upholstery fabrics

Sofa covering materials

Upholstery fabrics are textiles designed for covering furniture—sofas, chairs, ottomans, and the like.

They're engineered for durability, abrasion resistance, and cleanability rather than drape or softness against skin.

Common types include leather, velvet, chenille, microfiber, and canvas.

We need to choose an upholstery fabric that can survive the kids and the dog.
