Don’t get discouraged looking for a custom slipcover, today I’m sharing all about just the company who can solve your woes!

One of the most common I get from readers is

“Where can I purchase custom slipcovers from?”

I can make my own and have shown how in How to Slipcover a Recliner.

But, I know that a large group of my readers cannot sew or have no desire to sew.  Needless to say, I have looked high and low for a solution to this common problem.

And I am delighted to report that I have found an answer!!

So, to my reader who has hit a brick wall when it comes to obtaining a slipcover. . .

This post is for you! 

We recently purchased the above couch, called the Farlov, from IKEA.  My only complaint with this couch was the slipcover. The Ikea fabric had almost a fish net feel to it.

It needed something softer and more European, but I just didn’t have the time or energy to make a slipcover for it.

I started researching my options.  That was when I stumbled upon a unique company called Bemz.

Have you heard of it?

~A heartfelt thank you to Bemz for sponsoring this post.~

Bemz launched in 2005 by making covers to fit the most popular models of IKEA sofas, armchairs and chairs – even the discontinued ones – with the idea of extending the life of a product in a customised way.

As, I dug deeper ino this company, I was more and more fascinated! Here are some of their most impressive features. . .

Ok, so let’s talk about what it takes to get your own custom slipcover from Bemz.
