A friend had loose covers made for her, not the cheap and nasty ones, they were a bit pricey but cheaper than a total reupholstering job. It may also be worth having saggy cushions replaced. In the end it may be worth replacing it. Do you know what a similar quality suite would cost today, £2,500 9 years ago wasn't cheap?
jennyjoan, I love my recliner but as I mentioned earlier it is sinking on the right side. Because it is all integrated there is no cushion to lift and turn or stuff anything underneath as my OH does with the sofa. Think I've talked myself into a visit to MultiYork.
