Water-resistant, not waterproof. Light beads on the surface, so wipe them away quickly. Coffee drips, pet drool, and juice splashes can all be managed. Large volumes of liquid or anything left sitting will eventually soak through. For heavy-duty liquid protection, layer a waterproof liner underneath. For our highest water resistance, see the Magic Sofa Mat.

Measure your cushion — not your sofa. Note the width, depth, and height of the individual cushion and match to our size guide. Magic covers run slightly snug, so if you're between sizes or right at the upper limit, size up. Not sure? Email us your cushion measurements and we'll tell you exactly which size to grab.

On fabric sofas with removable cushions, they stay put well — even with dogs jumping on and off. On leather or smooth surfaces, back cushion covers may shift more. Tips: Check the size (too big means more shifting). Tuck the edges in tightly. For leather sofas, use upholstery pins to keep everything in place.

This is the second most common fear and the second most common surprise. Our most frequent compliment: "It almost looks like I don't even have covers on." The jacquard weave looks purposeful. It has the right texture and weight, so it doesn’t seem like you’re trying to hide anything. For a premium look, our Miracle covers in chenille and suede look like professional reupholstery.

Magic is our original — lighter-weight stretch fabric, widest color range, best value. Miracle Plush is our premium line — thicker, softer, original-like appearance. Both wrap individual cushions with elastic and are machine washable. The difference is fabric weight, texture, and finish. Not sure? Order a free swatch of each.

Magic covers fit individual seat and back cushions only. They don't cover arms, sides, or the sofa frame. For arm protection, our Magic Sofa Mat can drape over arm areas. For full sofa coverage in one piece, our Magic Sofa Blanket is the better option. Many customers combine: covers on cushions, mat or blanket for arms.

They hold up well to everyday pet life — hair, dirt, muddy paws, light scratching. The Classic fabric is one of our more resilient options against pet nails. That said, they aren’t puncture-proof. Dogs that dig or scratch a lot can cause snags over time.
