money on new couches, the old couch can be renovated beautifully.
