| I am looking at a slipcovered sofa and swivel rocker by Four Seasons Furniture for our well used family room. They offer a variety of cotton fabrics, velvets and chenilles.
I would appreciate any information on the company - their quality, reputation and durability.
Also, do you recommend slipcovers and those fabrics for an active family room? I love the feel of cotton, but am somewhat concerned about 'natural' fabrics. Do slip covers stay in place, or do you have to constantly rearrange them?

| I would not recommend cotton for fabric on upholstered furniture. It just doesn't wear well. Now, they have cotton/polyester and other blends of fabrics that are much sturdier. I have a couch upholstered in cotton and it is faded and the one arm split open and you can see the stuffing and it's only 7 years old! And it wasn't inexpensive. I'm the only one who uses the couch on a regular basis, so it's not as though it got a lot of use. Now we are buying new furniture and I chose the fabric today and it is definitely a tougher wearing fabric, a nylon/polester combination. Good luck. |

| I have a slipcovered couch from Rowe in cotton fabric (it has faded over the years, but I don't mind the faded look. Other than that I think it's held up well and is nice & soft and comfy.) I'm getting ready to replace it though (just don't care for the lines of the couch anymore - the arms are too high)Do you mind sharing how much the Four Season slipcover couch is? None of my local retailers carry slipcovered couches anymore and I'm getting frustrated! Thanks so much :) |

| The sofa is just at $2K depending on fabric, cushion option etc. The swivel glider was about $1200. The dealer is a small independent furniture and accessories store who says they have carried this line for 4 years. I do not know if this is typical of their distribution nationally. They do have a spot on their web site to find a dealer. Love to know what you decide! |

| Someone I know bought the chair you are talking about. It is really comfortable, and fun. I have no idea about the quality of four Seasons though. I was hoping someone that does know would comment. |

| I just bought a Four Seasons slipcovered sofa and love it! The store I bought it from only sells better quality, and we are friends with the owner. He highly recommended the manufacturer. |

| I was impressed with what I saw...Hubbingtons Furniture just opened a new store in Hampton, NH and they have a two seat slipcover sofa from Four Seasons on sale for, I think it was, $699. That's in a whitish cotton-like material. For that price, you could afford to buy another slipcover and still come out ahead! They said it was cash and carry only...but they have to order it for you. Sounded like a good deal. Just trying to figure out where to put it! |

I have a pair of Four Seasons sofas. They are slipped in a white cotton/poly blend that has held up very well since we bought them one year ago. The fabric is from the Outdura line, which is similar to Sunbrella. With three children in my house, I won't ever consider having another sofa that isn't slipcovered. They wash up very well and if you put them back on while slightly damp, the shape looks good, although they might need a steamer touch-up. Now, the slips don't have that "tight", clean look that upholstery has, but it's worth it to me to be able to wash them. My only regret is choosing the style sofa that has four loose cushions on the back, because they never stay put. Looks messy sometimes.
I think I paid $1800 for each. |
