86 in Olive Green Corduroy L Shaped Sectional with Machine Washable Covers on Every Cushion

Plenty of sofas claim washable covers and mean the seat cushions. The back, the arms and the scatter cushions are stitched in, which is inconvenient, since the back of a sofa is where heads rest and the scatter cushions are what a drink gets knocked onto.

Here the seat, the back cushions, the chaise and all five pillows have zipped covers, and the maker states they are machine washable. There is no frame anywhere in the sofa, so every part of the upholstery is a cover over a sponge block and every one of them comes off.

Five loose pieces on top of a base

The studio shot. Three back cushions and two square pillows sit loose on the seat, and the arm is a separate upholstered block rather than part of a frame. Every one of those is a cover over sponge, which is why all of them can be stripped.

Measured, with a warning underneath

Eighty-six inches along the back, 69.5 deep, 23 high at the arm, with an 84.5 by 39.5 inch seat and a 58.5 by 29.5 chaise at 15.5 inches. The note at the bottom is the one people miss: the cushions are vacuum packed, and the maker asks for up to 72 hours for full expansion.

Off the sofa and into the machine

The maker photographs a cover being carried to a washing machine rather than just claiming it in text. The second frame shows the underside, covered in rubberised grip dots, which is what keeps a legless sofa from wandering across a hard floor.

Olive, up close

A wide wale corduroy in a soft olive. The pile means the colour shifts between the ribs and the valleys, so it reads greener in direct light and greyer in shade, which is worth checking against the room before ordering.

On the seat, the back cushions, the chaise and all five pillows, described as machine washable.

Across an 84.5 inch seat surface, deep enough to lie across rather than only along.

No frame and no legs. Unwrap, lay out and allow up to 72 hours for full expansion.

Printed on the dimension panel with seating stated for up to four people. A static rating.

Rubberised grip on the underside, since there are no legs holding the sofa in place.

Included in matching olive corduroy, the two square ones measured at 15 inches.

Ships from a Canadian warehouse. Free shipping on orders over $150. Some remote areas, PO boxes and surcharge regions may be excluded or cost extra.

Covered directly by the manufacturer under their warranty terms for material and manufacturing defects.

The question is never whether something gets spilled on a sofa, only whether the cover comes off afterwards. Here all of them do.

Olive corduroy sits comfortably against oak, rattan and off white walls without the sofa becoming the only thing anybody sees.

A 39.5 inch seat and a 15.5 inch height is a low, deep format. It is built for evenings, not for a quick sit down with a cup of tea.

What we stand behind

• Every dimension and the 660 lb rating are read from the manufacturer's own dimension panel.
• The 72 hour expansion time is the maker's own figure. The vacuum packed cushions arrive flat and recover slowly.
• No fibre composition, foam density, wash temperature, carton dimensions or net weight is published, so none is quoted.
• Nothing in the record says the chaise section can be moved to the other end, so no reversible chaise is claimed.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150.
• 14 day returns, unused and in the original packaging.

What temperature should the covers be washed at?

No wash temperature or care code is published, so none is given here. Corduroy is a pile fabric and pile fabrics shrink more readily than flat weaves, so wash cool and dry flat rather than hot. A cover that has shrunk will not go back over a sponge block.

Do the arms come off as well?

The arm is an upholstered block rather than part of a frame, and there is no frame anywhere in the sofa. The maker states that the covers are machine washable without listing each piece, so check the zips on the item before assuming every one of them is intended to come off.

Why is it flat when it arrives?

The cushions are vacuum packed to cut the shipping volume. They come out compressed and take up to 72 hours to expand fully. Lay them out where the sofa will live and leave them alone rather than using heat to speed it up.

Is olive green hard to match?

Less than most strong colours, because it behaves like a neutral against wood, cream and stone. It does shift with the light, reading greener in daylight and greyer under a warm bulb, which is worth allowing for.
