Fabric sample Miscanto Melange Ash (MISCANTO 15)

Commonly used upholstery materials include woven fabrics, velours and chenilles. Woven fabrics feature a strong, visible weave, velours have a soft, plush surface, and chenilles are thicker, with a pleasant, distinctive texture.

The most hard-wearing upholstery fabrics are generally considered to be dense woven fabrics and chenilles made from synthetic fibres such as polyester or polyamide. Their durability is enhanced by a tight weave, protective layers and high abrasion resistance, confirmed by a result of around 50,000–100,000 cycles in the Martindale test.

Your choice of upholstery fabric should depend on how the furniture will be used and what your household needs. With children and pets, velours and flock fabrics with water-repellent properties are practical, as they make cleaning easier. Woven fabrics are valued for their durability, and bouclé for its distinctive looped texture. It is also worth considering abrasion resistance, water repellency and the Pet Friendly label.

The most fashionable upholstery fabrics at the moment are bouclé, velour, velvet, corduroy and nubuck-effect fabrics. Materials with a soft, pronounced texture that bring cosiness and depth to a room are especially popular. Recycled fabrics and versions with easy-clean finishes are also gaining popularity.

Velour has a smooth, subtly lustrous surface and an elegant look, although marks from touch show up easily. Chenille has a soft, plush structure, creates a cosier effect and disguises everyday marks well. Velour works better in elegant interiors, while chenille suits places where comfort and practicality matter.

The best sofa material depends on how the furniture is used and what your household needs. The most durable options include dense woven fabrics, velours with a water-repellent finish, genuine leather and specialist fabrics that resist snagging and pet claws.

Chenille is a soft, plush and durable fabric whose name comes from the French word *chenille*. Its characteristic texture is created by fuzzy yarns that make the material pleasant to the touch, elegant and subtly lustrous.

When buying a sofa, it is worth assessing its dimensions, comfort, type of filling and how well it fits the available space. A solid frame, a possible sleeping function and storage, and durable upholstery that is easy to clean also matter.

Fabrics weighing 300–500 g/m² work well for a sofa, providing suitable thickness and resistance to everyday use. The density of the weave and the material’s abrasion resistance are also important.

Chenille is best cleaned carefully, with regular vacuuming using a soft brush. Fresh marks should be removed straight away with a slightly damp, light-coloured cloth, without rubbing hard. You should also avoid soaking the fabric and using strong bleaching products.

Current sofa colour trends focus on warm, natural shades such as beiges, sandy tones, greige and off-whites. More striking shades are also very popular, including bottle green, sage, olive and deep navy.

Chenille is a popular fabric used in furniture and home textiles, valued for its soft, plush surface and high durability. Its name comes from French and refers to the fuzzy structure of the yarn, which resembles a caterpillar.

The shade is an ash-grey mélange, so it can be a good choice for anyone looking for calm, neutral upholstery. A sample helps you check how the colour really looks in your own room and under different lighting.

Miscanto is a chenille fabric, so its surface has a distinct, soft texture and is not like completely smooth upholstery materials. This type of finish affects both the look and the feel of the material.

The designation 100% PES means the fabric is made entirely of polyester fibres. In practice, this composition is best assessed together with the performance characteristics. Miscanto achieves 70,000 abrasion resistance cycles and a pilling test result of 4-5, which gives a better picture of its durability than the raw material composition alone.

The material weighs 430 g/m² with a tolerance of ±5%. This figure indicates the mass of one square metre of fabric. Combined with the chenille structure, it points to a material with a more distinct, substantial feel than very lightweight upholstery fabrics.

The fabric achieves 70,000 cycles in the abrasion test, an important parameter when choosing upholstery for furniture in regular use. This result shows how well the material copes with repeated friction during everyday use.

Pilling resistance is rated 4-5. This is a very good result, meaning the surface has little tendency to form small bobbles and fuzz during use.

In the colour fastness to rubbing test, the material scored 4-5 dry and 5 wet. This means very good colour resistance to contact and rubbing, including in damp conditions.

Light fastness has been rated at 5. This is a very good result in terms of colour durability. However, the colour itself may look different in daylight, artificial light and alongside surrounding colours, so it is worth seeing the sample in person.

Miscanto combines a chenille surface with good performance characteristics. The material achieves 70,000 abrasion resistance cycles, 4-5 in the pilling test, very good colour fastness to rubbing and a light fastness rating of 5. This means it can be assessed not only on its looks but also on how it performs in everyday use.

Yes. Miscanto fabric has flame-retardant properties. This is an additional feature of the material that may be relevant when comparing different upholstery fabrics in terms of their performance.
