Removable and washable sofa covers - how does that work?

Abnehmbare und waschbare Sofabezüge - wie funktioniert das? - Livom

Removable and washable sofa covers

Many people are familiar with the problem: sofa covers look grubby, but removing the stains by hand is often too tedious and time-consuming.

With our removable and washable sofa covers from Livom, that's now a thing of the past.

Whether your children have secretly wiped their chocolate-covered fingers on the back of the chair, your cat prefers to sleep on the sofa, or your partner has severe allergies.

The Livom sofa - perfect for children's and teenagers' rooms

Livom sofas are perfect for a child's room. We offer various colors and modules that can be integrated into the room according to your wishes. Many of our sofas have a sleeper function, so even spontaneous overnight guests can sleep comfortably.

The sofa cushions can be easily removed, so perhaps the sofa will soon become a knight's castle, a robber's den, or a trampoline? There are no limits to your child's creativity. And if something spills, the covers can be completely removed and washed thanks to a simple Velcro system. Even young children can help with this, which encourages independence.
The next adventure won't be long in coming.

Washable sofa covers



Our sofas also make a great impression in a teenager's room. Their simple design enhances the space without taking up too much room. And here too, sleepovers are welcome. With just a few simple steps, the sofa transforms into a comfortable bed.


Has your child's favorite color changed? Then simply buy matching covers in their new favorite color. You don't need to unnecessarily burden the environment (and your wallet) and you save yourself the hassle of buying a completely new sofa.

The wood we use for our sofas is FSC certified and sustainably sourced.

Our fabrics are OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, which means that there are no carcinogenic dyes in our textiles.

Washable covers - perfect for allergy sufferers

People with allergies don't have it easy. Constant sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes can spoil a pleasant get-together with friends. What's more, it's exhausting and quickly leads to fatigue and exhaustion.

Our washable sofa covers can help prevent this. Dust mites and pollen are washed out of the covers in no time, and you can start your evening right away.

Are you looking for an allergy-friendly sofa bed? Restful sleep is extremely important. If we don't get enough sleep, it affects our entire body. Heart rate and blood pressure rise, and our mood drops. Furthermore, our long-term memory deteriorates and our attention span decreases. We complete tasks less reliably and accurately.

For a restful sleep for allergy sufferers, we recommend washing the covers once or twice a week. This way, allergies won't get in your way anymore.

Ideal for animal lovers

Has your cat sharpened its claws on the sofa arm again instead of the scratching post? Does your dog jump in puddles and then on your favorite sofa cushion? Does your budgie prefer to eat seeds from your hand while you read a book?



Animals make a mess, that's no secret. But conventional sofas aren't so easy to clean. People often spend hours trying to remove stains with home remedies and harsh chemicals from the drugstore, frequently without success. Many pet owners then buy cheaper sofas and, as soon as their pet has really worn itself out on them, a new one. This is bad for the wallet and for the carbon footprint. The average German produces 200 kg of CO₂ per year just from buying textiles. Wouldn't it be great if we could reduce that number?

Has your cat mistaken your sofa cushion for a mouse and bitten holes in it? Then order the exact cover you need and help reduce CO₂ emissions without sacrificing a stylish home.

Interest in replaceable and washable sofa covers is increasing.

More and more people are interested in sustainability. They are environmentally conscious and fed up with the throwaway society. Until recently, disposable lint rollers were used to remove pet hair from sofas. The environmental impact of these rollers is poor. The plastic is rarely made from recycled materials, the adhesive is not vegan and is full of harmful substances.


Our sofa covers can be removed in no time and washed in any standard washing machine. You can use any detergent you like. This way, you know exactly what's on the fabric. There's no doubt about whether the fabric contains any harmful substances.

What references exist and how do they differ?

We offer you three different types of fabric: Vellare, Mollia and cotton.

The Vellare fabric offers the advantage of being extremely durable. It is tightly woven, so human and pet hair stays on the surface and doesn't penetrate the fabric. An added safety benefit: the fabric is flame-retardant, providing extra safety for you, your family, and your friends.

Our Mollia fabrics are soft and have a velvety feel. Because the fabric is woven in a linear pattern, many stains can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth or paper towel. This fabric also effectively combats unwanted pet hair. The tight weave makes it difficult for hair to penetrate the fabric, keeping it on the surface. Even claws and teeth are no match for Mollia fabric.

We also offer sofa covers made of cotton. You already know how cotton feels against your skin. The fashion industry has been enthusiastic about this durable fabric for centuries. Cotton is easy to clean, absorbs the scents of your favorite detergent for a long time, and is also flame-resistant. This fabric is also suitable for homes with pets.

Tips for caring for removable sofa covers

Our sofa covers are very durable; you can't really go wrong with them. However, to ensure you get the most out of our products for as long as possible, here are a few tips for you:

The right washing machine program

If the cover is only lightly soiled, you can safely wash it at 20-30 degrees Celsius. Light stains like yogurt or dust are easily removed at 20 degrees, and the material won't be overstressed. If the fabric is heavily soiled, you can wash it at 30 degrees. This kills almost all bacteria, ensuring extra cleanliness in your home.

If the fabric only smells unpleasant, for example of cigarette smoke, it can be washed at temperatures as low as 20 degrees Celsius. This program is also recommended to avoid unnecessary environmental impact.

How often should I wash the covers?

That's entirely up to you. For allergy sufferers, it's recommended to wash the covers once a week. If there are people with sensitive immune systems in your household, you can also wash the covers more often to avoid any unnecessary risks.
