Microfibers are a Great Fabric Choice for Sofa Beds
March 12th, 2010
Microfibers, which are made from 100% polyester, are extremely durable and easy to clean. A sofa bed will often go into a living room or other area that allows for a high level of use, and likewise has a high potential for getting dirty or stained. Polyester microfibers are a great upholstery choice for sofa beds, for two primary reasons. First, polyester is naturally a very strong fiber. Perhaps more importantly, microfibers are made by a tight compression process, which bars abrasives, such as dirt or hair, from embedding within the fibers. When this does happen, say with a loose weave, the fibers of the upholstery tend to get forced apart, look worn, and eventually allow for stains and other damage to occur. This will not happen with a polyster microfiber!
