- Ready for real life: pets, kids, crumbs and all
Everything worth knowing
What fabrics and colours are available?
There are six fabrics to choose from, each with its own texture and character.
Twill and Chenille are our House Fabrics, the top choice for good
looks and great value. Velvet and Linen are our Hero Fabrics, loved
for their comfort and character. And for a little more drama,
Slubby and Bouclé are our Headliner Fabrics, bringing depth and
detail. Bouclé comes in a beautifully edited palette of neutral
shades.
Across the collection, there are 34 colours to explore, from calm
neutrals to richer, moodier tones, all designed to play nicely
together.
What's the best sofa fabric for durability?
If durability is top of your list, look for a high rub count and a sturdy weave. Rub count is the industry's way of testing how well a fabric stands up to everyday wear. The higher the number, the tougher the fabric.
Most of our fabrics are tested to a rub count of 60,000 or more,
making them more than ready for busy homes. Linen has a naturally
softer, more relaxed character while still being strong enough for
everyday lounging.
All our fabrics are also spill-proof by design, so they're built to
handle real life.
Which sofa fabric is best for homes with pets or kids?
The good news is that all our fabrics are designed to be hard-wearing and easy to live with, so they're well suited to busy homes.
If you're after something especially relaxed and practical, Twill,
Chenille and Linen are great options. If you prefer more textured
fabrics, Slubby and Bouclé bring plenty of character, while our
plush but tough Velvet is a go-to choice for parents and pet owners
as it hides a multitude of sins.
All our fabrics are designed to be hard-wearing so you can have the look and feel you love.
Are Loaf fabrics spill-proof or stain resistant?
All our fabrics are spill-proof by design.
That means liquids bead on the surface rather than soaking straight
in, giving you time to grab a cloth and gently blot before anything
settles.
Particularly useful for homes where the sofa sees a bit of
everything. Coffee, wine, and the occasional biscuit crumb
included.
How durable are Loaf fabrics?
Very. Our fabrics are developed for real life and real homes. That means they're tested to high rub counts and are made using strong yarns and thoughtfully chosen weaves, to handle years of everyday sitting and general loafing behaviours.
In short, you can count on them to keep their colour, texture and
good looks for years of lounging.
How do I clean and care for my sofa fabric?
Day-to-day care is fairly straightforward.
For dust or crumbs, a quick vacuum with an upholstery attachment
usually does the trick. If something spills, simply blot gently
with a clean cloth while the liquid is still sitting on the
surface.
For the finer details, take a look at our fabric care guide. One thing worth knowing: our fabrics aren't suitable for the washing machine. For a serious refresh, professional dry clean only.
