So I finally took the plunge and got one of these armless office chair slipcovers, and honestly, it’s been pretty great for my work-from-home setup. It’s made of this polyester-spandex blend (92% polyester, 8% spandex if you’re curious) that feels way nicer than I expected – kind of soft but still seems durable enough to last.
What I really like is how stretchy it is. I was worried it wouldn’t fit my chair properly, but it just sort of hugs everything and stays put. The elastic hem is a nice touch – means I’m not constantly having to readjust it every time I get up. That was a problem with my old chair cover for sure!
I should mention that if you have a dark-colored chair like mine (I’ve got this navy blue thing from IKEA), you’ll probably want to go with a darker slipcover. I learned this the hard way with a previous light-colored one where you could kind of see the chair color peeking through. Not the best look, to be fair.
Size-wise, it fits my medium-sized office chair perfectly. For reference, mine is about 22 inches wide at the back and has a seat width of around 24 inches. There’s a measurement guide in the photos which was super helpful – definitely check that before ordering! I’ve had too many “one size fits all” products that absolutely did not fit all.
The maintenance part is what sold me, though. I’m not exactly the neatest person (coffee spills happen more than I’d like to admit), and being able to just toss this in the washing machine is a game-changer. Cold water wash, low heat dry, and you’re good to go. No ironing needed which, let’s be honest, means I’ll actually use it.
I went with the gray pattern, but there were tons of options to choose from. It’s perked up my whole office corner! The chair was looking pretty sad before – you know how office chairs start to look worn at the edges after a while. This has completely transformed it, and it’s way cheaper than buying a new chair.
Protection-wise, it’s been great with my cat who thinks my office chair is her personal scratching post. Pet hair just kind of wipes off, and it’s holding up against her claws way better than the actual chair did. Plus, when my kids wandered in with sticky hands the other day, I didn’t have my usual mini heart attack – just wiped it clean!
For about twenty bucks, this has been one of my better Amazon purchases lately. Way more practical than that weird kitchen gadget I bought last month that I’ve used exactly once.
