In order for the armchairs or sofa to serve as long as possible, it is important to take care of their upholstery, regularly take care of cleaning the fabric, and prevent its contamination with food. But in fact, it is much easier to maintain the original beauty of the sofa if you cover it with a special cover on upholstered furniture.In past years, the most common bedspreads or sofas were used for this purpose, but both options were inconvenient to use.

Materials of manufacture

A distinctive feature that is characteristic of velveteen is the presence of scars on the front side. Thanks to this texture, the material forms a longitudinal relief;
Velor is a soft velvety fabric, the pile of which is even and located on the front side. They produce velor based on natural wool, cotton, synthetic fibers. Due to this fact, velor is natural, does not provoke the development of allergic reactions, but is practical and durable. The villi on the material are formed by cutting fibers, which are fixed on the base. Therefore, velor is soft, pleasant to the body;

As a result, the canvas looks deliberately crumpled. Header crash is practical, does not require specific care. It does not need to be ironed after washing. Despite the fact that in the process of manufacturing furniture covers from a crash reaper, fabrics with a fine structure are used, the product still turns out to be voluminous, catchy in appearance;
Microfiber is a synthetic fabric that consists of high-fineness polyester fibers. It is sometimes made from polyamide, sometimes from other plastic chemicals. The fabric is practical, thin, but durable. The main feature of such a material is the ability to quickly absorb moisture, also to dry quickly, but not to let water pass to the wrong side. As a result, spilled water does not threaten the upholstery of upholstered furniture;
