Fixed vs Loose Covers Tastefully tailored or beautifully versatile, which vibe speaks to you? All our Sofas and Snugglers come with the choice between a Fixed or Loose Cover, both equally stunning but with differing characteristics. The majority of our Chairs are also available with a Loose Cover option, so you can tie your ideal Suite together with a cohesive look of matching Cover types if that’s your style, alternatively feel free to mix and match your units and have both Loose and Fixed pieces in your space. Keep reading to discover the benefits of each Cover option. Fixed Covers Elegant, polished, refined. Our Fixed Cover Sofas always look smart with their tailored seams and tight fit. When you choose a Fixed Cover, you benefit from a bonus personalisation option with Show Wood feet. All feet are crafted from solid wood and are available with the choice between two colour finish options: English Oak or Vintage Oak. The addition of these beautiful wooden feet elevates your Sofa to another standard of refinement, complementing the tailored stitching perfectly. Love the tailored look but live in a household full of mucky paws and sticky faces? Get the best of both worlds and opt for one of our Easy Clean Fabrics to clear up majority of household spillages and marks on the spot, just use water! Contrast Piping looks particularly bold and suave on Fixed Cover Sofas, highlighting the precise tailoring and shape of the piece. What’s more, with a Fixed Cover, you unlock access to our range of Hides and Accent Fabrics, only available on Fixed Covers, Scatters and Footstools. We love a bonus! Loose Covers Ever spilled something on your Sofa and wished you could stick the whole lot in the washing machine? With our Loose Cover Sofas, you can fully remove the Covers from the entire piece and pop them in your washing machine at 30 degrees. You can even order an Additional Cover for your Sofa or Chair, so you are never without your favourite chill spot. You could also order a couple Additional Covers in various Fabrics and colours to freshen up your living room whenever the mood takes you. Whilst our Fixed Covers offer a polished look, our Loose Covers lend themselves to a more relaxed and bohemian vibe, the flowing Fabric perfectly kisses the floor and softens the shape of your Sofa, making it arguably more inviting. Sink into the embrace of a Collins & Hayes Sofa, Snuggler or Chair with your favourite beverage and sweet treat without any concern for spillages. All our Loose Cover Sofas are provided with glides in place of wooden legs for a seamless feel. And whilst Accent Fabrics and Hide aren’t available on Loose Covers, you can opt for one of these on your Scatters, to bring in either visual or physical texture to your Suite.
