Its extremely solft and a huge improvement over other covers I used. True, theres a bit of excess material, particularly on the sides, but then again, every measurement does have a range of dimensions. It was quite easy to install - the band that goes underneath the sofa is actually quite handy. Other than that, the foam tubes are really useful, because you neednt worry that the whole installment will just come loose the second someone sits down. Im overall satisfied and will purchase 2 more in the future.
