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. (Similar couches available at IKEA now linked HERE.) 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.

  • Linen Blend- Linara Peach Skin Porridge
  • Designer’s Guild 100% Linen- Natural
