Olefin / Polyproylene: It's highly resistant to stains, mildew, abrasion, and sunlight, so it's great for both indoor and outdoor use! It's also made from an up-cycled material so it's a great choice for the eco-conscious buyer. Some polypropylene upholstery fabrics are even bleach cleanable!

To give a broad estimate, reupholstering a couch (fabric only) will take 15–24 hours of work. Repairing the frame and springs and replacing the stuffing will take extra time. If you employ a furniture repair specialist to do the job, expect your sofa to be with them for around two weeks.

A reliable upholstery service provider should offer a wide selection of fabrics, allowing you to find the perfect match for your furniture and personal style. They should also be knowledgeable about different fabric types, their durability, and their suitability for specific uses, helping you make informed decisions.

The different types of upholstery fabric include cotton, linen, wool, leather, acetate, hemp, silk, polyester, polypropylene, acrylic, rayon, and nylon. Upholstery fabric can be constructed from one type of yarn or a blend of yarns. Choosing the correct upholstery fabric will ensure the longevity of your furniture.
