recliner fabric
The right recliner fabric can turn a worn-out favorite chair into the most inviting seat in the house. Recliners stretch, fold and take daily wear, so choosing upholstery fabric for recliners takes more than picking a color you love.
What to Look for in Recliner Upholstery
Durability and Stretch
Look for heavy-duty upholstery fabric with a tight weave that can handle constant reclining at the seams, arms and footrest. Check the abrasion rating when one is listed, and consider fabrics with a little give so they move with the mechanism instead of pulling at the seams.
Easy Care
Performance fabric and microfiber upholstery resist stains and usually clean up easily, which makes them smart picks for homes with kids or pets.
Popular Fabric Choices
- Faux leather upholstery for a sleek, wipeable finish
- Chenille upholstery fabric for plush, cozy softness
- Microfiber for a smooth, velvety feel
- Tweeds and textured weaves for hiding everyday wear
