Fabric Sofas Explained

There are so many different types of fabric that can be used on sofas, including linen, velvet, wool, and polyester, just to name a few. These fabrics can all come in a variety of colours and patterns to suit the other furniture and features in your living room or TV room.

With all these options available, choosing the right fabric sofa is important because it can completely change the style, look, and feel of your room. Some fabrics add a cosy feel to your room, while others have a more modern, minimalist aesthetic.

No matter the material you choose (or the colour), fabric sofas are renowned for their classic comfort, especially when styled with matching scatter cushions. They make your living room appear extremely inviting and add a certain level of warmth that a leather sofa may not be able to provide.

Benefits of Owning a Fabric Sofa

There are many benefits to owning a sofa with fabric upholstery. We have outlined some of the main advantages below:

Exquisite Comfort

A sofa made from fabric tends to be much more comfortable than a leather sofa. This is because leather sofas are more stiff and rigid and their seats can take a while to break in as a result.

You will not have this issue with fabric sofas as their soft material means that they are almost always instantly comfortable from their first use.

Durable & Comfortable Material

Leather sofas can be uncomfortable in extreme weather. During the summer months, you stick to the material when you sweat. In winter, the material can get uncomfortably cold and may need to be covered with a blanket.

The materials used for our fabric sofas do not pose these problems and have a reputation for looking cosier and more inviting owing to their soft, warm fabric.

These sofa seats are also a better alternative to leather sofas if you have pets or small children. This is due to the fact that leather sofas are easily scratched, whereas sofas made with fabric are very durable and much harder to visibly damage.

Faux leather is a good middle ground if you're looking for a leather look with some of the benefits of fabric — Browse our faux leather sofa range.

Space & Colour Versatility

Sofas with fabric upholstery are not just an extremely versatile feature for a living room. They can also work to divide a bedroom, adding the perfect balance of warmth and style to your decor. For example, adding a smaller sofa next to a bedroom window can create a cosy coffee or reading nook.

There are also more colour shades and fabric options when it comes to fabric sofas and chairs. So you are almost certainly guaranteed to find upholstery that fits perfectly with your home and its furniture. Available in almost any colour, our fabric seat sofas are ideal for matching up with colourful scatter cushions and throws.

Leather sofas, on the other hand, may be more limited in regard to the colours and material designs that are available.

Cost-Effective Furniture

Sofas made from fabric are generally cheaper than most leather sofas. While some are more expensive than others — depending on the material — they still tend to be a much more budget-friendly option.

Ultimately, edgy materials such as leather and silk may look trendy. But, when it comes to sofas, fabric is a clear winner, as it is so functional, easier to clean, and more resistant to damage.

A fabric sofa seat is a worthwhile piece of furniture to invest in for any home. Choose Home Detail to order your new sofas with fast delivery throughout the UK!

What you Should Consider when Deciding on a Fabric Sofa

Whether you are looking to buy one of our blue high-back fabric sofas or velvet cream 2-seater fabric sofa sets, there are several things to consider first. Here are some of the most important aspects to give thought to before purchasing a new fabric sofa for your home:

Space Availability & Comfort

As with any sofa, when you shop for a new fabric sofa, you first need to consider how much space you have to work with. Once you've established your space requirements, you can move on to choosing something that is comfortable and functional in the space you are working with.

A sofa set seats more people and will work well in large living rooms. However, a set of sofas may make smaller spaces look cramped and crowded. For rooms with restrictive shapes and sizes, 2-seater fabric sofas or 3-seater fabric sofas are better options.

Type of Material

When it comes to the placement of your sofa, another consideration is the material.

Some fabrics struggle in direct sunlight, as sunlight can fade the vibrant colour of your couch. To make sure the colour of your sofa lasts as long as possible, try to ensure that you have a place in your living room where excessive sunlight won't damage your fabric sofa.

Maintenance

Fortunately, maintenance is not particularly difficult with our fabric-upholstered sofas, as long as you are regularly fluffing and rotating your foam cushions and pillows.

Vacuuming the upholstery as part of your usual cleaning routine is important to keep your sofa looking fresh and clean no matter how long you have had it.

Sofa & Interior Style

Finally, ensure that the style and colours of your sofa suit the rest of the furniture in the room that it is going into.

Different types of fabrics and colours will suit different rooms and decor styles, so it helps to take inspiration from your own living space and furniture when you shop from a furniture store online for your new sofa.

FAQs

How long do fabric sofas last?

The lifespan can be a good few years if it is properly cared for. Regularly cleaning the fabric and rotating the pillows and seats will help your sofa last as long as possible.

Are fabric sofas cheaper than leather sofas?

In most cases, yes. However, certain types of fabric can be very expensive, so it depends on what type of fabric your sofa is upholstered in.

For example, in some cases, a faux leather sofa may be less expensive than a sofa with a very luxurious velvet fabric.

How do I know that a fabric sofa is right for me?

Fabric sofas are very versatile and complement most homes, regardless of the colour palette.

So if you are able to find the right fabric sofa to fit into your budget, match the furniture and colour scheme in your room of choice, and suit the needs of your household — it's likely the perfect sofa for you.

Are fabric sofas easy to keep clean?

Cleaning dust and pet hair off of your fabric sofa is relatively easy, and a quick vacuum will often do the trick. However, you may want to have your sofa professionally cleaned from time to time. This is because pet dander and dust can become deeply embedded in the fabric of the sofa seat.

If there are any spillages on your sofa, be sure to clean them as soon as possible to avoid any long-term damage or stains on the material.

Are there any disadvantages to owning a fabric sofa?

A fabric sofa is generally an ideal investment for most homes, but some households are less suited to them than others.

Pet hair can easily get stuck on the fabric. This is relatively easy to clean off of velvet fabric sofas due to the flat pile of the velvet, but the dander from pet hair may be harder to get out of other fabrics. This can be problematic if there is anyone in the household who struggles with allergies.

Similarly, smells can cling to fabric sofas in a way that they don't with leather sofas. This is something to consider if any members of your household are smokers. If you do not want any smells lingering in your home, a fabric sofa may not be the ideal choice for you.

Fabric sofas can be tricky to get stains out of if not dealt with immediately. This is something to consider if you are living in a house with young children. You don't want to spend lots of money on a new fabric sofa only for it to be spoiled or damaged by sticky hands, paint spills, or any other accidents shortly after you have purchased it.

While none of these issues is a major problem that does not have a solution, it is worthwhile keeping your household dynamics in mind when purchasing a fabric sofa.
