Fabric for Upholstering Sofas, Chairs, Armchairs and Headboards

Using fabric to reupholster furniture is a great way to refresh your interior without replacing pieces that are still structurally sound. Reupholstering a sofa, updating dining chairs or covering a headboard can make a significant difference to the look of a room.

Our range includes fabrics for decorative furniture as well as options suitable for seating exposed to more frequent use. Depending on their technical specifications, certain fabrics may also be suitable for professional interior design and commercial projects.

Hard-Wearing Upholstery Fabrics and Specialist Features

Durability is an important consideration when choosing fabric for frequently used furniture. Depending on the product, our collection includes materials with different levels of abrasion resistance, care requirements and specialist treatments.

Selected scratch-resistant upholstery fabrics may be particularly appealing for homes with pets. However, scratch resistance does not mean that a fabric is completely immune to damage.

Individual product pages provide the available technical information, including composition, width, weight, Martindale abrasion test results where supplied, and any additional performance features or care recommendations.

How to Choose the Right Upholstery Fabric

Before choosing a fabric, consider the type of furniture, how often it will be used, the desired appearance and cleaning requirements. For everyday sofas and armchairs, abrasion resistance is particularly important, while colour, pattern and texture may take priority for decorative pieces.

Fabric width, fibre composition and handling characteristics also affect the final result. Check each product's specifications to select the most suitable material for your upholstery project.
