upholstery fabric
Sofa covering material
Upholstery fabric is textile material used to cover furniture—sofas, chairs, ottomans, and the like.
It's typically heavier and more durable than fabric for clothing or curtains, designed to withstand regular use: We chose a sturdy upholstery fabric for the dining chairs.
Common types include velvet, leather, chenille, and microfiber.
