Upholstery Fabric FAQs
What is Upholstery Fabric? ▼
Upholstery fabric is commonly used to cover pieces of furniture like dining chairs, lounge chairs, sofas, couches, sectionals, ottomans, pillows and more. The fabric itself is made from several different yarns such as natural yarns like cotton, linen, wool as well as synthetic yarns like nylon, acrylics and polyester. Many upholstery fabrics are commonly used for curtain and drapery applications.
How Wide is Upholstery Fabric Cut? ▼
Upholstery fabrics are traditionally woven 54” wide. This is because couch cushions have historically been designed at 13.5" intervals, so it minimizes waste. The textile industry has adopted the 54” standard, as weavers weave at that width, then designers design to that size so you can get an even cut.
What Makes a Durable Fabric for Upholstery? ▼
A durable fabric for upholstery is referred to as a “high performance” fabric. High performance means some characteristics made into the fabric that enable a fabric to have an extended life through durability. Examples of high performance fabrics are Indoor/Outdoor fabrics that resist harmful ultraviolet rays as well as mildew resistance, and fabrics with high abrasion specs with a stain and soil resistant finish such as Crypton Home. As examples, you can explore our entire selection of decorator-quality high-performance indoor/outdoor upholstery fabrics as well as Crypton Home here.
