Fabric sample Imo Silver Mist (IMO 50)

Popular upholstery fabrics are mainly woven fabrics, velours, velvets and chenilles. Woven fabrics are durable, breathable and have a pronounced texture, velours and velvets stand out for their softness and elegant look, and chenilles are thick, fluffy and cope well with everyday use.

The most durable upholstery fabrics include densely woven fabrics and chenilles made of polyester or polyamide. Their resistance is increased by a compact weave, special protective coatings and a high Martindale test result, often upwards of 50,000–100,000 cycles.

A good upholstery fabric should be durable, easy to keep clean and suited to how the furniture will be used. Velours, velvets, woven fabrics and flock are frequently chosen, combining good looks with resilience. When buying, consider how intensively the furniture will be used and whether children or pets live in your home.

Current upholstery trends are dominated by bouclé, velour, velvet and corduroy, which is back in fashion. Fabrics with a distinctive, three-dimensional texture in warm, natural, earth-inspired colours are especially popular.

A good choice for a sofa is velour or a water-repellent material with an Easy Clean finish, which helps limit the absorption of liquids and makes cleaning easier. When choosing a fabric, consider how the furniture will be used day to day, whether there are children or pets at home, and your preferred interior style.

IMO fabric stands out for its modern look and three-dimensional surface. A special way of weaving in the pile makes the material soft and thick, with a characteristic melange texture.

A fabric swatch set is a collection of small pieces of material that lets you compare the available colours, textures and thicknesses. It makes it easier to assess the look and properties of a fabric before ordering a larger quantity for furniture or clothing.

Abrasion resistance describes how well a fabric withstands friction and wear in everyday use. It is measured with the Martindale test, and the higher the number of cycles, the more durable the material. Fabrics below 10,000 cycles are usually decorative, 20,000–40,000 cycles is enough for typical home furniture, and values above 40,000 indicate very high resistance.

When choosing an upholstery fabric, match it to how intensively the furniture will be used and the needs of your household. With children and pets, water-repellent, easy-to-clean fabrics such as Monolith, Venus Velvet or flock are especially practical, as they are highly abrasion-resistant and absorb little liquid.

There is no single best category of fabric, as the choice depends on the intended use. In upholstery, hard-wearing plush, velours with a water-repellent finish and tightly woven fabrics work well. In clothing, on the other hand, breathable natural fabrics such as linen and cotton, as well as durable synthetic materials, are popular.

The optimum weight for sofa upholstery fabric is usually 300–500 g/m². Fabrics in this range are suitably thick and hard-wearing, but their durability also depends on a tight weave and abrasion resistance.

Imo Srebrna Mgła is the colour variant with the code IMO 50. The shade's name suggests a light, silvery tone, which is best judged in real life, as the perception of the colour can change depending on the lighting and surroundings.

It is a plush, textured fabric, so its surface is not completely smooth. The tangible texture affects both the look of the material and how it appears from different angles and in different light.

PES stands for polyester, so the fabric is made entirely of polyester fibres. It is worth looking at this composition together with the material's performance parameters. Imo Srebrna Mgła achieves 80,000 cycles in the abrasion test and a pilling resistance rating of 4–5, which helps you better judge how it will behave in everyday use.

The material weighs 380 g/m² with a tolerance of ±5%. This parameter indicates the mass of one square metre of fabric and is useful for comparing different upholstery materials in terms of their construction and character.

The fabric achieves 80,000 cycles in the abrasion test. This parameter is particularly important for furniture used regularly, as it shows how well the surface resists repeated contact and friction.

Its pilling resistance is 4–5. This is a very good result, indicating that the fabric has little tendency to form the typical bobbles on its surface.

In the colour fastness to rubbing test, the material scored 5 dry and 4–5 wet. This means very good dye durability during normal contact and rubbing, including in damp conditions.

Light fastness is 4. With light, subtle shades, it is worth also looking at the swatch where the furniture will stand, as daylight and artificial light can affect how the colour is perceived.

Imo fabric combines a plush, textured surface with high resistance to abrasion and pilling, plus very good colour fastness to rubbing. This combination means that when choosing this fabric you can judge not only its looks but also its durability with regular use.

A swatch lets you see the true shade, texture, weave and thickness of the material. You can compare it with the colour of your walls, floor, curtains or other furniture and check how it looks both during the day and after dark. At Pillovely you can order up to 5 swatches completely free of charge.

The IMO 50 variant is available, among others, for the Gory divan bed with storage. Ordering a swatch before buying lets you check in advance how the silvery shade and texture of the material will look in your bedroom.
