A full cover, with the backrest window given in centimeters

Melaluxe full-chair stretch cover with elastic bands and zips

A full-chair stretch cover with elastic bands and zips, publishing its backrest and seat windows in centimeters as well as inches — and the tightest upper backrest limit in this hub.

Melaluxe black stretch cover fitted over a full office chair

Melaluxe full-chair stretch cover with elastic bands and zips

  • Covers the backrest and the seat rather than the seat alone
  • Publishes four dimensions with ranges, in centimeters and inches both — the only full cover here with metric sizes
  • A 70 to 78 cm (27.6 to 30.7 in) backrest window is the lowest ceiling among the full covers in this hub, where the others reach 31.4 and 31.5 in

Best for: A standard task chair whose backrest is under 78 cm (30.7 in) tall, where the whole chair needs covering rather than the seat.

This is one of four American listings in this hub that cover the backrest as well as the seat, which is the second thing the hub says it compares — whether coverage stops at the seat or carries on up the chair.

Melaluxe publishes its fit as four windows rather than a size label: back height 70 to 78 cm (27.6 to 30.7 in), back width 50 to 60 cm (19.7 to 23.6 in), seat length 45 to 55 cm (17.7 to 21.7 in), seat width 50 to 60 cm (19.7 to 23.6 in), with the inch equivalents alongside. It is the only full cover here to give its sizes in centimeters as well as inches — the DIVA EN CAMINO adds a backrest thickness — and it comes with the tightest ceiling: 78 cm, or 30.7 in, where the other full covers on this shelf state 31.4 and 31.5 in. On a high-back executive chair that inch is often the difference.

The construction is 92 per cent polyester and 8 per cent spandex with both elastic bands and zips, which is the combination that keeps a full cover from riding up a backrest. There are no armrest covers in the box — the velvet set in this hub includes a pair — and the listing opens, as several on this shelf do, by stating that the chair itself is not included.

What holds up, and what does not

Best for: A standard task chair whose backrest is under 78 cm (30.7 in) tall, where the whole chair needs covering rather than the seat.

Strengths

  • Covers the backrest and the seat rather than the seat alone
  • Publishes four dimensions with ranges, in centimeters and inches both — the only full cover here with metric sizes
  • Elastic bands and zips rather than elastic alone, which is what holds a full cover against a backrest
  • 92 per cent polyester with 8 per cent spandex, stated as percentages
  • Machine washable

Compromises

  • A 70 to 78 cm (27.6 to 30.7 in) backrest window is the lowest ceiling among the full covers in this hub, where the others reach 31.4 and 31.5 in
  • No armrest covers included, unlike the velvet set in this hub
  • No fabric weight or wash-cycle durability published

What buyers ask us first

Which measurements do I need before ordering?

Four, and Melaluxe publishes a range for each: back height 70 to 78 cm (27.6 to 30.7 in), back width 50 to 60 cm (19.7 to 23.6 in), seat length 45 to 55 cm (17.7 to 21.7 in), seat width 50 to 60 cm (19.7 to 23.6 in). This hub’s buying tip is to measure the backrest height and width first, because that is where a stretch cover runs out of travel — and 78 cm (30.7 in) is the lowest upper limit of the full covers on this shelf.

What do the zips do on a stretch cover?

They let the cover close round the back after it has been pulled over, rather than relying on the fabric’s tension alone. Melaluxe states "elastic bands and zippers that make the cover fit well" — on a backrest with a gap between the frame and the upholstery, a zip is what stops the cover riding up each time someone leans back.

  • Smiry jacquard stretch seat cover fitted over an office chair seat

    Best for: A seat whose cushion you have measured, where a patterned weave is preferred to plain stretch fabric.
