I have just orered two sofas - one is a large L shaped one - and both will need something over them if they are to survive the onslaught of my two and three year old!! Can you help? Do you know anywhere I can get some tasteful but effective coverings? And what, if anything do you put on your sofa to protect them?

I'm not a Mrs Bouquet/Bucket type so I'm not searching for clear plastic!

Any leads gratefully received.

M&S do some and they're quite nice.

Saw some at the weekend in plum, burgundy, brown and beige shades in a sort of chenille fabric.

Are they big enough to cover a sofa do you think or more of a 'snuggle' size throw?

they do lots on ebay, all different materials and colours.

one piece of advice tho, beware of chnille ones, I bought 2 for my sofas, in a beautiful moss green, within a week they'd gone all fluffy and had pulls in them.Everything got covered in green fluff .

I've now resorted back to my cotton ones(best in my opinion) and just use the chenille ones as a blanket for chilly evenings to snuggle on the sofa whilst watching the telly.
