Style North - Spring 2009 Tonic Living has also expanded its service from just fabric to custom sewing of pillows, cushions, futon covers and draperies. One thing I like about the company’s website is that it provides complementary fabric suggestions with each query–sure helps for the pattern-challenged among us. |

Slice Network - Winter 2009 Accessories make the outfit – and the same goes from your place, too. Change up the old pillows on your couch with something a little less lived in-looking. Tonic Living's cushions are more affordable and come in so many graphic prints, one is bound to match your décor (from about $25). |

Hip Hostess - January 2009 Hip Hostess has been on the search for cool, retro fabric for a number of events in the planning stages. And we found it! One of my favorite things about the website is that if you click on a specific fabric, complimentary suggestions will pop up along the side of the chosen fabric. This is a fantastic tool for mixing and matching patterns as well as a huge time saver. |

Apartment Therapy: Chicago "Bridgett tipped us off to Tonic Living. It's a web-only family owned business located on Toronto. The across-the-border-ness of it all seems to be no problem - prices and shipping are listed in both CAD and USD, which is wonderful, since this looks to be a good source for fun home fabrics for diy-ers or Tonic-made pillows and futon covers for the rest of us." (Thanks, Bridgett!) - janel |

Washingtonpost.com - March 11, 2007 Slipcover with Style Your futon may not be the most comfortable seat in the house, but does it have to be the ugliest, too? Most futons have either queen - or full-size mattress pads, so the thrifty, no-brainer solution is to cover yours with a crisp, new patterned bed sheet. For something more durable, check out the retro-modernist slipcovers by Tonic Living, which sells dozens of designs in neutral tones and bold, Marimekko-ish patterns. And the price ($47.95-$84.95) is certainly right. - Chris Richards |

Daddy Drama "I searched and searched and finally came across Tonic Living, a small fabric store in Toronto, Canada. You know how you have a vision but you're not sure if it will really work out the way you want? Well, I definitely had that fear once I ordered the fabric. However, the fact that Janine at Tonic Living was so helpful and offered to take back the fabric eased any concern I had. |
