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?

Silverfish are harmless. And no issue if there is just a few of them.

Silverfish are harmless

They are attracted to glue, book bindings, paper, sugar and textiles. Silverfish can destroy silks, cotton and other fabrics and may feast upon leather in the event of a famine. Silverfish inhabit dark, damp areas such as closets, attics and basements and will feed upon paper and linen stores in these locations

Do you keep your sofa in a dark damp location? If not then your safe.
