Visit collection ↗What to look for
Picking fabric isn’t just colour.
- Rub test (Martindale). 15,000+ for general domestic, 25,000+ for heavy domestic, 40,000+ for contract and hospitality.
- Fire safety. All UK upholstery covers must meet the 1988 Furniture Fire Safety Regulations. Crib 5 for commercial and contract; Geometric and Chieftain carry FR / IMO certification across their ranges.
- Pattern repeat. Bigger repeats need more metres to match cushions, arms and back panels. We calculate this for you so you don’t under-order.
- Wipe-clean vs woven. Agua’s technical fabrics look like fabric and behave like vinyl — ideal for kids, pets, kitchens and caravans.
- Leather grades. Crest and Futura cover the spectrum from full-grain residential to performance leathers built for contract and hospitality wear.
