sectional fabric

The right sectional fabric can turn a tired, oversized sofa into the comfortable heart of your living room. Sectionals see more lounging, snacking, and pet naps than almost any other piece of furniture, so the material you choose matters as much as the frame underneath it.

What to Look for in Sectional Upholstery Fabric

Durability for Daily Use

Choose a tightly woven, heavy-duty sofa fabric made for upholstery. Check each listing for an abrasion rating when one is provided, and favor weaves that resist pilling and snags.

Easy Care

Performance fabric for sofas and other stain-resistant upholstery options make spills far less stressful, which makes them ideal for homes with kids or pets.

Comfort and Style

Consider texture and color together. Chenille and velvet feel soft and cozy, while canvas and twill offer a crisp, tailored look. Mid-tone colors and subtle patterns help disguise everyday wear.

Plan Your Couch Reupholstery Project

Sectionals use a lot of yardage, so measure every section, including seat and back cushions, and add extra if your fabric has a pattern that needs matching.
