Sure Fit Celebrates 100 Years

ALBURTIS, Pa., Jan. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sure Fit Inc. (www.SureFit.com), the leading slipcover and home solution company since 1914, is proud to announce a major milestone, its 100^th anniversary celebration.

Prior to the debut of Sure Fit, most furniture covers were expensive, made-to-order vinyl protectors created by furniture tailors.  These plastic covers left much to be desired in terms of fashion, function, and cost leading Sure Fit to introduce the "ready-made" slipcover category as we know it today. 

Now, a century later, Sure Fit continues to innovate with a full range of stylish and affordable slipcovers made to extend the life of existing furniture and create a fresh, redecorated look in any room. New "custom-fit" styles, designer patterns, and patented fit features are generating great excitement with do-it-yourself home decorators and interior designers alike. These ready-made, machine washable slipcovers make redecorating and seasonal updates simple and fun.

Key milestones in Sure Fit's first 100 years include:

• 1914: Sure Fit opened for business.
• 1940: Sure Fit joined the war effort and manufactured parachutes.
• 1950: Sure Fit introduced the knit slipcover.
• 1997: Sure Fit debuted its first slipcover catalog for home delivery.
• 2006: Sure Fit revolutionized slipcovers with the introduction of the form fitting stretch knit slipcover.
• 2006: Sure Fit introduced slipcovers specifically designed for box and T-cushion furniture.
• 2009: Sure Fit entered the pet market with versatile protective furniture covers.
• 2013: Sure Fit introduces Ultimate Heavyweight Stretch Suede; individual cushion covers make this the most custom slipcover to date.

In addition to Sure Fit's large selection of slipcovers, the company has also expanded its offerings to include a variety of home goods, including coordinating decorative pillows, rugs, lamps, furniture, pet solutions, bathroom accessories and outdoor covers to become the destination for a variety of home decorating needs.

"We are so thrilled to celebrate our 100 year history and would like to thank our customers for looking to Sure Fit for fashionable, functional and cost effective home decor for all these years," said Margaret Nanni, SVP of Product Development of Sure Fit Inc. "As we honor our past, we also look ahead to a bright future of innovation and providing customers with great home solutions and looks they will continue to love."
