Does anyone know where I can purchase a slipcover for a dual reclining loveseat with a center console? I have looked everywhere and can't find anything remotely close. Sewing one is "not" an option, as I have no talent for that at all.
If all else fails, has anyone tried covering a loveseat like mine with a normal loveseat cover? Does/would it look stupid with the console poking up through the fabric?
Any input would be so appreciated. Our dogs tore up the side of our loveseat and we can't afford to have it reupholstered right now, but we are so tired of looking at their handy work!

You can tack a matching or complimentary piece of heavy duty fabric or upholstery fabric to the damaged side, look for something in the remnants bin at the fabric store or on the remnants pages at JoAnn, Hancocks, or a similar fabric site to save money.
Measure the area you need to hide and add 1/2" to a full 1" all around-this is the size fabric 'patch' that you'll need. After you find it and bring it home, fold over the raw edges that 1/2"-1" extra, then use a tack gun or hammer in upholstery tacks to hold the fabric onto the frame. Don't be afraid to use a lot of tacks to get a taut application.
Depending on the dogs and quality of fabric, this should last you several years.
There are upholstery shops that can redo the entire sofa, or you can search the classifieds and bulletin boards for a seamstress who can make custom machine washable slip covers-consider having at least two sets made so that you have a set to put on whilst the other is in the laundry.
And do consider learning to sew and make your own slipcovers-they actually aren't that hard to do if you take your time and measure carefully, and you can save hundreds on the cost. Here's a good teaching site to have a look at:

A cheap slipcover for lazyboy recliner is... those tee-shirt material sheets. A single fitted sheet size will fit one lazy boy recliner/rocker. Since you have the divider in the middle, you might get two, one for each side instead of a full size sheet. The single fitted sheet fits the chair and you could use the flat sheet to cover the ends the dogs have customzed for you.
I have the same problem and after hours of searching I have decided to use two reclining chair slipcover and tuck the unused arm between seat and console. For console I will cover/ sacrifice the cupholder and cover everything with same slipcover made for long dining room chair. Once I do this I will update if it worked or not.
You could try getting a sofa cover that will fit the length/width of your loveseat and then cutting a slit or two (just enough) for the console to fit through.
I bought two high back recliner pet covers and tucked the extra arms down between the two bottom cushions. The ones I bought were rubber back so they don't slip on my leather loveseat.
I took a large fitted sheet put it over and then cut slits to get into the cup holders and the middle console area but the material moves whenever we sit so the slits that I cut look really bad and don't stay in place.
Did that work and did the rubber do any damage to your leather loveseat ?

They sell them on Amazon. Not a big selection but the prices are comparable.

My cat has lovingly redecorated much of my sofa and now I want to cover it up. The issue I am having is locating a slip cover for a 3-piece sectional sofa with a recliner on each end.
Do any of you have any ideas?Contact furniture stores and also look online at places such as jcpenney, target, fingerhut, montgomery ward....

I have a microfiber dual reclining loveseat and I am looking for a slipcover. Can any one help? Surefit did not offer anything. Everyone one else has single reclining chairs.

I am trying the same thing. The full couch cover that was suggested here would never work for me because I want to recline and mine rock too. So I think Im going to do this. Im going to take two of these stretch recliner covers. They come in four pieces. Two arms one top and one for the pull out part. I plan to just use one arm for each recliner part.
I don't really have a problem with the middle enter. Mine aren't damaged in fact they are new but I really want to protect it. Hope this idea helps you.
tried this site, they had zero sites for slip covers.
Don't waste your time at voila! They had nothing and was a waste of time
I have been to this site often to check because of emails like yours and the site seems to out of business. I cannot get any search results, all stock shows zero.
I'm going to try this (just purchased one on target.com), on one side only. We don't have pets but from use it's wearing down on the right arm and on the seat and already on the backrest.. the other side is like new but I use a table to the right of where I currently sit and don't want to move it.
They now sell them on amazon. Not many colors but they should work
I can't find a sofa cover for a dual reclining sofa without a center console. The hardest part is the footrests, the bottom needs to be split for practical use.

I don't know how old you are, but, you might consider trying to learn to sew and make your own. The learning process will give you good skills in your future life. If you don't have a sewing machine, there are lots of ways you could consider. Borrowing one, buying a used one, ads, freecycle, craigs list, ask about one to friends.

They have a few reclining slipcovers for 3-seater sofas and 2-seater loveseats. They only have very few from what I can see, but it might be worth checking it.
By the way, I don't think the person (chm) suggesting to learn sewing to make one was rude nor belittling. To me it seems that he/she offered a suggestion where there were none. Maybe a bit off-topic, but certainly not deserving to be yelled at.
I doubt I'd make my own slipcover because you'd need a lot of fabric and that might end up being very expensive, but it was a need for something I couldn't find that made me learn to sew...
Come-on guys, let's try to be nice to each other. Life is short. May as well smile... :)
I have an old and very comfortable dual recliner. I'm having an awful time finding a slip cover for it. Can anyone help me?

Try SureFit Slipcovers. You can check them online or order a catalog. Hope this helps. : )
Call SureFit. They have just what you need. Good luck
No, SureFit (spoke to someone on the phone) says that they don't have covers like this.
I have tried the Sure-Fit slipcovers on my loveseat recliners with console in the middle as our leather has been peeling since day one. They are fine over the back but the middle is too much material. I have nothing yet to cover unless having it completely covered.
I have a dual reclining full sized reclining sofa. I am looking for slipcovers. I see no one who sells such a product, any ideas?
By Jack F. from Sevierville, TN
Make your own? The satisfaction of knowing you made the slip covers yourself is incredible! You can also save a huge amount of money. Sewing your own slipcovers is not complicated or difficult-if you can read and follow directions, and can sew a straight line on a sewing machine (also an easy skill to learn:), the creative possibilities are almost endless.
Can you tell me where to find a pattern for a full size reclining sofa? And if I can sew it, why wouldn't companies that sell them provide them? Any ideas? Thanks.
I desperately need to find covers for sofa recliners. Any thoughts?

Yes! Go to surefit.com, they have all the items you will need. They have wonderful styles & colors.
La-z-boy.com suggests surefit.com
That's where I'll be getting mine for my La-z-boy reclining sofa. What you want is a one piece slipcover. We bought the Jenna for our informal living room.
