Sydney Chenille Upholstery Fabric | 45,000 Rubs Commercial Grade | Basketweave Texture

Price range: £0.00 through £314.29 Price Including Tax

  • Note: Fabric Orders over ½ meter will be sent in one continuous piece.

Upgrade your furniture with Sydney Chenille, a premium upholstery fabric that combines superior softness with extreme durability. Featuring a modern Basketweave Texture, this fabric offers the cozy, tactile feel of chenille but with a structural weave that looks stunning on sofas and armchairs.

Boasting a massive 45,000+ Martindale Rub Count, this fabric is technically Commercial Grade. It is more than double the durability of standard high street furniture fabric, making it the ultimate choice for busy family living rooms, campervans, or even contract environments like hotels and bars.

Why Choose Sydney Chenille?

  • Indestructible Durability: With 45,000 rubs, this fabric resists wear, tear, and friction better than almost anything else on the market. It is ideal for your “everyday” sofa that gets heavy use.

  • Soft & Textured: The Chenille yarn creates a soft, velvety surface, while the Basketweave structure adds visual depth and modern style.

  • Machine Washable: Despite being a heavy-duty upholstery fabric, it can be machine washed at 30°C—a lifesaver for removing sticky fingerprints or pet stains.

  • Wide Width: At 145cm-150cm wide (approx 59″), it is perfect for large furniture pieces and wide curtains.

Ideal Uses

  • High-Traffic Upholstery: Family sofas, dining chairs, and office furniture that needs to survive daily wear.

  • Commercial Projects: Pub seating, hotel headboards, and waiting room chairs.

  • Soft Furnishings: Heavy, draught-excluding curtains and scatter cushions that feel expensive to the touch.

  • Campervans: The high durability makes it excellent for van bench seating that doubles as a bed.

Specifications

  • Composition: 97% Polyester, 3% Nylon (Polyester makes it durable, Nylon makes it tough)

  • Width: 145cm – 150cm (approx 57″ – 59″)

  • Durability: 45,000+ Martindale Rubs (Commercial Grade)

  • Texture: Soft Chenille Basketweave

  • Care: Machine Washable at 30°C

Expert Upholstery Tips

  1. Handling Chenille: Chenille fabrics can fray when cut because of the pile. We recommend using an Overlocker (Serger) or a Zig-Zag stitch on the raw edges immediately after cutting to stop them unraveling.

  2. Needle Choice: Use a Universal 100/16 or Jeans Needle. You need a thick needle to push through the dense basketweave structure.

  3. Nap: Chenille has a “Nap” (brushing it one way looks darker, the other way lighter). Always cut your pattern pieces with the nap running in the same direction (usually “down” the furniture) for a consistent colour.
