Fabric sample Bella Taupe Gray (BELLA 15)

Popular upholstery materials include durable woven fabrics, delicate velours and velvets, and soft chenilles with their characteristic plush texture.

The most durable upholstery materials include tightly woven fabrics and synthetic velours with polyester or polyamide. In the Martindale test, they often achieve from 50,000 to over 100,000 cycles. Their durability depends mainly on the density of the weave and resistance to stretching, not solely on the thickness of the fabric.

Good upholstery fabrics should be durable, abrasion-resistant and easy to clean. It is worth choosing materials with a Martindale result of over 50,000 cycles, e.g. velours, velvets, bouclé and tightly woven fabrics.

It is worth choosing upholstery fabrics that are durable, abrasion-resistant and easy to keep clean. Materials achieving over 50,000 cycles in the Martindale test work well, such as velour, velvet, bouclé and densely woven fabrics.

A fabric’s abrasion resistance shows how well it copes with friction and everyday use. It is measured in the Martindale test, during which the material is rubbed repeatedly under a set pressure. The higher the number of cycles, the more durable and wear-resistant the upholstery.

For corner sofa upholstery, it is worth choosing water-repellent fabrics such as velour, velvet or a durable weave. A good material should achieve over 45,000 cycles in the Martindale test and be easy to clean. How the sofa will be used also matters, especially if there are children or pets in the home.

The most commonly recommended weight for sofa upholstery fabric is 300–500 g/m². Such material stands up well to everyday use, but its durability is also determined by a tight weave and high abrasion resistance.

The label 100% PES indicates that the material is made entirely of polyester fibres. It is a synthetic fabric produced from chemical raw materials, and the abbreviation “PES” refers specifically to polyester.

Chenille is a sturdy upholstery fabric with a soft, plush surface that adds to comfort. It works well on sofas, armchairs and corner sofas because it combines an attractive look with durability and resistance to everyday wear and tear.

Velour stands out for its smooth, slightly lustrous surface, which gives a room an elegant character. Chenille, on the other hand, has a plusher and more pronounced texture, so it looks cosy and performs well in everyday use. Both materials are soft, but they differ in texture, style and practical properties.

Chenille needs gentle cleaning and regular vacuuming with a soft brush. Fresh marks are best removed with a damp cloth, gently blotting them rather than rubbing. Avoid hot water and strong cleaning products, which can damage the texture of the fabric or cause it to shrink.

Bella Szary Taupe is a muted shade that combines grey tones with the character of taupe. It is a calm, neutral shade whose true appearance is best judged with a sample, especially if it is to be paired with other materials and colours in the room.

Bella fabric combines the features of a woven fabric and chenille. As a result, its surface has a visible texture and the material does not feel completely smooth. This type of finish creates a more textile, distinctive effect on upholstered furniture.

Bella is made of 100% PES, i.e. polyester fibres. The composition is best considered together with the material’s other parameters – the fabric achieves 80,000 cycles of abrasion resistance and a pilling rating of 4–5, which gives a better idea of its performance.

In the abrasion test, Bella achieves 80,000 cycles. This parameter shows how resistant the surface is to repeated friction and is particularly useful when choosing material for furniture that is used regularly.

Pilling resistance is 4–5. This is a very good result, indicating that the surface is only slightly prone to forming small bobbles and pills during use.

Yes. Colour fastness to rubbing has been rated at 4–5 both dry and wet. This means very good colour durability with typical contact and rubbing of the upholstery in different conditions.

Light fastness is above 5, which is a very good result in this category. When choosing a shade, it is still worth looking at the sample in the intended room, as lighting can affect how the colour itself is perceived.

The weight is 400 g/m² with a tolerance of ±5% and indicates the mass of one square metre of material. This parameter is helpful when comparing the construction of different fabrics. With Bella, it is worth considering alongside its woven chenille texture and resistance parameters.

Bella stands out for its abrasion resistance of 80,000 cycles, a pilling rating of 4–5 and very good colour fastness to rubbing and light. The fabric is also flame-retardant. These features are worth considering alongside the look and texture of the material.
