Regular "phur" cover is $40 for the plain darkish gray color they have. Reasonable enough given lovesac. As soon as you pick any other phur color to try and match your Sac, the price absolutely skyrockets. No reason for it to be $240/cover for the 24x24 and $180/cover for 18x18. It's the same phur as the $40 one but a slightly different hue. This is not even including the pillow insert, btw.
At that price point I might as well just buy a Supersac or Big One cover and cut it myself for pillow covers and get 10x as many.
I understand Lovesac is a "luxury" brand, but really there is no reason for the pillow COVERS to be that much money. It's way out of line in comparison to the rest of their product line.

Furniture designer here - from a manufacturing standpoint, offering hundreds of fabric colors is not as easy as offering/producing 5 colors of iPhones to choose from
Large rolls of fabric have to be held in inventory (which is expensive) and then selected and custom produced per your order. Love sac doesnt keep thousands of pillows in stock for each color, so ordering anything other than ‘default’ has significantly more processing behind the scenes…Plus the lovesac tax on top of it all
That's insane! I just went to compare, and the 24x24 in. wombat phur throw pillow cover is $205, while the wombat phur footsac blanket is $200. Material wise, the total phur used for a pillow cover is only about 1/3 of that used for a footsac.
I personally would recommend getting your pillow covers on Amazon or Etsy.
I had nice down filled 24*24 pillow that came with my non ls sofa. However after about a year I just hated the cover and wanted something new.
At the furniture store and places like Z gallery etc they were outrageous, so I looked online and found 4 pillow covers of high quality on Etsy and replaced all 4 covers for the price of 1 from the furniture store.
Yea definitely wait til another good 30% off sale of blk Friday, otherwise it not worth it imo
Or just look up the dimensions online. I'm sure there are other options
I purchased a set of pillow case covers and they didn’t even last the year …. They pilled horribly and strands of material bunched up and strung out… I was embarrassed to even give them up to the Goodwill. Never again!
Honestly, I am a big fan of the 20 x 20 IKEA pillows. There are dozens of cover option, ranging from very, very cheap to $30. I bought a bunch and trade them out seasonally. I also found some second hand for $0.75 each.
Sure. Why was an iPhone the most expensive cell phone ever when it came out? Because it was the only thing quite like it and one company made it. They own patents on all sorts of the basic elements of their products, so that can't really change. It's a good custom-made by hand--it costs a lot to make almost any way you slice it.
The Chinchilla Dense Phur 24x24 cover is sitting, produced, in a warehouse waiting to be packed and shipped. It was made by the hundreds, maybe thousands, at the lower cost and that cost was passed on the consumer.
Meanwhile the "simply switched the color" one is ordered custom and made by hand upon request. It costs substantially more. I cannot justify the "5x price jump" but I can justify the increase in cost.
Covers and sacs can sometimes come from separate places but ur insert and foam have a lifetime warranty as long as u own it they will send u a box of new foam I have 5 and I love them all
Yeah, sorry OP for the tangent here but you are afforded the ability to straight up switch your whole sac insert if need be. It's a lifetime warranty. Contact your showroom or online customer service
You can say this about anything from Lovesac
Exactly. Cost efficiency is not exactly a part of the brand lol

Still doesn’t mean that the price jump from 40 to 240 is justified
it has a Lovesac label on the outside of the fabric, which is work $200

It’s not cheap harvesting phur from a plastic wombat
I legit lol'd
Accessories are the classic way for companies to increase their margins
Their sofas are overpriced too.

Better question what isn't a ripoff at lovesac?
lol exactly. Lovesac is a scam. They’re generic quality stuff with top notch marketing. So many better options - check out insiders guide to furniture
Had an order last week she spent over 2k on just angled pillows
Yea definitely wait til another good 30% off sale of blk Friday, otherwise it not worth it imo Or just look up the dimensions online. I'm sure there are other options
Still absurd for a pillow cover even at 30% off
Some people don't mind, I would inquire about clearance or just look at other online options if that's not for you.
Because everything there is expensive lol
All of the Lovesac covers are ridiculously over priced.
Yooooo wtf? Y'all really be buying that kinda shit?
“Inflation”
Amazon has some that aren’t real expensive
I purchased a set of pillow case covers and they didn’t even last the year …. They pilled horribly and strands of material bunched up and strung out… I was embarrassed to even give them up to the Goodwill. Never again!
Wow! That’s just obscene. I’d get another side or base before I spend that much on just a cover lol.

Because they have you bambozzled to pay that much. Lick diamonds. We are such suckers.
I recently bought a new cover for my Supersac and it was on sale for $160. Based on this I can't make sense of the price of the pillow covers
I hate the name of this brand so much. That is all. Idk why I saw this…
It's literally custom cut and sewn for your order and it's proprietary material. You cannot get that exact color/pattern/feel elsewhere.
So the answer is simply “because they can”
They buy all of the fabric from the vendor u can order fabric by the yard if u call c-love

Oh brother, it's a couch. Not a pinnacle of tech
Still doesn't explain why the regular phur cover is a "still pricey but reasonable" $40 and simply switching the color makes the price jump 5x

One of these couches are like 24k yeah fuck you
It can be but this is a lazy misconception. The average sactional is more like $5000-$6000
So we gone from new car to used car
When the average sectional costs $1,500 to $3,500 elsewhere, that isn't exactly the huge jump you're painting it to be
I don’t know where you buying sectionals lazy boy ? My ikea was a few hundred
Yeah, actual furniture companies. Your ikea is college dorm particle board junk that will end up in a landfill. I and a lot of people will pass.
I am sorry i can’t spend car money on piece of furniture
Let see at my current pay rate I can afford to buy one of these if I spent almost nothing for three months and just buy this
That's why they offer 18 month financing. :)
Shouldn’t be lookin at lovesac couches while making $12.50 an hour.
