The choice of fabric for sofas is conditioned by 3 main factors.<\/h2>\n

The first is definitely the combination with the surrounding <\/strong>environment of the living room. To condition this choice affect the color com<\/em>bined with the "hand" <\/em>of the yarn.<\/p>\n

The second factor concerns the practicality<\/strong> of use or the ease of clean<\/strong>ing, meaning the anti-matic treatments, as<\/em> well as the washing standards<\/em>. Whether or not washing in water (or better to say washing in the house) is crucial for those who renew their living room more than for those who are making their first purchase.<\/p>\n

The third reason is the search for an appropriate quality stand<\/strong>ard, which allows some resistance to wear<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Natural sofa fabr<\/strong>ics are \u2013 linen, cotton, wool, cotton velvet \u2013 preferred for the warmth and comfort they give to the environment, but at the same time they are the most difficult to clean compared to synthetic fibers.<\/p>\n

On the market there are innovative, water-repellent and s<\/strong>tain-resistant synthetic and artificial materials<\/strong>. However, since each fabric has its merits and defects, make the choices according to yo<\/em>ur needs as well as personal taste.<\/p>\n

Here are the fabrics for sofas most use<\/strong>d by sofa manufacturers.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Acrylic i<\/strong>s similar to cotton and linen fabrics but less durable, does not fade, wrinkles and is also suitable for outdoor environments.<\/li>\n
  2. The chenil<\/strong>le is particularly soft and is more durable than velvet, thanks to the synthetic fibers that make up it.<\/li>\n
  3. Microfiber <\/strong>has significant advantages over traditional fabrics. In fact, it is a washable, waterproof fabric, resistant to dirt and weather, it is soft and comfortable. In addition, it guarantees a certain perspiration, thanks to its microporous membrane that makes it ideal for continuous use. The microfibre comes in any shade, from pastel to classic.<\/li>\n
  4. Alcantara<\/b>\u00ae is a unique registered branded material, produced and marketed by the eponymous company. It is Made in Italy and sustainable and is a versatile product that embellishes the surfaces it covers. It's easy to maintain and it lasts. It is in a medium-high price range.<\/li>\n
  5. Cotton, <\/strong>wool, linen, cotton velvet are woven with different and fine textures, but they are easily stained and over time they tend to puncture.<\/li>\n
  6. The sil<\/strong>k is very valuable but delicate, you can only use it for a refined living room, where the sofa is little used. Silk and damask are precious and shiny fabrics that can also be inserted in a modern context with clean lines to create a pleasant and extremely refined contrast.<\/li>\n
  7. Polyester is <\/strong>a practical and durable chemical fiber. It has a soft and pleasant surface to the touch. It stands out from other fabrics for its particular strength and generally needs little maintenance. It does not wrinkle easily and rarely deforms. In an environment with 85% humidity it absorbs only 1%.<\/li>\n
  8. The skin-lik<\/strong>e is the synthetic variant of natural skin. There are bad products on the market, very cheap and free of wear resistance. After a few months the sofa is to be thrown away. It must be of great quality resistant over time and able to deform little. It is clearly cheaper than the skin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
