Pottery Barn fabric/slipcovered sofas

Hey everyone, I am wondering if anyone can chime in on PB slipcovered sofas and their experiences especially with slip covered sofas.
I ordered one recently and probably will take 3-4 months to get. I went with denim warm white, because the performance twill I tested was water resistant but did not clean well with lipstick and such. I didn't like the other fabrics, though I liked the crypton everyday linen it was not machine washable. Please chime in. Yes it had to be white.

I had one for quite a few years. I had one slipcover in performance twill, and the other was velvet. I had them dry-cleaned yearly. They still shrunk up a little, and were a PITA to put back on, but overall held up pretty well.

what color was your performance twill and how did it do with cleaning?

Have you ever looked at Sure Fit?
Been using theirs for years.

My PB furniture has Everydaysuede slipcovers in Stone, which was the closest I could get to white in that fabric. I put them in the washer/dryer when needed. They come out very nice.

My experience was very similar. I had a slipcover in a pale yellow brushed twill for spring/summer and a mushroom color velvet one for fall/winter. They were definitely a PITA to put back on but I enjoyed the sofa for over 14 years.

I think it was stone - it was a sort of medium greige or taupe. It cleaned up well; the only issue was the slight shrinkage. This was years ago; and the composition and performance may have changed since then.

Twins! I had the Charleston sofa and I was able to get that yellow slipcover on sale; it was gorgeous, but as it turned out I rarely used it. It just didn't go with my other colors. I used the stone in summer, and had the moss green velvet for winter.
