I have a dark red leather sofa and wanted to change the colour off the room but withe the sofa being fairly new didn't want to buy a new sofa, I bought the cream cover and I was hopeful that the red wouldn't show through, and to my delight it doesn't it fits perfect and feels comfortable I've taken it off whilst I decorate but can't wait to have it on full time , I would have liked an extra clip for security underneath but otherwise an amazing product
