One of the important aspects that you need to look for when shopping for them is the material that they are made up of. You can find cushion covers made up a wide range of materials.

Each fabric has got its own advantages. For instance if you are looking for the ultimate in luxury and looks, then you could go in for cushion covers made up of velvet or silk. These materials are renowned for their softness and rich, comfortable feel. Plush velvet or affluent silk cushion covers can add a touch of class to your living room.

These cozy cushion covers are a favorite with many people around the world, as apart from being comfortable they are also aesthetically pleasing.
Whatever may be the type of material, the design and print on the covers is what makes them special. Bold and bright prints will always look good on cushion covers made of cotton.

For both the kind of cushion covers that you have mentioned, the best way of maintaining and cleaning them is by dry cleaning them. Some wool and cotton chair cushion covers may lend themselves to cold water washing, but it is best to check with the seller as to how fast the color is. As a thumb rule, if the seller refuses to take a guarantee for color, prefer to use dry cleaning.
Even for cushion covers that the seller guarantees, it is always better to play it safe and get them dry cleaned the first time around. This way even the not-so-fast colors will get fast, and subsequent washing will not affect the colors.
Using a vacuum cleaner for regular cleaning is not a bad idea either, til such time the cushion covers become so dirty that it is essential for them to be dry cleaned/washed.
