I bought a brand new sofa 3 months ago from a good furniture store, and the cloth is covered in lint, and the feather filling keeps poking out! I am going to call and complain, but not holding my breath. Meanwhile, I was wondering if you know of a company that does sofa covers so I can have it covered in fabric (hopefully that is machine washable). I also want to cover my dining chairs, which are also looking tatty after only 2 years. Both items were purchased from good furniture stores!

I can highly recommend Everest Furniture Factory, Azores (tel: +971 4 349 3323) and Feshwari Star.
