How to Pick the Best
Upholstery Fabric for Furniture
When choosing upholstery,
you should be aware of its
durability, cleanability,
and resistance to soil and
fading. Use our guide to
upholstery fabrics to find
the right material for your
project.
Upholstered furniture
receives varying degrees of
use depending on the type of
piece and where it's
located. No matter how
upholstery is used in your
home, it's important that
the fabric stands up well to
its usual level of use. For
example, sofas, chairs, and
ottomans receiving only
moderate amounts of wear,
such as those in bedrooms or
more formal spaces, will do
fine with a less durable
fabric. However, pieces
subjected to daily heavy
wear, like the family room
sofa, need to be covered in
tough, durable, tightly
woven fabrics to protect
against stains and damage.
When purchasing upholstery
fabric or upholstered
furniture, be aware that the
higher the thread count, the
more tightly woven the
fabric is and the better it
will wear. Thread count
refers to the number of
threads per square inch of
fabric. Use this guide to
natural and synthetic
materials to help you find
the best upholstery fabric
for your next furniture
project.
