Fabrics for Recliners

Recliners are covered in a variety of different fabrics. Materials that cover recliners come in many different colors, textures and weights. The fabric you choose to cover your recliner largely depends on the purpose of your new recliner. Do you need a fabric that is extremely durable for high traffic areas? What is best for you may not be the best choice for another.   Although there are many fabrics to choose from, these listed below are the most common:

 

This material would make up most of the fabrics available. Upholstery gives you a great deal to choose from as far as color and design. The price might significantly vary depending on the type of material that you choose. Different types of fabrics might include, corduroy, floral, stripes, solids, velvet, plaids, and suede. 

Micro fiber is much like ultra suede, only better. Micro fiber is made with tiny filaments that are tightly packed together. This creates a fabric that is moisture resistant, durable, breathable, and easy to maintain. It has become extremely popular because of its soft feel and its durability. Recliners covered with micro fiber material are very reasonable in price, which is one of the reasons this up and coming fabric is so popular. 

Not only are leather recliners pleasing to the eye, they are also extremely durable. Pure leather is a natural product, as opposed to a manmade material. This material is conditioned to ward off stains and is wonderful for day to day use of families. Because leather recliners are such a great product, they are more expensive. However, there are lower grades of leather that will help drop the price of a leather recliner. The downside to lower grade leather is that, unfortunately, it might not be quite as pure and plush as a higher grade.
