(ARA) - Sneezing season has returned, and allergy and asthma sufferers are once again facing the challenges that the change of season brings. Runny noses, itchy eyes, coughing and sneezing afflict millions of Americans each year. But it’s not just seasonal allergies that cause problems; perennial allergies triggered by dust, dust mites, animal dander, mold spores and flea eggs afflict 50 million Americans. And, regardless of the conditions outside, all of these culprits can use your upholstered furniture as a comfortable home!

The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) recently released a list of practical ways that people can reduce their allergy exposure, suggesting “A good way to reduce allergens in the living room is to use washable slipcovers and cushions, and wash them once per week.”

When it comes to ready-made washable slipcovers, Sure Fit’s got just the prescription allergy sufferers need. Available in a wide variety of patterns and fabrics, Sure Fit slipcovers make it easy not only to change your décor, but to make your furniture far less hospitable to allergens. Best of all, this is one prescription whose effects you’ll feel immediately, since Sure Fit slipcovers fit 85 percent of all furniture manufactured today. A few simple measurements are all you need to begin to rid your upholstered pieces of pesky allergens, while updating the look of your furniture and the design of your room.

Whether your room needs just a checkup, or requires a major operation, you’ll breathe easier when you discover the affordability of Sure Fit slipcovers. With a price range of $59 to $159 to give that old sofa a new lease on life, you won’t need a doctor’s income to make things better.

Kathleen Cwirko-Spero, vice president of marketing for Sure Fit and an allergy sufferer herself, points out that “There’s not much you can do to control dust and pollen outside, but asthma and allergy sufferers shouldn’t have to suffer inside their homes. Sure Fit slipcovers, washed regularly, reduce the allergens that cause that sneezing and wheezing.”

Many Sure Fit slipcovers are treated with Scotchgard Protector, which provides stain protection and keeps slipcovers looking new, longer. All are machine washable and dryable, all have patented seat elastic for a secure fit, and all require minimal tucking. Sure Fit slipcovers are available for loveseats, wing chairs, dining chairs, sofas, recliners and ottomans; all favorite hiding places for dust, dust mites and other allergens. Get on the road to recovery by ordering your in-stock slipcovers online or by phone, and they’ll be at your home within ten days.

Sure Fit slipcovers are available through the Sure Fit mail order catalog at (800) 305-5857, online at www.surefit.com and at select retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond, Macy’s, Linens ‘N Things, JC Penney and other fine retailers nationwide. Courtesy of ARA Content
