Faux Suede Upholstery Fabric for Sofas, Chairs and Pillows
Faux suede upholstery fabric gives furniture the plush, velvety look of genuine suede without the delicate upkeep. It's a favorite for busy households, DIY reupholstery projects and anyone who wants a soft, inviting finish on everyday pieces.
Why Choose Faux Suede for Upholstery
Often made from tightly woven polyester microfiber, synthetic suede fabric has a smooth, brushed surface that feels warm to the touch. Many microsuede upholstery fabrics resist pilling and fading better than natural hides and are easier to spot clean. That makes them a smart choice for homes with kids or pets.

What to Look For
Check the weight and backing. Heavier faux suede fabric by the yard holds up better on high-traffic seating, while lighter options suit pillows and drapery. Look at the color and nap direction too, since suede look fabric can appear lighter or darker depending on how it's cut. Review the care instructions to match the fabric to how the piece will be used.
