What are the sofa fabrics? What are their characteristics?
There are many types of sofa fabrics, the most common ones are cotton, linen, flannel, chemical fiber, etc. There are also sofas made of a variety of blended chemical fiber fabrics. Sofas made of different fabrics have different qualities, and their corresponding prices are also very different. Today I will introduce to you several commonly used sofa fabrics and their respective characteristics.
Features of sofas with different fabrics:
1. Pure cotton sofa: Pure cotton fits the skin better. Pure cotton fabric sofas are breathable and soft, and you will feel extremely comfortable when sitting on them. Pure cotton sofas currently have a high market share. And the price of sofas is relatively cheap, but there are still some defects, such as poor elasticity and poor wear resistance. If it is in the south, because the humidity is relatively high, it will also face the problem of fabric mold. Therefore, this kind of sofa needs more effort in daily care and maintenance.
2. Velvet sofa: Velvet sofas mainly include corduroy, suede, etc. Because velvet is more expensive, the price of velvet sofas has also risen. The sofa is soft and comfortable to sit on. Its warmth-retaining effect is much better than cotton and linen, and it has the function of dustproof and dirt-removing. However, velvet has a major drawback, which is that it is easy to generate static electricity. Human hair or animal hair is easily stuck to the surface of the cloth and is difficult to clean. Moreover, long-term exposure to static electricity may have a definite impact on human health.
3. Linen sofas: One of the characteristics of linen is that it has good air permeability and conductivity, which is especially suitable for summer. It may be much harder to sit on than a velvet sofa, but linen has good color fixation and generally will not fade or pill, nor will it easily generate static electricity like velvet. Its good antibacterial properties prevent the sofa from easily getting moldy even in a humid environment, which can make up for the defects of cotton cloth. Of course, a big defect of linen is that it has poor elasticity, so the sofa's ability to recover after deformation is particularly limited.
4. Blended chemical fiber fabric sofa: Generally, it is a blended chemical fiber fabric made of cotton, linen, silk and other chemical fiber materials. The quality of the blended chemical fiber fabric is relatively poor, and both the function and appearance are very ordinary, but the price is much cheaper. However, in recent years, with the improvement of blended chemical fiber fabric technology, the quality of blended chemical fiber fabric sofas has improved a lot, and they are elastic, strong and durable. In fact, a large part of the sofas on the market are blended chemical fiber fabrics. If you have a limited budget and want a higher cost-effectiveness, blended chemical fiber fabric sofas are also a good choice.
The above are several sofa fabrics and their respective characteristics introduced to you. I hope that after reading this article you will have a deeper understanding of fabrics.
