I know what you mean. On my husband's recliner, I use a bath towel the same color as the chair on the back. It helps with the sweat in the summer. Two hand towels on the arms completes the set.

Great idea! I wish I had put something on the arms of our recliners when we got them.....now they are an eyesore and hard to clean. Will have to make something for the headrests and arms when we get our new furniture.

DH's recliner has a removable head and arm rests that are easy to take off and wash. I bought an extra set when we bought the chair too. They look like they aren't removable so don't distract from the look of the chair or fall off or get all crumpled up.

I have an old, very, very comfy Lazy Boy recliner that I love. I sat in every chair in my town and in two other towns before I found "MY" chair. But my hair dresser said the reason the back of my hair is getting so dry was because of it..she had asked about a couch or chair because the rest of my hair was healthy with enough oil. So I'm making a fitted covering for the top third of the back of the chair.
I'm thinking the front should be some sort of Polyester or nylon because it doesn't absorb oils as well as the usual upholstery fabrics do. Haven't decided on the pattern yet, or bought the fabric for the top layer. The front room itself will have to decide what the pattern is going to be.

Some of the table runners make cute patterns. They hang over both sides far enough, that they stay on a little better.
Backing them with flannel helps to keep them in place too :D:D:D

Tell the hubby to take a shower... ; ) Scotchguard works really well on furniture. I spray every few months. Wipe off any spots with a damp sponge. Works great and the couch and chair still look new.
