A couple of months ago I purchased a couch and a couple of weeks ago I purchased some covers. Anyone knows what is this bug?

At my last property, silverfish ended up being an indicator of wall studs rotting away.

Excess condensation was dripping off the pipes due to poor insulation & high humidity, exasperated by an addition/extension done by the previous owners which had removed the only nearby exterior ventilation.

In your case, hopefully these silverfish just originated from the factory, or maybe they're there due to dandruff or something. Neutralize them and carry on as normal, if you see more then i would suggest inspecting for damp or calling a professional to look in the walls, taking things from there as you deem best.
